How can we earn promotion?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Greetings to you, dear readers, on the pages of „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! I thank God for every one of you and for God’s mercy that is being poured out on us. Today we have a great privilege: we can freely speak and study the Word of God, drawing from God’s wisdom. It is the time of God’s favour. He desires His children to be filled with His truth, because only the truth can make a person free and strong. Today I would like to start discussing how we can obtain promotion from God.Every one of us desires to see God in our lives – strong and mighty God. It is important for us how God sees us and what He sees in us and in our hearts. I was born to meet needs of other people.God is always good! He does not change. Your problems or illnesses cannot alter the mercy of God towards you. God is always good, and that is God that we serve. Do not let devil deceive you. Know that God is always good! He wants to promote us, but He is looking for a particular individual. He is searching for a person who deserves to be promoted.
«For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him» (2 Chronicles, 16:9).
God does not support and promote just anybody, because He cannot deviate from His own principles. Jesus did everything for us, – He paid the price for our salvation. There is no need to earn salvation. Salvation is not our merit; it was paid by Jesus’ death on the Cross of Golgotha. But after receiving salvation, we need to perfect this salvation through obedience and walking in light.
«Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling» (Philippians, 2:12).
Apostle Paul tells us to work out the very same salvation, for which Jesus paid the full price. How can we earn promotion? Through obedience to God.All of us seek promotion. All of our prayers can be replaced with one word – promotion. If we do not have money, we ask God to bless us; if we are ill, we ask Him to heal us; if we do not have jobs, we ask God open doors of new opportunities; if we have jobs, we ask God to bless us even more and to give us promotion. So, again and again we ask God to exalt and advance us.It is both good and right for us to pray about these things, but miracles do not come from praying alone; we need to be obedient to God. I do not diminish the role of prayer. I just want to point out that to be promoted by God we need to be obedient and walk in the light of His Word.We will continue about this tomorrow.Be blessed!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Discipline is one of the ways how God transforms His children into the image of Jesus Christ

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    We can miss many important and useful opportunities in life if we underestimate what is going on in our lives. God’s discipline is one of these opportunities. Believers have a tendency to despise the discipline of their Heavenly Father. Yet in the Epistle to Hebrews The Lord is calling us to resist the wrong attitude of some believers towards God’s discipline. It says in the Bible: « My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him» (Hebrews, 12:5). The believers that are focused on comfort usually are indifferent towards the truth of God disciplining them. Some of them aren’t even bothered by their sins or irresponsibility. People like that want to be blessed by God, yet they despise God’s discipline. The Bible also tells us that punishment is profitable for us and not God.

    We have been talking about how all big things start small, whether it is a known person, great ministry, great accomplishments or great influence. It all starts when a person does what he can do and does it with all his might as unto the Lord with faith and consistency. When one has such attitude towards life he will have his or her reward from the Lord. Such a person will be blessed and exalted by God. His or her gift will make room for him or her in God’s overall picture and the Body of Christ.Person’s gift will make room for him and will bring him before great men, – this is on of the Bible principles; the Bible teaches about it and also it can be seen in the lives of the people in the Bible.
