How can we earn promotion? III
Greetings to you, dear readers of “Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! May God bless you and keep you from all evil this day! Today we will continue talking about God’s promotion.
We already saw that exaltation and promotion come into a person’s life if he is obedient to God and walks in the light of God’s Word. God desires to exalt every one of His children. He wants to pour out heavenly gifts, His provision and life on His loved ones. But there are some things that cause one person to be exalted and another one to fall. Let’s read from the Holy Scripture.
“By humility and fear of the LORD are riches and honour and life” (Proverbs, 22:4).
“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall” (Proverbs, 16:18).
“Before destruction the heart of a man is haughty, and before honour is humility” (Proverbs, 18:12).
God has set a particular order in His Kingdom; there are some principles that the Kingdom of God is based on: humble people open for themselves the grace of walking in the fear of the Lord, and they experience riches, honour and full life from God – the Word of God says so. The prideful and haughty sooner or later are humbled, and their life is filled with falls and destruction.
If we desire God’s promotion we need to walk in humility and obedience to God. So many people after they get promoted become unapproachable, unsociable, and haughty. Quite often God returns them back to where they were before the promotion. It is something that happens all over the world.
God very often takes a humble person who is unknown to the broader public and exalts him in one day. God sees a humble heart. If you stay modest, teachable and humble, God cannot circumvent His principles. He is looking for humble people all over the world so that He could exalt and promote them.
Whatever is your position and situation in this life, – fear God! He is fully capable of exalting or humbling. God desires for you to become a person that is worthy of God’s exaltation, so fear God! Keep the fear of the Lord and humility in your heart and then God’s blessings and His promotion will not end in your life.
May God help you to understand this truth today, so that you can become a candidate for God’s promotion!
God bless you! Till tomorrow!
