I thank God for every one of you and for God\u2019s 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\u2019s wisdom. It is the time of God\u2019s 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.\r\n\r\nEvery one of us desires to see God in our lives \u2013 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.\r\n\r\nGod 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.\r\n<h6>\u00abFor 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\u00bb\u00a0(2 Chronicles, 16:9).<\/h6>\r\nGod does not support and promote just anybody, because He cannot deviate from His own principles. Jesus did everything for us, &#8211; He paid the price for our salvation. There is no need to earn salvation. Salvation is not our merit; it was paid by Jesus\u2019 death on the Cross of Golgotha. But after receiving salvation, we need to perfect this salvation through obedience and walking in light.\r\n<h6>\u00abTherefore, 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\u00bb\u00a0(Philippians, 2:12).<\/h6>\r\nApostle 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.\r\n\r\nAll of us seek promotion. All of our prayers can be replaced with one word \u2013 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.\r\n\r\nIt 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.\r\n\r\nWe will continue about this tomorrow.\r\n\r\nBe blessed!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every one of us desires to see God in our lives \u2013 strong and mighty God.
