PROMOTION COMES FROM THE LORD

Psalms 75:6-7 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. (KJV)

Someone brought his friend to be employed at the company he works. His friend was employed, after a short time he was promoted to the position of manager. He became higher than and became the boss of the person who brought him to the company. 

The fellow who brought him wondered why he hasn't be promoted but the person he just brought in has. He had to look to God. The Bible says "But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another." Promotion comes from God.

You should work heartily and diligently at your place of work but it shouldn't be because you want to please your boss and win his favour to be recognized or promoted. Work there as serving the Lord. You could do your best to please your boss and yet not promoted. If the Lord has not promoted you no one can promote you. Look instead to the Lord.

If you have been serving diligently on any department and capacity at church and no one or even the Pastor gives you credence don't get discouraged at what you are doing. Keep at it. Colossians 3:23-24 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

The Lord will reward and promote you at His own time and terms so don't look to men for reward in what you are doing for the Lord. Keep your head up and focus in what you are doing and do it diligently. Promotion doesn't come from men but from the Lord though He may use men to promote you. 

CONFESSION

Whatever I do I work at it as working for the Lord. It is the Lord Christ I am serving. Promotion doesn't come from the east, west, south or men but from the Lord. In due time He will reward and promote me in His terms. Amen Hallelujah!
