God has
marked out a plan of persistent promotion for you. He has a package of
increasing glory for His children. See Prov. 4:18 KJV “But the path of the just
is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day”. Job
8:7, “Though my beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly
increase”. Continue...
But God has
a principle, the principle of promotion. “NO ONE GETS LIFTED OR PROMOTED
WITHOUT PASSING A TEST.” It is a law of the justice of God. So, when it is time
for you to go to another level in God, any new level of increase – financial, marital,
spiritual etc. will be proceeded by tests. God allow tests to come our way
because it is promotion time! See Abraham in Genesis 22:1, “And it came to pass
after these things , that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham,
and he said, Behold, here I am”.
God allowed
a test because it was time to finalize the covenant with Abraham. When trials
come your way, when you are tempted as it were or when tests come, it is not
because God hates you, in fact, it is not so that you can stumble, it is so
that you can rise and change to a higher dimension of glory.
Tests are
our time signal that promotion is around the corner! All you need to do is to
prepare to pass the test. Students don’t conclude that the school is an
oppressor because of exams. No; they read, pass and move on to the next level.
When tests, trials, temptations come, let the stuff of faith come out of your
spirit, face it, go through and emerge a winner!
Prayer: Holy Spirit, please help me to
be sensitive to the times of tests meant for my promotion. Help me to get them
right and pass them in Jesus’ name. Amen
