ONLY GOD PROMOTES

July 7, 2014

One common desire of all humans irrespective of the color, race, religion or gender is promotion. No man wants to stay on the same spot for years not progressing, which is why some become slaves for their boss just so they could pity them and promote them. Some keep looking up to their rich uncle or aunt in expectation of something. However, I have discovered that the only person worth looking up to for promotion is the Almighty.

The Psalmist said in Psalm 121:1&2 that, “I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.” David wrote that part because he understood that no man has the power to lift up if the Lord does not sanction it. He was an ordinary shepherd boy who was as a matter of hierarchy the least in his family to be ever considered for the post of a King’s right hand man not to talk of becoming a King. However, because God had ordained David’s lifting, even prophet Samuel (prophets are more respected than kings then) had to remain standing just because someone’s time to be lifted has come.

Listen, Bible says in Psalm 75:6 that, “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.” Sir/ma, the only person to look up to for promotion is God because whenever He says YES, I tell you, no man can ever say NO. Bulk of the time, the man that makes another man is source is always perfumed with shame because Prov 3:35 says, “The wise (the man that trusts the Lord completely) shall inherit glory: but shame shall be the promotion of fools (the man that says there is no God and then decided to make man His source).

Remember the man you are looking up to is also looking up to God. Be wise!
