Promotion
Every human
being wants be promoted in the world. In the quest for being promoted in the
world we do look unto some for assistance to be promoted. Some of us do this
neglecting in totality the input of God and as we do this we injure ourselves
if such a one fails in his/her promise for us.
I had a
friend years back, who have been promised by one of his rich uncle that
immediately he finishes his degree he will get him connected to those that
matter in the society so that his rise in the civil service would be
accelerated. This friend of mine finished his service and his uncle and the
entire family celebrated him. However, the man told this friend of mine that he
would be coming to take him to those he had talked about on a certain day, on
his way to my friend’s place he had an accident and died on the spot.
When this
friend of mine heard of the incident, he was downcasted because he had put all
his hopes in the man that he would assist him to break boundaries and barriers.
Yes, God do
use people to promote one, but the sure promotion comes from God if God has not
promoted anyone it does not matter the effort of man because the person would
not be promoted. The bible says,
Psa 75:6 For promotion cometh
neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.
Psa 75:7 But God is
the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.
It is god
who promotes we as humans therefore need not to rely or rest all our hopes on
man, but we have to rest and place all our hopes on the Lord God who has the
power to lift up and to pull down. The person we hoped would be used by God may
after all not be used, such a one may be substituted and the Lord will use
someone else to promote and lift our heads. Who is it that you are putting your
trust in for promotion? I want to suggest that you reduce your trust in that
person but rather put your trust in the Lord, if you put your trust in the
Lord, he knows the best person to use to bring to pass that which he has in
mind for you, he knows how to make the promotion happen and the time to make
the promotion happen.
