Three Guarantees to
Promotion
God’s design is for you to grow and progress in what you do.
He is revealing his dream for you as he did to Joseph. God showed him the
wonderful vision of a high authority and leadership role but did not forewarn
him about the rough road ahead. There were no detailed maps and plans with
signs to show distance covered and remaining to destination. God however
guaranteed three things.
>> His
Presence. When you read his awful experiences and the set backs he suffered
you cannot help feeling for him. When you read about his victories, you
likewise are prone to want to applaud him as your hero. You however have a
constant reminder that the Lord was with him[1]. It
is encouraging to know he did not triumphantly go through the pit, slavery and
prison alone. His presence had everything he needed.
>> His Peace.
Peace comes from confidence that you can contain the situation. You can handle
the relationships, you can pay the bills, you can handle the future and you
will not be overwhelmed. God gave Joseph the power to prevail. The grace of God
with Joseph was his source of confident expectation that gave him peace[2].
>> His
Promotion. The road may be long and rough but God’s love and promises
guarantee that your story will end well. In a replay match video, the losing
team can be leading at half time. Joy will come in the end[3].
Joseph experienced sudden unanticipated developments on his
promotion journey. People and factors
other than you often influence time and course for your promotion. Unanswered
questions did not stop Joseph from reaching his promotion. He must have
wondered why his brothers hated him, why he should end up as a slave, why he
was being punished for doing the right thing and why it was so long in prison. You may not understand all that is happening,
but we can be sure that our Lord is in control of the situation. Your part is
to trust God from whom promotion comes. He controls people, circumstances and
consequences in your obedience. With the three guarantees, as Joseph did you
are able to set God inspired goals and keep focus and faith for comebacks when
the unexpected happen.
