If God doesn’t
promote you, you're not promoted.
I can’t promote myself. You
can’t promote yourself. Only God can. That’s why whenever
something good happens to us we give praise to God and Him only. The
only thing that man can go for us is have favor on us.
Many people seem to
think that because they have been to seminary school or are called by
God (or their daddy) or have been saved for 30 years that they should
be first in line to get a promotion from Him.
Wrong. Promotion
comes from being faithful and qualified.
I often ask myself
why is it that pastors and leadership have to beg people to do
anything? Whether it’s cleaning the church or raising money for a
special project or evangelizing, no one should have to be prodded to
do anything in God’s kingdom, but should readily be there with
their time, money and abilities. We shouldn’t have to be begged to
do something. If a man has to beg his wife to keep the house clean
then there is something wrong with the relationship. But God always
take care of those who are about His business.
When I first started
attending church I was a bench warmer, but when a person loves the
Lord they show it; by being faithful, doing thing for Him, and
spending time with Him.
