Memorise - Psalm 126:1 - When the LORD turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream.
Read: Genesis 41:39-44
Bible in one year: Leviticus 17-19
Another
lesson from the story of Esther is how suddenly God can transform an
individual. Not long ago, Esther was a young girl but a nobody, then
suddenly she won the beauty pageant and emerged queen. After Esther's
promotion, the one who was used to receiving instruction became the one
issuing out instructions (Esther 4:15-17). God is the true source of
promotion and He can promote you slowly quickly or even dramatically. If
you receive Jesus into your heart and accept Him as your Lord and
Saviour, He will suddenly promote you to sit with Him in the heavenly
places, and you will begin to rule over the powers of darkness that once
dominated you (Ephesians 1:17-23). This promotion is sudden! Also, a
little shepherd boy who was very unimportant in his own family, was
promoted overnight to become king: this was how David became one of the
most famous kings of Israel (1 Samuel 16:11 -13). God can move you from a
point of being unknown in your small family to a height of national
importance. Are you unknown in your family, church, or comm unity? Then
you are the one God is seeking to promote. He will promote you suddenly
beyond your expectations this season.
In Genesis 41:39-44, we also see how Joseph who was lied against, thrown
into prison and forgotten by men, was remembered by God and overnight
he was made next in command to Pharaoh. He became the most useful and
influential figure in Egypt and beyond. His change came suddenly. Have
you been persecuted and forgotten by men? Have people caged you within
the prison of their minds? Are you asking when your turn to break
through shall come? This season, the Lord will remember you. He will
open the prison doors keeping you caged and bring you out. The Lord will
lift you up suddenly. Your rise shall be sudden and nothing will stop
it in Jesus name. There is a user of this Devotional who has done a lot
for God's Kingdom and made sacrifices for the Lord, yet it appears you
have been forgotten for long. Rejoice, your time of divine remembrance
has come. The Lord will promote you suddenly and give you the harvests
of seeds sown over the years. You are a candidate for sudden promotion
this season. Worship, praise and thank God for His power to lift you up
suddenly.
Prayer point: Father, You changed the levels of Esther; David and Joseph
suddenly; Lord, make this season my season of sudden promotion.
