NORMAL & ASSISTED PROGRESS
Memorise: He chose David also his servant, and took
him from the sheep folds: Psalm 78:70; Read: Genesis
27:1-10, Bible in one year: Genesis 5-7, John 11:28-44
comes the state of normal promotion. This refers to a state
of progress where growth occurs at a normal rate or at a
generally acceptable pace. A person operating on this level
moves step by step and from stage to stage. In some
organizations, it is normal to be promoted from one level to
another once in four or five years. However, the problem
with this kind of promotion is that it is ordinary; there is
nothing exceptional about it. It is at variance with the
abundant life Jesus came to give us (John 10:10). Normal
promotion is not exactly what God has planned for you as a
child of destiny. It is crowded at this level of progress. In all
their lifetime, some people have never experienced any
type of progress beyond the normal. If you are in this
category, the Lord is moving you to something higher this
season in Jesus’ Name. From a crowded school of prophets
and teachers in Antioch, the Holy Ghost separated Paul and
Barnabas to an exceptional life in ministry (Acts 13:1-2). The
Lord will separate you from the crowd and make you
exceptional in Jesus’ Name.
Beyond the state of normal promotion is a state known as
assisted promotion. This is experience when someone is
personally interested in your welfare and choose to assist
you by taking you to a level you are not yet due for. The
three Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
experienced this in Daniel 2:49
“Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of
the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of
the king.”
After their friend, Daniel, was made a great man, they were
assisted to the top based on his recommendation. Note
however that this state of progress still requires hard work,
as this may even be the reason why you were considered
for elevation in the first place. Another example of assisted
progress can be found in the story of Isaac and his family.
Isaac called his beloved son and firstborn, Esau, and
instructed him to go hunt and prepare him a delicious meal
so that he could transfer the generational blessing to him. As
he left to do so, his mother, who overheard her husband’s
instructions, decided to arrest the blessing from Esau and
pass it over to Jacob, her own beloved son. She therefore
designed a plot to assist him, and she schooled him on what
to do. In the Name of Jesus, the Lord will raise people to
assist you into a level you were not expected to attain.
Human and divine assistance shall work in your favour this
season in Jesus’ Name.
PRAYER POINT :
Father, let human and divine assistance relocate me to
the top.
