Don't Despise Your Promotion

The process to get to your promotion may not feel good but know that you’ll get there if you don’t despise your tests. Your tests enable promotion. They elevate you to the next level. Just like school, once you pass a test you are allowed to go to another level. Not only does the test enable promotions but they ensure that you understand the lesson you were being taught. God allows our faith to be tested to see if we’re ready for our next level. Passing faith tests tells God that you trust Him and you'll go where He takes you. When you pass tests you let the instructor know that you’ve been listening and you understand the material. Passing faith test enables your environments to be expanded, passing tests ensures God that he can trust you with more. When you truly fear (reverential fear) God you can pass any tests. When you fear God you put on the perspective that God is in control and He has the final say in EVERY situation. You understand that nothing can move without His say, it‘s what God allows that happens. When you truly understand this, you don’t fear any situation or person because you’re constantly reminded that at the name of Jesus EVERY knee shall bow,  of those in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue shall confess that JESUS Christ is Lord! (Philippians 2:10-11). Everything has to answer to God. He knows about EVERY tests you'll ever have to go through. Not only does he know about every test but He's seen the end result of everything you'll have to endured. God knows everything and will NOT allow you to go through something if the end result is not greater than the test. Know that the end of a thing is greater than the beginning. You may had to or have been going through what seems like hell but understand at the end your victory will be monumental. God don't allow us to go through something difficult if the reward is not worth it. What Joseph had to endure(Genesis 37-50), what David had to endure (1 Samuel 16-1 Kings 2), what Daniel (Book of Daniel) had to endure, was ALL worth it because the end result was greater than the pain. As Joseph named his first born, Manasseh which means "For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house" because his blessings outweighed his previous distress(Genesis 41:51). Your reward will outweigh your previous distress. As the bible says in Romans 8: 18, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory which shall be revealed in us." Understand your tests are working a greater victory! You have no reason to fear your tests or people, God has the final say. Trust God in every situation and let Him promote you. God is NOT allowing you to go through tests to be defeated, he’s allowing you to go through test to be PROMOTED. GOD wants to promote you, but will you let HIM? Abraham allowed God to test his faith and was blessed beyond measure after passing the test (Genesis 22:15-18). Will you let God bless you!? Pass the test! Get your promotion! Stay in the race.
