« He pulled powerful rulers from their thrones and lifted up humble people »
1 Our God, we thank you for being so near to us! Everyone celebrates your wonderful deeds.
2 You have set a time to judge with fairness.
3 The earth trembles, and its people shake; you alone keep its foundations firm.
4 You tell every bragger, “Stop bragging! And to the wicked you say, “don’t boast of your power!
5 Stop bragging! Quit telling me how great you are.”
6 Our Lord and our God, victory doesn’t come from the east or the west or from the desert.
7 You are the one who judges. You can take away power and give it to others.
The topic of today’s devotional is a prophetic word from God to you.
God is saying that He is preparing you for an astonishing level of promotion this season.
You must therefore be full of praises to Him, because promotion comes from Him alone.
Speaking on this, Psalm 75:5-7 MSG says:
5 Stop bragging! Quit telling me how great you are. 6 Our Lord and our God, victory doesn’t come from the east or the west or from the desert. 7 You are the one who judges. You can take away power and give it to others.
As you walk in expectation of your promotion this season, let me give you a few reasons why you should be full of praises to God.
The first reason is that God has chosen to speak against your adversaries, who think that without them your promotion will not see the light of the day.
Their pride will bring them down, because the Lord is your Lifter.
Let David’s confession in Psalm 3:3 GNT fill your mouth this season, saying:
« But you, O LORD, are always my shield from danger; you give me victory and restore my courage »
Moreover, you must praise the Lord because He is the accurate Judge and perfect Assessor acting on your behalf.
He will nullify all the malicious recommendations that have kept you under for years, because this is your season of promotion.
Do you know that this God, who is our Father in heaven, specializes in putting the ungodly down and lifting His children up?
He did it in the life of Mordecai in Esther 8:1-2 NKJV, which says:
1 On that day King Ahasuerus gave Queen Esther the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had told how he was related to her. 2 So the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.”
In addition to this, He caused Mordecai to become second in command to King Ahasuerus (Esther 10:3).
Our Father also did the same thing for Daniel, who was continuously being promoted in the service of several kings, from Nebuchadnezzar the Babylonian to Cyrus the Persian. At the end of it all, Daniel’s enemies, who lifted up their heels against the Holy One of Israel, were nowhere to be found. They all perished for Daniel’s sake (Daniel 6).
Unless your enemies repent, they will become as Daniel’s enemies, and you will be promoted despite their schemes.
Those who said your promotion will be over their dead bodies shall receive the desire of their hearts, because you will be promoted whether they like it or not. Hallelujah!
Application: Lift up your hands right now and worship the Lord, who is the Lifter of your head and your Promoter.
