The process of promotion

Some folks and things will have to be moved out of the way so that you can begin to make progress in
certain areas of your life!

Do not be surprised when you hear or read of the demise, demotion or removal of individuals from key places or positions in life. The reality is, the removal of such persons will automatically unclog the pipeline of progress for others. This does not necessarily mean that these folks did something wrong to be removed. Instead, this is what is known as the process of progress.

Scripture tells us that Moses in his anger towards the Egyptian soldiers in their mishandling of the Hebrew people, caused him to literally struct and kill one of the Egyptian soldiers and eventually fled Egypt. Scripture further records that after approximately 40 years of being on the run or living in exile, the Lord said unto Moses, "Go back to Egypt, for all those who wanted to kill you are "DEAD" which sought thy life." Exodus 4:19.

After spending such a long time in the wilderness, unknowing to Moses during those 40 years of being on the run, his circumstances were preparing him for the next stage of his life. Interestingly enough, Exodus 4:1-17, a dialog between Moses and God ensued, where God was revealing to Moses what would take place during the next stage of his life. Nevertheless, in spite of all the grand plans, God had for Moses some folks had to be removed that would have usually blocked Moses' progress or should we say delay his destiny.

Okay! So someone died, someone was demoted, someone was fired, someone just up and quit, someone just without notice ended the relationship, well rather than looking at these everyday occurrences from a negative and depressing perspective, your initial thought should be.... Who is about to be advanced? Who is about to be promoted? What change is about to take place? Or Who is about to actually begin living their life after the exit of certain folks?. Better yet! What can you do now that you could not do before because of those blockages that were initially in your way?

I want to say to someone today, that advancement and a new beginning for you will come through some of the most unlikely set of circumstances but fear not because these are the things that God had originally intended to unclog the system of progress just to elevate you!

However, there are three fundamental things that you must make a note of during this transition, and they are:

1) Do not forget where you came from

2) Treat folks the way you would wish to be treated

3) Be fair and just with all that you are given rule over while viewing the past as experience and not a motive to get back at others that were not on your side.

For the day will come when the cycle of removal and promotion will run its course in your life so that others will have the opportunity to be advanced.

God will cause someone to recognize and reward you for your passion

Don't stop singing, don't stop writing, don't stop schooling, don't stop motivating, don't stop inspiring, do not stop doing whatever it is your passion is consistently encouraging you to do, even when you don't feel like doing it.

Everyone that has made it in life got the attention and assistance of someone who was in a position to help them get to where they are now as a result of doing the things that they're so passionate about doing. I promise you, GOD HAS SOMEONE ASSIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO RECOGNIZE, PROMOTE AND TO REWARD THE EFFORTS OF THE PASSION HE'S PLACED DEEP WITH IN YOU!

Don't mind the naysayers, haters, the jealous crowd and those that belittle your God  given talent/dreams etc. Believe me when I say to you that your talent will usually attract these folks first to your life before the real folks come along that are able to promote, elevate and advance your passion/talent/dreams etc. As a side note, would you believe that there are folks that are literally upset that I am always writing, teaching, posting, sharing and consistently distributing my talent and passion? What they do not know is that I am completely convinced that the day will come when the assigned person will pick up a copy of my work and begin the work they were divinely assigned to do and that is to advance Kevin L A Ewing!

In fact let us agree right now in prayer asking God to reveal your talent to you if you're not aware of it as yet or to give you confidence and boldness to display your talent. Father I agree with the person reading this note right now, that you would position them in the company of those that are in search of their talents and gifts at the right place and indeed at the right time.

Father, we stand on your word right now that says, "A man's gift will make room for him and bring him before great men" Proverbs 18:16. Lord, I command the spirit of fear, doubt and a lack of self confidence be removed from this person indefinitely in the name of your son Jesus the Christ so that they can not only begin to do what you have created them to do but to also be rewarded in doing whatever it is that they love doing.

Lord, prior to any elevation for this person, cause them to understand now that, " Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning" James 1:17. Remind them Father, that your word clearly states that it is the gift in them and not themselves that will make room for them and bring them before great men. Therefore Lord, I command the spirit of pride, self, arrogance and anything that exalts itself above you to be remove now from this person and replaced with humility in the name of Jesus the Christ. Amen!

Possessing the spirit of promotion

One of the most telling signs in life that you will be a future success or that your current dislike situation is only temporary is the undaunted fact that you take absolute pleasure in seeing others advance even though you're at the back of the line!

Those who take pleasure in the advancement of others are of a different spirit. In fact, they are so unique in their spirit that no matter how far at the bottom they may be, the mere fact that they are in view of others getting ahead encourages them that one day, time and opportunity will be afforded them to advance just like others who have advanced before them.

"I have observed something else under the sun. The fastest runner doesn't always win the race, and the strongest warrior doesn't always win the battle. The wise sometimes go hungry, and the skillful are not necessarily wealthy. And those who are educated don't always lead successful lives. It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time" Eccl. 9:1.

Those who are destined for success are more focused on being at the right place at the right time as opposed to concentrating on their skill or talent. This is why being at the back of the line matters very little to them. They are very much aware that time and opportunity can show up at any place and at any time to advance them. It is and will always be the agents of time and opportunity that will escort you to your prepared destiny.

Why does it appear as if God is promoting and advancing my enemies over me?

I am always excited for others when it is their time to advance in life. The reality is their advancement is a sign

that I just could be next in line.

Once we come to an understanding of spiritual law concerning promotion and demotion, we quickly comprehend the fact that it is God and God alone that promotes and demote all people. So in actuality our promotion isn’t necessarily based on our hard work, our education, our being connected to important people etc.

How many folks that you know that have the advantage of the above mentioned but still are at the back of the line? My friend please read what I am about to say next very carefully. Promotion for all people (good and evil) is solely based on God’s calendar of promotion and demotion. One of the many attributes of God is that he’s omniscient, which simply means he’s all-knowing, all-seeing and there is nothing that escapes his knowledge of things past, present and future. Therefore one’s promotion or demotion is based on God’s greater plan for mankind as opposed to the glory of any individual.

For example, it may be surprising to you if I said that it was God that elevated Adolf Hitler, Saadam Hussein, The Pharaoh of Egypt, Nebuchadnezzar, King Herod, Muammar Gaddafi and other tyrant oppressive leaders. It was this same God that elevated peace makers such as a Dr. Martin Luther King, Guandi, Mother Theresa and so many others like them that brought peace to the world. Nevertheless, religion would mislead you to believe that God only elevates good people and demotes bad people when the truth is scripture clearly says otherwise.

“For promotion comes neither from the east nor from the west, nor from the south but God is the judge: He is the one that ultimately puts down one and sets up another” Psalm 75:6-7.

“The LORD makes poor, and makes rich: he brings low, and lifts up” 1 Samuel 2:7.

"For he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust" Matt.5:45

“And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings” Daniel 2:21

“The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD” Job 1:21

“And all the trees of the field shall know that I the LORD have brought down the high tree, have exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have made the dry tree to flourish: I the LORD have spoken and have done it” Ezekiel 17:24

“I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me” Jeremiah 27:5.

"This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers And the decision is a command of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, And bestows it on whom He wishes And sets over it the lowliest of men." Daniel 4:17. Please read Job 12:12-25 for an in-depth understanding of God’s supervision of all promotions and demotions.

Absolutely no where will you find in the above scriptures where God said he will only demote those that do evil and promote only those that do good! Instead, the overall understanding of the above scriptures is that God who is all knowing chose whom he will to promote and advance his agenda according to his divine will. Scripture is saturated with such evidence. In fact the entire book of Judges is basically littered with such occurrences, where through the disobedience of the children of Israel God would raise up their Enemies to oppress them until they confess and cry out to him. Then he would rise up a leader among the children of Israel while demoting their opposition.

God’s plans are far more complex and far more reaching than our limited desire to be the Boss, the manager, a supervisor or even president of a company instead like I have pointed out to you via scripture those promotions and demotions in life will solely be based on God’s will for our lives at those times of our lives according to his calendar of his divine plan. This now explains why that person who only has a high school education is your Boss even though you’ve dome 4 years of college and holding a Master’s degree. This also explains why the children (God’s chosen people) of Israel were enslaved to Egypt for over 400 years in Egyptian bondage, all because God said it would be so according to his plan, Genesis 15:13-14.

Okay! So you didn’t get the promotion, you didn’t get the raise you expected neither did things advanced like you though it would have. Now let me ask you this question, are you upset and depress because your plans didn’t pan out or because God plans did?

I speak from experience and that is, when you name comes up on God’s calendar for elevation in whatever area of your life there is absolutely no one that can prevent that from happening. Just like how no one could have prevented the elevation of that wicked, illiterate or oppressive person from becoming your Boss. The bottom line is simply this, God knew what they were all about from day one, it was no surprise to him how wicked, mean and oppressive they have become to you and it was because of who they were, good or evil that he had calculated them into his plan to achieve his ultimate will. Wicked leaders as well as good leaders are all a part of God’s plan and no one can overturn the plans of God Almighty. Scripture plainly says, “There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD” Proverbs 21:30

My friend, begin to meditate on this word today and put aside your agenda and ask God to reveal to you as to where do you fit in his agenda. Say to God, “Lord I am now aware that it is you and only you that promotes and demote, now remove from my heart that hate and bitterness I’ve developed because I felt so and so should not be elevated over me. Help me to see your way of doing thing as opposed to my limited view in the name of your son Jesus Christ. Amen!

You're being condition for your space at the top!

I want to encourage that person who has been so deeply wounded and has concluded that life is just a
circle of sadness and traps of disappointment and despair. Before you make your next move, just hear me out for a few seconds.

Using myself as an example, I have taken my life's struggles, pains, disappointments, and failures and used them as a new lens regarding viewing life. Like you, I have had so many that have let me down: unexplainable hurts, broken promises, and the relentless thoughts of life's purpose.

There were times when I felt as if praying was a waste of my time, to the point I had actually stopped praying (which I do not recommend). The abovementioned challenges were doing more for me than I could have imagined. Like everything else in life, every matter, every situation, and life's circumstances, there is a time frame for it to exist. However, during its tenure, we have been conditioned to focus on the negative aspects of it as opposed to viewing it as a new lesson to be successful at future tests. In retrospect, I can indeed thank God for every stumbling block, every setback, every disappointment, and everything else that was unfairly issued to me. Now that the tenure of those challenges has ended. My view of life has changed dramatically; I have developed a greater appreciation and understanding of life.

My friend, hear me today: the worst mistake you could make is to give up, cave in, or throw in the towel. In doing this, you are tossing out the ingredients specifically designed to prepare you for what you're being conditioned for. This is why God rarely informs folks of the details of their process. For example, can you imagine if God said to Joseph, you will be second in charge of Egypt, but before that happens, your brothers will hate you, you will be sold into slavery, you will be falsely accused of rape and thrown into prison for something you did not do? He would have said, "I would love to be second in charge of Egypt, but if I have to go through all that, forget it!" If you read Joseph's story carefully, every struggle he encountered was in preparation for where he was headed.

Again, I want to tell someone tonight: DO NOT GIVE UP! DO NOT GIVE IN! If viewed correctly, your challenges are temporary and conditioning you for greater. You will experience your turn at the helm, but you must be trained before your arrival there.............

The bottom line is that life will always seem difficult, sad, disappointing, and the like when one is being conditioned for change. My friend, your challenges prepared you to appreciate and maintain what has been set aside for you. You can not enjoy or even handle what's awaiting your arrival with your current state of mind. In fact, your current state of mind is an enemy of your future!
