[PROPHETIC WORD] Your Promotion is Here

God gave me this Prophetic Word on Feb 2, 2018. I want to share it with you here:

“Here’s a word that God gave me for you in my prayer time this morning regarding your next promotion. There will be a lot of people wondering why you got promoted in this next season. It's going to look like it was an overnight thing but the truth is you have paid your dues. You have served often without pay or recognition. You served with excellence without contending for the spotlight. You continued to serve your leadership even when your feelings were hurt or you had to be corrected. You never stopped serving.

I see an epidemic of people that will feel like just because they “show up” they deserve the promotion. They will feel entitled to it but God says that this promotion will not go to the most talented or the person with the most degrees or even the most followers. They have not been tested nor have they put the time in. It will go to the person who has humbled themselves under His mighty hand. You served when it was hard to do. You stayed faithful even when you didn't understand. You kept serving in excellence.

God showed me David and how he was anointed as King but after that anointing he went right back to the fields to tend the sheep. He could have become arrogant based on what he knew had been promised to him. But he didn't walk into his full Kingship until the things that needed to be removed had been removed. His character had to be shaped through testing. God said, it’s what you did in the period after you received your promise (your season of testing) that He is pleased with. You did not prematurely contend with Him to step into the role too soon. And because of that, this time when you get it - you won't lose it. You've passed the test. Now you have what it takes to be able to last on your next level. If you would have gotten it too soon would have squandered the blessing. But God is saying now, you will not fail - you will finish. You will finish the work He started in you.

This promotion could only come through being tested consistently in the area of humility. Not only have you humbled yourself under God but you humbled yourself under the leadership that was put over you. You continued to walk in the spirit of humility rather than a spirit of offense even when you felt like things were not fair. They mistreated Jesus but He said not a word. When He could have used His power and authority to vindicate Himself, He didn't. And so goes with you. You could have used what “you knew” to try to remove another and create an opportunity for you to take the number one spot but you didn't do that. You could have tried to promote yourself by stepping up on the back of another who had fallen but you didn’t do that. You allowed love to cover their faults instead. You remembered that Jesus said let the wheat and the tare grow together and when the time is right HE will do the separating. He will make room for you.

Your promotion is here. Remain humble above all else says the Lord.”
