Text —Psalm 75:5-7
Message
Zara was a very brilliant and humble girl. Because of her performance, she was nicknamed “First Among Equals” by the head teacher of the school. She always came first in everything whether in her studies, debates, sports and other extra curriculum activities in the school. She was even given double promotion in her class and scholarship to the university was already waiting for her.
What was the secret of Zara’s success and numerous promotions? Some of her classmates found out that the secret of her success was that she was a friend of Jesus. Zara also devoted her time to seek the face of God for success and promotion in every area of her life, she was also hardworking and obedient.
Promotion does not come from your parents, friends, pastors, leaders, neither does it come through charms or cheating. Promotion comes from the Lord. To receive divine promotion, you need to identify with the source of success and promotion Who is Jesus Christ, the Giver of all good gifts. When you surrender your life to Christ, you then ask Him to take charge of your life.
