Heaven Is Cheering For Your Promotion

Destiny Partner

Good Morning Destiny Partner. I trust that you are great. I can never thank you enough for allowing me to invade your cyber space every weekday with this life-changing article. The feedback i receive everyday is really humblying.

Destiny Partner, I can assure you, your today will never be the same again.You are going to be blown away, as i demonstrate to you from the word of God that heaven is cheering for your promotion.

I believe that God has made everything to function within a specific environment. A tree won't survive without the soil, the same way a fish wont survive outside the water. I also believe that every person of earth has a functional place.

Genesis 39: 1-5 [NKJV], “Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there. 2 The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand. 4 So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority. 5 So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house and in the field.”

I want you to realize something in this piece of scripture; when Joseph arrived in Egypt, he was sold yet again, but this time, it was not to the Ishmaelite merchants, it was to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard.

And Potiphar’s objective for buying Joseph entailed to employ him in his house as his servant. When I read that, I said to myself, “There must have been something about Joseph that the Egyptian liked.” In verse 2 of that scripture, we read some of the most profound words in the bible…”The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.”

It is out of that scripture where we learn the true definition of success. Joseph arrived in Egypt as a slave. He got into Potiphar’s house with nothing but God. And then we read, The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man…

How does God define success?

# 01. Success / Prosperity is the empowerment to accomplish or achieve things that you would otherwise not achieve.

The third verse says, “And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand.” When you operate with Joseph’s blessing, your employer must SEE that the Lord is with you. Everything you touch in your employer’s house must turn into gold.

It was only after the employer had seen that everything Joseph touched turned into gold that we read, “Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.”

Check the order. It says, his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord made all he did to prosper in his hand, and then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.

Your promotion lies with the visibility of the blessing on your life. Joseph was promoted when his employer saw the favour of God upon his life. If you don’t get promoted at work, maybe you have not operated in the blessing of Joseph in your employer’s house.

You see, heaven had a strategic agenda in Joseph been promoted. The bible tells us that, Potiphar made Joseph an overseer. Yes, an overseer. In today’s terms, we could use the word General Manager. Even if I repeated that word, you wouldn’t understand the meaning of that function, not unless you studied under the auspices of economic management and sciences.

A person who majors in General Management has more responsibility than anyone doing a specialized discipline. They do accounting, marketing, business management, economics et cetera throughout their studies…

In other words, when someone graduates with a specialized degree like marketing or accounting, a General Management student is capable in all those disciplines….did you know that? Only business students will understand.

How much does an average BCom degree cost? R50000? Joseph acquired the skills in Potiphar’s house for free…

Never underestimate the role that your job plays in the assignment that God has for your life. I often say, look at your roles in your company, they might give you a glimpse of where you are going. God uses our jobs sometimes to facilitate our life assignment…

I want to finish with bad news though...you can never operate with Joseph's blessing until you are moved into your functional place...

And in case you asking yourself how to connect with your functional place....ORDER MY BOOK....LOL

*Things We Learned Today*

01. Success / Prosperity is the empowerment to accomplish or achieve things that you would otherwise not achieve.

02. Promotion in your job depends on the visibility of the blessing upon your life—Your employer must SEE that the Lord is with you.

03. Your Employer is blessed on your behalf---when the turnover increases, you must know, its because you are there. If you don’t believe me, scroll up and read that scripture again.

04. Heaven always has a strategic agenda in you been promoted
