October: Promotion by the Hand of the Lord
Having overcome the machinations of hell, the Lord has brought us into October and has promised to promote us by His mighty hand.
This is not the kind of promotion gotten by connection, politics, or striving, but the kind that carries God’s fingerprint, so unmistakable that no one can dispute it.
“For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another” - Psalm 75:6-7, KJV. This season, we shall experience this scripture as our practical reality.
Brace up for unusual liftings and favourable placements that are only explainable in the context of the superimposition of God’s sovereign will in human affairs.
For it has also pleased the Lord to move and ensure that all the horns of the wicked are cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted. Every illegitimate horn, built with dishonesty and rooted in compromise, will not stand in this season. But the horn God lifts shall be established, secured, and untouchable.
Scripture is replete with stories of promotion that were divinely orchestrated.
Hannah prophesied that God raises the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory (1 Samuel 2:8).
Mary declared that God brings down the mighty from their thrones and exalts those of humble estate (Luke 1:52).
This has been God’s doing from generation to generation. It is our turn this month.
Be ready for a breakthrough and a change of story. Stay humble; stay in prayer and thanksgiving; and stay faithful in service.
The Lord shall exalt your horn like that of the unicorn, and you shall be anointed with fresh oil.
Remain blessed.
Your Brother,
