1:24). So, all the animals that live on land actually came from the earth and that's why they must remain on land in order to stay alive. No land animal can successfully live in the water permanently because the land is its source. Man is a spirit and his spirit came from God, even though his physical body came from the ground. Any man who is cut off from God, his source, is actually in death. That's why Jesus said that such a one must be born again (John 3:7). If you're born again, you're born by the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23), therefore you also must remain connected to your source, which is the Word of God, which itself is God (John 1:1). Not staying in the Word is to starve your spirit of the material it needs to survive, grow and function normally. Make a quality decision to remain connected to the Word of God,

which is the nourishment you need for a healthy, prosperous, successful and victorious life! Read and study it everyday, meditate on it and keep speaking it. How God Promotes You Promotion doesn't come from the east or west, but from God alone. He's the only One that can supernaturally promote you in a way that'll baffle your detractors. The promotion that comes from God is the kind of promotion that defies human logic, and leaves people wondering how it happened. The Bible tells us how Joseph was sold into Egypt as a slave by his brothers. To further compound his ordeal, while serving in Potiphars house, he was falsely accused and imprisoned. Things looked bleak until the Pharaoh had a dream which no one but Joseph could

interpret. After Joseph interpreted the dream and proffered his advice on how to contain the coming famine, the king said, "Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou" (Genesis 41:39-40). Glory to God! Joseph went from prisoner to Prime Minister of a foreign superpower nation in one day! That's supernatural promotion the promotion that comes from God. A few verses before the opening Scripture, the king had been angry with all his wise men, and threatened to kill them all. Yet, a little while later, Daniel was promoted! He received the interpretation of the king's dream and saved his life and the lives of

many others. God used a situation that should have led to his destruction as a means of promotion for him! Get ready to receive inexplicable promotions in your life. This is your season to get promoted to higher levels and positions at work that ordinarily shouldn't come to you! Challenges will come that only you can solve. All you need to do is to be diligent like Joseph and Daniel were, and at the right time your promotion will come. How To Grow In Grace The word "grace" is from the Greek "charis" and it refers to the divine influence in a human heart, which reflects on his outside, producing favour, beauty, goodwill, loveliness and ability. In other words, when "grace" is working in your life, there's just something about you that
Pastor Chris
causes favour and glory to abound in your life. For example, when the Lord Jesus was a child, the Bible says he "grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him" (Luke 2:40). It made Him, even as a child, to have favour with God and man (Luke 2:52). In the Book of Acts, Barnabas went to visit certain brethren and "when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all" (Acts 11:23). What was it that Barnabas saw? It wasn't a light beaming out of their heads. He saw the beauty of God; he saw that things were working out excellently in the lives of these brethren." Grace is the power of promotion; it is the thing that causes your life to move from one level to another and that's why the Bible says we must grow in it. The good news is that
Pastor Chris
every child of God has received grace in abundance (Romans 5:17), but the degree to which you let it reflect is up to you. The more you fill your heart with God's Word and have the Holy Spirit work in your life, the greater that grace will shine forth on the outside. You can and should increase in that outward reflection of the glory of God in your spirit, to such an extent that others would take notice. They might not be able to explain it, but they will not be able to deny that there's just something excellent and beautiful about you.
