Every promotion comes with a trial; there is no free promotion anywhere. As a believer, bear it in mind that every great door has their adversaries waiting to stop you but the one who opened that door for you is also waiting for you to trust him and enter boldly. 1 Corinthians 16:9 (For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries). As soon as you pass one another one will be waiting for you because your life has been ordained to move from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). God's faithfulness shows in how He honours his covenant in the lives of his people; He is ever faithful and true. His faithfulness cannot be over emphasis despite our unfaithfulness, God is always committed to His word (Psalm 24:7-10).
Psalm 89:30 (If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips).
When God says go I will be with you always he means it but that does not mean that challenges will not come; the work of challengers is to stop you and makes you doubt the faithfulness of God. If there is no challenge in view God will not tell you to go that he will be with you, he will just let you continue because there is no need for his presence. One of the mistakes we believers often make is to misinterpret God's instruction. I personally was preparing to embark on a Journey on March, 4th, 2022 and the LORD visited me on the 1st of March, 2022 and He called by my name and said to me, I will protect you, I will tend for you, do not be afraid. It was a direct encounter. One may ask, but Nene, did you face any challenges? Of course, yes. The Journey that looked so harmless to me came with a lot of challenges as soon as I stepped out. My first night there I was welcomed by a very big scorpion (smile), and they kept coming in numbers but I was not hurt by any of them. I always find them either paralysed or dried up. That is one of his faithfulness without numbers that I am talking about. In the midst of those challenges when fear wants to creep in; I always remember those words from the LORD and have my peace.
Isaiah 43:1 (But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. 3 For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. 4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life).
God said when you pass through the fire he will be with and will not allow the fire to burn you; He also said that the sea and rivers will not overflow you because he will be with you always. Friends, that fire in front of you will not burn you if you dare to enter and the river will not overflow you if you dare to put your feet. Your promotion and lifting is tied to that trial of Faith. You just have to believe every one of His words. Shadarch, Meshach and Abed-nego went through the fire and came out unhurt (Daniel 3:1-30); the children of Israel passed through the red sea and river Jordan and came out without any record of them being drowned (Exodus 14:8-31). The enemies of Daniel were devoured by the Lions and the fire slay those who put Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego on fire and the King confesses seeing the son of God as the fourth man in the fire with them. What more proof do you want in order to know that God is committed to His word concerning you. He said that He will kill men because of you and that happened in the life of Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. The Pharaoh and his armies all perished in the red sea. Friends, dare to believe God and you will see His salvation in your life today. All the above examples of his faithfulness are the reason why I know that He is fully aware of your situation. It is because of his faithfulness that you are still alive today, if not the enemy would have finished you up quickly when their wrath was kindled against you (Psalm 124:3). It will be sad if you are not aligned with God, that means they will be no end to your tunnel. Friends, make up your mind to enter into his covenant of faithfulness today by confessing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Pray this salvation prayer below and engage the fourth man in fire in your battle and you will continue to win all through your journey here on earth and also secure eternity with him in heaven. God bless you; I am waiting for your testimony.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
