Until the time that his word came:
The word of the LORD tried him. Psalm 105:19


I have heard some people say God doesn't test people. What they are saying is that God does not promote his children.

God can not promote you until he had tested and proved you worthy to be promoted. If he finds you unworthy, you will remain where you are until the next window of promotion opens up again.

God's system of promotion is like civil service. It doesn't come every time. It come in seasons. God deals with man in seasons and times. The Bible said, "And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do" 1Chronicles 12:32.

Everyone's test is in line with his calling. When God was about to relocate Israel to Egypt, he sent a man ahead of them in the person of Joseph. Joseph's story is one of the explicit examples of kingdom promotional secrets.

Joseph was sold as a slave. That means he had no right at all. Now in his master's house, his madam wanted to have sex with him. Either way, he was condemned to death as a slave.

If he sleeps with the master's wife he will lose his life if his master finds out which was bound to happen. If he didn't, as it turns out to be. His life was in danger as a slave who tried to rape his master's wife. Rape allegation is a serious one among equals now imagine one against a slave.

But something that should not have happened took place. Instead of killing Joseph a mere slave for attempting to rape his master's wife an officer of the king, he was thrown in prison. This was a direct intervention of heaven in the affairs of men to preserve one who stood on the side of God.

The word of the Lord tested him. Thou shall not commit adultery. The young man said, "how can I do this wickedness against my God". That day, the heavens knew he will not destroy the destiny of Israel on the laps of the Egyptian women if made a prime minister.
