Passing God's promotion test doesn't guarantee your promotion. Yes! You heard me right. This is were a lot of Christians miss it.

Back to Joseph's story.

And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day? 8And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you (Genesis 40:7-.

Take a look at the disposition of this young man Joseph. He was moved from his master's house where he was having the best of time as a slave with other servants under him to prison.

This boy wasn't angry at God. He wasn't angry at his master's wife or at his master. He wasn't crying in one corner of the prison in self-pity.

Praise God!

Joseph was joyfully serving God in his new location. While some saw it as a prison-house, he saw it as another location to preach the word of God with his life (character, conduct, etc). This earned him another leadership position.

God is not a God of the result but a God of process.

God wants to turn you into the man who attracts his blessing, not the man who pursues his blessing.

There are a lot of people occupying positions of authority by recommendation due to their previous exploits in similar fields.

Can God recommend you to a position of power and you will not disappoint him? Have you confirmed to his image that the things that move others don't move you? Can you say like Joseph, "how can I do this wickedness against my God to steal public funds?"

Until the word of the lord tries you, the king will not send for you that is the truth.

What aspect of the word of the Lord are you still failing to obey? Search yourself and take a stand today.

The destiny of many is hinged on your destiny. Your failure is the failure of a multitude of people whose destiny is tied to yours. Will you allow sin to destroy you and those whose destiny is linked to you.

You must fight if not yourself but for those who look up to you to find meaning to life.

Let's pray!

In Jesus' name! May the grace to know your time and season of change be released to you. You will not miss nor fail your test when it come in the name of Jesus. The power to live above sin comes upon you right now in the name of Jesus.

You shall not fail God. You shall not fail yourself. You shall not fail those who look up to you in the name of Jesus Christ.

You are blessed.
