“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” (Psalms 75:6-7).
We have to trust in God’s timing and maintain confidence that what he has promised will come to pass. You don’t need to work to impress your boss or supervisor. “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Colossians 3:23). We submit to authority and show respect for those who have been placed over us. What we do not do is become so overly preoccupied with wanting to impress. If God is pleased with what we do, then everyone else will be pleased with our work.
We maintain a spirit of excellence and work to a good standard. God should be at the centre of everything that we do. The way that we carry out our jobs should bring glory to God. We are God’s representatives in the market place. Our clients, customers, colleagues and supervisors should see God in us. We are blessed and highly favoured and whatever we put our hands to is blessed (Deuteronomy 30:9).
No one can overtake you, run ahead of you or take what rightfully belongs to you. If God has a promotion or a raise with your name on it, then no one can snatch it out of your hands. Rest in the assurance that God has his hands on you and your breakthrough is here. Your promotion is lined up and ready and your increase is at the table. Stay seated in the presence of God and wait for his instructions to move forward and possess your possessions.
“Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God” (Psalms 146:5).
I am a trained Social Worker who currently provides professional leadership on a programme to support Social Work students and Newly Qualified Social Workers entering the Social Work Profession.
Born and raised in Jamaica in a Christian family where my father is an ordained Pastor and Deacon who has served for over 50 years in the ministry. My father is also a trained musician and our family can be described as a musical family. I grew up in a small farming community in St. Peter’s, St. Andrew and my parents also have a small farm.
I credit my gift of writing to my father who I watched and listened to over the years as he wrote sermons, poems and other recitals in his capacity in ministry. English has always been an easy subject for me and over the years I have developed an increased interest in writing.
I am a Trainer, I sing and have a passion for worship, the spoken word and the free flow of the prophetic anointing. I am married to my best friend Andrew Christopher Young who is an advanced Musician and whose music you can find on YouTube and Facebook. I am a trained Coach and Mentor and I love experimenting with food so I love cooking. I enjoy trying cultural dishes from across the world and I view food as an entry into cultures and languages.
