God’s Advancement

January 14, 2018
by Gladys Goveia

 

I read a story in Joel Osteen book, I Declare, about a friend of his who wanted to attend a major university, but he needed a scholarship to pay for hi tuition. He applied many months before the school year started. Even though his grades were good enough to get into the school, he was informed that there were no more scholarships available. So, he enrolled in a junior college instead.  It looked like his dream of going to the major university was over.  It looked like the situation was permanent. All the fact said it could not happen. But just a few weeks before school could start he got a called back that said something had open up. Instead of offering him two-year partial scholarship he had applied for, they offer him a four-year total scholarship.

You may think your situation is permanent. You have been in it a long time.  You don’t see how you could ever rise any higher. All the facts are telling you it’s impossible. But God is saying get ready. Where you are, is not permanent. He can increase you beyond your salary, he can bless you beyond your normal income. I can suddenly change things in your life. God wants to do a sudden widespread increase. That’s what God wants to do for each of our lives.  You won’t expect it.  You won’t expect it. It’s out of the ordinary and it’s so amazing you know it had to be the hand of God.

I read another story of a gentile who said he had received a huge inheritance from a family member he had never met before. In fact, he didn’t even know that they were related, but this man left him a gift that thrust. His family to a whole new level. He was able not only to pay off his house but was able to pay of several others people’s houses as well.  In Ephesian 2:7 it said that we would see the unlimited, immeasurable, surpassing greatness of God favor. In the real world, it may look like you could never accomplish your dreams. You’ve already calculated how you will never get out of debt. You have run all the numbers, but I believe God is saying I will bring you out.  God has blessing that will catapult you years ahead. He has increase that goes beyond your normal calculations.  I have learned that God doesn’t always take us in normal increments. We have to be faithful day in and day out.  Because of your faithfulness God can take you from a seven to a ten. Do not give up on hope, and do not lose heart.
