The concept of supernatural promotion goes beyond human reasoning and physical effort.
It taps into the divine realm, where God orchestrates events in a believer’s life to elevate them, regardless of obstacles.
While human efforts are essential, supernatural promotion is a product of divine grace, where God adds His power to your work and lifts you beyond what you can accomplish on your own.
This message explores how supernatural promotion operates, the role of grace, and the hindrances to this divine elevation, while providing practical steps to position yourself for promotion.
What is Supernatural Promotion?
To understand supernatural promotion, we must first understand the term “supernatural.” The supernatural refers to events, actions, or experiences that go beyond the laws of nature and human understanding.
These are divine interventions in the natural world, where God manifests His power in ways that defy human logic.
It is the realm of miracles, signs, and wonders, as depicted in Mark 16:20: “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.”
Promotion, on the other hand, refers to being elevated to a higher position or rank. In life, people are promoted in careers, ministries, relationships, and various aspects.
But when we talk about supernatural promotion, we refer to divine elevation, where God positions you for greatness in ways that cannot be explained by human effort alone.
In Psalm 75:6-7, the Bible states, “For promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he puts down one, and sets up another.”
This verse makes it clear that true promotion comes from God.
God Permits What We Permit
One crucial principle for walking in supernatural promotion is recognizing that God permits what we permit.
He has given believers the authority to make decisions and declarations that shape their destiny.
Isaiah 28:11 states, “For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people,” which signifies the power of speaking God’s will into existence.
Through the power of the spoken word and faith, we can align our lives with divine promotion.
1 Timothy 1:18 urges believers to wage spiritual warfare with the prophecies spoken over them.
In other words, we must partner with God by actively engaging in spiritual principles to manifest the promotion
He has planned. 2 Timothy 1:6 further reminds us to “stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.”
God has already given us what we need for promotion, but we must activate it through faith, prayer, and persistence.
The Role of Grace in Supernatural Promotion
One of the most beautiful aspects of supernatural promotion is the role of grace. Grace is unmerited favor—it is when God gives you what you don’t deserve.
It covers your mistakes and honors your efforts, propelling you beyond your natural ability. Job 8:7 tells us that “Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.”
This is the story of grace—God taking something small and insignificant and making it great.
Grace does not ignore our weaknesses; instead, it works through them. Mark 10:27 assures us, “With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.”
When grace finds you, it transforms your situation, lifting you to levels that hard work alone cannot achieve. Mark 16:20 also emphasizes that God confirms His word with signs and wonders.
Grace accelerates the process of promotion, and it is not dependent on your background or qualifications.
Hindrances to Supernatural Promotion
While God is willing and able to promote His people, there are certain things that can hinder this divine process. One of the major hindrances is ingratitude.
Failing to acknowledge God’s goodness can block further blessings. Psalm 92:1-3, 10 underscores the importance of thanksgiving, stating, “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High.”
Thanksgiving creates an atmosphere for supernatural promotion because it acknowledges God as the source of every blessing.
Another hindrance is the association we keep. The people you surround yourself with can either lift you up or bring you down.
Psalm 1:1 says, “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.” The company you keep can affect your ability to be promoted by God.
The wrong associations can introduce doubt, sin, or distraction into your life, pulling you away from God’s plan.
In 2 Samuel 13:1-4, we see how Amnon’s association with Jonadab led him to commit a grievous sin. Jonadab gave him ungodly counsel, which led to Amnon’s destruction.
On the other hand, when Abraham associated with God’s instruction in Genesis 12:4, he was promoted to become the father of many nations.
1 Corinthians 15:33 warns, “Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.”
The people you allow into your life can either facilitate or hinder your supernatural promotion.
Steps to Attain Supernatural Promotion
- Humility: One of the most significant ways to position yourself for supernatural promotion is through humility. Philippians 2:6-11 describes how Jesus, though being in the form of God, humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, and as a result, God highly exalted Him. 1 Peter 5:6 encourages believers to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt them in due time. Humility opens the door for God to lift you because it reflects a heart that depends on Him, not on self-effort.Proverbs 11:12 teaches that “When pride cometh, then cometh shame: but with the lowly is wisdom.” Humility attracts God’s favor, and it is a sure way to supernatural promotion. The Bible shows us that those who humble themselves before God will be elevated in ways beyond human understanding. Isaiah 62:6-7 tells us to pray without ceasing, constantly reminding God of His promises.
- Faith: Supernatural promotion also requires faith—believing that with God, all things are possible. Mark 10:27 emphasizes that nothing is impossible with God. If you can believe, you can experience supernatural elevation. Proverbs 4:18 states, “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.” As believers, we must have faith that God’s plan for our lives includes continual progress and promotion.
- Thanksgiving: As mentioned earlier, gratitude is a catalyst for promotion. Regularly thank God for what He has done, is doing, and will do in your life. This positions your heart for more of His blessings.
- Obedience to God’s Instructions: Finally, obedience to God’s word and instruction plays a crucial role in supernatural promotion. Isaiah 28:11 points to the power of prophetic declarations and spiritual understanding. When we obey divine instructions, we position ourselves for the miraculous. Whether it’s being faithful in small tasks or standing firm in faith, obedience ensures that we remain aligned with God’s purpose for our promotion.
Receiving Supernatural Promotion By The Authority of Jesus Christ
The foundation of supernatural promotion lies in understanding and exercising the authority given to us by Jesus Christ.
When Jesus died and rose again, He not only secured salvation for mankind but also granted authority to those who believe in Him.
This authority is clearly stated in Scriptures like Matthew 28:18, where Jesus declared, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.”
As believers, we are co-heirs with Christ, and by extension, we share in this authority.
In Luke 10:19, Jesus tells His disciples, “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
This promise reveals that we have authority over spiritual opposition and life circumstances, including barriers to our promotion.
When we stand on this authority, we tap into divine resources that supersede earthly limitations.
The Power of Decreeing God’s Word
One of the most powerful tools available to us in exercising our authority is the power of declaration.
The Bible makes it clear that our words carry weight in the spiritual realm. Job 22:28 states, “Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.”
This means that when we speak God’s Word over our lives with faith, the spiritual realm aligns with our declarations, bringing the supernatural into the natural.
To receive supernatural promotion, we must first recognize that our promotion is part of God’s will for us.
Psalm 75:6-7 says, “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.”
Since God desires to elevate His children for His glory, we can confidently speak His Word concerning our promotion, knowing that we are aligning with His will.
Declaring and Establishing Your Promotion
The process of receiving supernatural promotion through decreeing the Word of God begins with understanding who you are in Christ.
Ephesians 2:6 reminds us that we have been raised up together and made to sit in heavenly places with Christ.
This signifies that we operate from a position of authority, not from a place of striving or desperation.
Begin by identifying the promises of God that align with promotion. Meditate on verses such as:
- Psalm 75:6-7 – God is the source of promotion.
- Proverbs 4:18 – “The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.”
- 1 Peter 5:6 – “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.”
Once you have meditated on these scriptures, begin to declare them over your life.
Speak them with faith and authority. For example, you can declare, “In the name of Jesus, I decree that my promotion comes from God alone. As I humble myself before Him, He is lifting me up in due time. My path is shining brighter, and the light of God’s favor is establishing me in every area of my life.”
Persistence in Faith
Receiving supernatural promotion requires persistence in faith and a refusal to be discouraged by delays or challenges.
Mark 11:23 encourages believers to speak to the mountains in their lives and command them to move, assuring us that what we say shall come to pass if we do not doubt in our hearts.
Similarly, when we decree promotion based on God’s promises, we must stand firm in faith, trusting that God is working behind the scenes to bring it to pass.
Remember that supernatural promotion doesn’t always follow the timing or methods we expect, but it is sure to manifest when we remain steadfast.
Hebrews 10:23 says, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.”
Understanding the Role of Prophets in Supernatural Promotion
In biblical times, prophets were chosen vessels through whom God communicated His will to the people.
They spoke not their own words but the words that God revealed to them, often guiding kings, nations, and individuals toward God’s plans and purposes.
Prophets were instrumental in steering the course of events by providing divine direction.
Therefore, when the people obeyed God’s prophets, they were essentially aligning themselves with the will of God. The result was often favor, victory, and prosperity, which were not just material but also spiritual and societal in nature.
The Power of Obedience
The call to obey the prophets was not just a request for passive submission but an invitation to action. To “obey” meant to trust that the words of the prophet were inspired by God and to follow through with the instructions they gave.
In the case of Jehoshaphat, the prophet Jahaziel brought a message of hope during a time of impending war, assuring them that the battle was the Lord’s, not theirs (2 Chronicles 20:15).
By believing the prophetic message and acting on it—marching to the battlefield with songs of praise—the Israelites experienced a miraculous victory without lifting a sword.
This teaches us that supernatural promotion often comes through obedience to divine instructions.
Sometimes, those instructions may seem illogical or counterintuitive (like going to battle with worship instead of weapons), but obedience to God through His prophets can unlock God’s supernatural intervention.
Obedience Leads to Prosperity
The word “prosper” in the context of 2 Chronicles 20:20 is broader than mere financial success. It includes all aspects of well-being: spiritual, emotional, relational, and material.
When you obey God’s instructions—whether through His Word, direct revelation, or prophetic utterance—you align yourself with His divine purpose and plans.
God’s plan is always for the good of His people (Jeremiah 29:11), and obedience brings you into that flow of blessings.
Supernatural promotion is not merely the result of hard work or strategic planning; it comes through divine favor, which can be accessed by listening to and obeying God’s directives.
When we submit to God’s words, often delivered by His prophets, we open ourselves to opportunities, breakthroughs, and advancements that are beyond our human capacity to achieve.
This is why humility and sensitivity to God’s leading are essential to experience supernatural promotion.
“Obey His prophets, and thou shall prosper” means that prosperity and supernatural promotion are closely tied to our ability to hear, trust, and act upon divine instructions.
The obedience required is a testament to our faith, positioning us to receive God’s blessings in every area of life.
Pharaoh’s obedience to the dreams given to him and Joseph’s interpretation is another powerful example of supernatural promotion.
In Genesis 41, Pharaoh receives two distinct but similar dreams—one about seven healthy cows being devoured by seven lean cows and another about seven full ears of grain being consumed by seven thin ears.
These dreams troubled Pharaoh, and none of his magicians or wise men could interpret them.
When Joseph was summoned from prison to interpret the dreams, his first statement was crucial:
“The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided by God, and God will do it soon” (Genesis 41:32, NIV).
This highlights a significant spiritual principle—when God repeats a message or vision, especially in dreams, it indicates urgency and certainty in His plan.
Pharaoh’s obedience to Joseph’s interpretation was pivotal for both the survival of Egypt and Joseph’s supernatural promotion.
Joseph advised Pharaoh to store food during the seven years of plenty to prepare for the seven years of famine.
Recognizing the divine wisdom in Joseph’s words, Pharaoh immediately obeyed and placed Joseph in charge of the entire operation.
This swift obedience resulted not only in Egypt’s prosperity during the famine but also in Joseph’s elevation from a prisoner to the second most powerful man in Egypt.
This story teaches us that supernatural promotion often comes through obedience to divine revelation, even when it is delivered through unexpected channels.
Joseph’s interpretation, under the guidance of God, provided Pharaoh with a strategy that not only preserved a nation but also advanced Joseph into his God-ordained destiny.
Conclusion
Supernatural promotion is a manifestation of God’s grace in our lives, where He elevates us beyond human effort and understanding.
While grace covers our weaknesses, there are practical steps to position ourselves for this divine elevation.
Humility, faith, gratitude, and obedience to God’s word are key principles that ensure we experience His supernatural promotion.
Remember, God permits what we permit. If we can believe, all things are possible.
Recognize the hindrances such as ingratitude and wrong associations, and actively engage in the steps that lead to promotion.
Ultimately, Psalm 75:6-7 reminds us that promotion comes from God, and as we align ourselves with His plan, we will walk in the fullness of His divine elevation.
Supernatural promotion is the inheritance of every believer, and it is accessed through standing on the authority of Jesus Christ.
By decreeing God’s Word and speaking His promises into existence, we align ourselves with divine favor and timing.
Our words, spoken in faith, have the power to establish God’s will in our lives.
As you stand on the authority of Christ and declare your promotion, be assured that God, who is faithful, will bring it to pass, lifting you up and shining His light on your path.
To access the blessings available from this message, you must be born again by accepting the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Invite Him into your life right now by saying this prayer:
