7 Days of Miracle PrayerSample

Pray for Promotion

On Day 4 of our miracle prayer journey, we are praying for promotion. Our Scripture verse for today is Psalm 75:6-7:

“For exaltation comes neither from the east nor from the west nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one, and exalts another” (Psalm 75:6-7).

Before you pray through this Scripture today, ask yourself this:

This passage from Psalm 75 says that exaltation (promotion) does not come from the east, the west, or the south. However, it doesn’t mention the north. Why is that?

Well, if you put the pieces together, Scripture explains itself. Psalm 75 doesn't mention the north because God sits “in the sides of the north” according to Psalm 48:2 and Isaiah 14:13; “the sides of the north” is His dwelling place. So, promotion does in fact come from the north, since it comes from God; and the north is where God sits.

Promotion comes only from God, and that’s good news for us today.

Since promotion comes only from God, God can promote you anytime He knows you’re ready. He doesn’t have to wait for any humans to agree with Him. Your promotion is in God’s hands, and in God’s hands alone. Hallelujah!

So pray for promotion as follows:

• Thank God that He sees you and knows you. Thank Him that He alone sees and understands your heart.
• Praise Him for the fact that all promotion and increase comes from Him!
• Ask Father God to search your heart by His Spirit. Ask Him to get everything out of you that isn’t just like Him, so that you can qualify for promotion.
• Ask Him to shape your heart and form your character, making you just like Him.
• Ask Him to change your heart; to take away your stony heart and give you His heart; and to take away your old spirit and give you His Spirit.
• Ask Him to make you promotable in His opinion, which is the only opinion that matters!
• Ask Him to promote you at the right time into the next level of opportunity, influence, and blessing that He has for you.
• Thank Him that He doesn’t have to get anybody else on board when He is ready to promote you. He doesn’t need the help of all the people who have overlooked you or forgotten you. He can promote you all by Himself.
• Thank Him and praise Him for His promotion that He is bringing you.
• Thank Him for promoting you only in His perfect time, when He knows you are ready; for promoting you too soon would hurt you, not help you.
• Thank Him that His eye is on the sparrow, and He most definitely is watching over you and perfecting ALL things that concern you!

Beloved, you can commit yourself and your promotion into the hands of your Father today.

Promotion can only come from Him anyway. When you look to man for promotion, you’ll be nothing but disappointed. But if you look to God, trusting Him to judge every situation fairly and promote you into whatever He knows is best, THEN you will be blessed.
