“Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings; he will not stand before unknown men.”
Proverbs 22:29 (NKJV)

OCTOBER 29 - As Jesus instructed His disciples to preach to the people of Israel, He realized that many would not listen to the disciples’ words—they would, conversely, persecute, harass, and hate the very ones who
brought the truth of God’s Kingdom. Deceived by the enemy, Jesus reminded the disciples to simply “shake off the dust” from those cities that would not receive them. Yet, those cities did not realize that their chance for promotion exited along with the disciples.

If we hear the principles of the Word, but do not apply them to our daily life, we deceive ourselves. We may dream of being promoted, in either our career or spiritual life, but we never see any type of promotion
arrive until we apply God’s principles to our life. We must go from conversation to demonstration in every aspect of our living. We must understand that promotion is a reward, not a right. God guarantees promotion to the person who is willing to apply the principles they learn from His Word. God’s principles, when put into

effect, work for you.

The moment you begin to embrace God’s principles is the moment you are on your way to receiving the promotion you rightly deserve.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You for the principles You established in Your Word. I commit to walk in excellence knowing that promotion soon follows. I do not only hear the Word, but I do it.

The RQ Factor - CD

Your Relationship Quotient

After observing interpersonal relationships for over three decades, Dr. Robb Thompson made a remarkable discovery that he wants to share with you: Contrary to popular belief, the outcome of your life is not determined by your intelligence (IQ), your physical appearance/abilities (PQ), or your ability to manage your emotions (EQ). Your life is determined by your ability to link yourself with those who carry your future within them – your Relationship Quotient.

Using compelling personal examples, Dr. Thompson illustrates how his own life changed for the better only when he changed his relationships. He presents profound principles that will alter the course of your future, if applied – principles such as:

• In life, you decide your relationships; then your relationships decide your destiny.
• If you want to accurately predict a man’s future, just take a look at his present friends.
• Relationships are magnetic – pulling you closer to or driving you further away from your divine destiny.

Proverbs 13:20 says, “Become wise by walking with the wise; hang out with fools and watch your life fall to pieces” (Message). Are you ready to change your future? It’s time to raise your Relationship Quotient!

“Then pharaoh said to Joseph, ‘See, I have set you over all the land Egypt.’”
Genesis 41:41 (AMP)

JULY 10 - “Please, take this as a seed for your business,” the honey-haired woman wrote on the note to her brother, tucking the antique necklace securely inside the envelope, praying for favor, a harvest, and most of
all, her younger brother. Seven Years Later: “There’s more jewelry here than most antique stores have,” the woman told her daughters, opening box after box, all colors, shapes, sizes, and styles. “Where did all
this jewelry come from?” one of the woman’s daughters questioned, intrigued by the sheer massiveness of it all. “From your uncle, my brother,” the woman pondered, finally remembering that day long ago when love, and God, told her to send one necklace to her brother, to help him succeed.

Favor is an intriguing aspect of life. It is the desire within an individual to help another succeed. Over the years of ministry, I noticed that promotion and favor go hand in hand. Coming from one who has employees, I can say that although one may get the job done, it does not guarantee them a promotion.

The missing ingredient is favor from both man and God. In the Gospel of Luke, we learn that Jesus grew in favor with both God and man. You can actually increase favor on your life. You can grow the desire in another to help you succeed. How do we increase favor on our life? The favor of God rests upon your life if you look to please God through submitting and bringing pleasure to your boss, spouse, pastor, or any authority God places in your life.

Once the favor comes, promotion is soon to follow. May the world one day hear of the promotion God brings into your life.

Father, I thank You that I am obedient to my leaders and I submit to them, continually recognizing their authority over me.

“The governors reported to the vice-regents, who made sure that everything was in order for the king. But Daniel, brimming with spirit and intelligence, so completely outclassed the other vice-regents and governors that the king decided to put him in charge of the whole kingdom.”
Daniel 6:1-3 (The Message)

JUNE 11 - Read again how The Message says in Daniel 6:3, “…Daniel…so completely out-classed the other[s]…” That’s pretty impressive. I hope the same can be said of me. Do my spirit and my attitude put me head and shoulders above others? It is erroneous to think that we can accomplish all that God has planned for us without becoming the absolute best we can be in our chosen field of endeavor. The Scriptures tell us that we are to do everything as if we were doing it for the Lord Jesus Christ. We actually contradict God’s Word when we allow ourselves to slump into mediocrity or just-good-enough performances.

Once Joseph was fully persuaded that Mary would give birth to the Messiah, he did his best as an earthly Jewish father—carefully watching over mother and Son, taking the Child to the temple, and following God through specific dreams. God demanded Joseph’s best, and His grace empowered Joseph to accomplish it. God’s life within us demands our very best, and His grace empowers us to give it!

There is no way around it; God wants our best, and that’s what will take us to the next level of:

• A place of promotion
• A sphere of influence
• A life of prosperity
• A new area of fulfillment

Make the choice to move in the right direction and embrace change in your life.

Father, I thank You for pouring out Your grace on me to help me become my absolute best in the areas to which You assigned me.

Stronger Everyday - Confession CD

Dear Ladies,

In the times we live in, the temptation for us is to become weaker in most areas of life. Pressure to compromise is coming from every direction. God’s Word encourages us to stand and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Philippians tells us to press toward God’s mark. The Proverbs 31 woman is energetic and strong. Now is not the time to grow weary in well-doing.

Our strength is from the Lord. As you listen to and confess these scriptures you will be empowered with strength and able to face the pressures that come your way.

My prayer is that you grow STRONGER EVERY DAY.

Enjoy,
Linda Thompson

“Bondservants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in sincerity of heart, fearing God.”
Colossians 3:22 (NKJV)

MAY 28 - What is God’s will for us in the workplace? Have you yet realized that He wants you to clearly understand the way His Kingdom works within a structure of authority? After that, God wants you to eagerly pursue pleasing the authority over you in the workplace. He wants a smile to come to that person’s face every time he or she thinks of you.

At the time of Jesus’ birth, Caesar Augustus was in power. The term “Augustus” means revered, a title that the Romans previously used only for their gods. Without a doubt, all the citizens of the empire deeply respected their ruler, soldiers, masters, and superiors.

Are you criticized when you try to please your superiors? Yes, you often are. However, you are only criticized by the people who have stopped their forward progress. In time, you will grow out of those critical relationships if you are willing to endure it. You can look forward to being celebrated in time to come by those who are interested in your promotion.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I look to please those who can bring Your promotion into my life. I thank You that You make me sensitive to their needs, wants, and desires.

“Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.”
Proverbs 21:5 (NLT)

MARCH 9 - In my own life, I had to come to grips with the fact that I must earn any promotion I desire. In America, it is easy to believe we should be rewarded for simply showing up. Many believe you should receive a bonus for being employed through the end of December. God shows us throughout His Word that He desires for us to be promoted. God is our employer, and that is why the apostle Paul encourages us to “work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”

The modern state of Israel was born in 1948, but it is based upon four thousand years of history and tradition. When Jews around the world learned of their nation’s birth, each one was spiritually promoted.
God finally brought them back to their ancient land, and it is the same God who promotes us.

Any promotion that we receive unethically or through cutting corners will be taken away from us. However, if we earn a promotion through hard work and faithfulness, there is no level we will not attain, either at our workplace or in our spiritual walk. Begin today to earn the promotion you desire. A promotion is not a miracle God grants us apart from our earning it. God promotes anybody who is productive and happy. Heaven watches just waiting, as it did over the Jews, for a reason to promote those who willingly apply God’s Word.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I am diligent all the days of my life. I refuse to expect promotion for which I do not work. I choose to work hard and cheerfully at whatever I do.

“Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and the Master you are serving is Christ.”
Colossians 3:23-24 (NLT)

FEBRUARY 20 - God’s holy name is thrown around quite carelessly these days. But did you know the ancient scribe was required to recite a prayer before ever placing ink upon the papyrus whenever using the Holy One’s name? And if three or more errors were found on a single page, the entire scroll became unusable, the entire transcription needing to be written anew. But scribes who proved exact and cautiously exceeded all others were rewarded by promotion. Senior scribes were often assigned to their own quarters in the palace or temple, adorned in fine garments, and sought out with high regard. This is a principle about being everything you can be—not about competing with those around you. Nevertheless, you are evaluated by your superiors relative to the performance of your co-workers.

You must exceed the requirements of those around you—not because you want to look better, but because you represent the King of kings who lives and abides in you. Our King demands the highest quality work so others may see your example and give glory to God.

We must stand head and shoulders above the rest. We can’t merely stop our efforts when we reach a position that exceeds our current surroundings; we must rise to the absolute highest level possible then stand in faith that God will bring promotion to us. Consistently striving for excellence (as did those senior scribes), coupled with patience and a great attitude, can only bring increase to our life.

Daily Confession

Father, I thank You that I have the privilege of being called by Your name. I work hard and cheerfully at whatever I do as though working for You rather than people.

“And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.”
Matthew 5:41 (NKJV)

JANUARY 31 - Having been so infuriated by his people being forever pushed around by foreign thugs, a Hebrew priest named Mattathias finally decided to go beyond limitations. Walking up to the city’s Greek altar, Mattathias smashed it into pieces, starting a twenty-four year conflict. After winning Jerusalem, the first thing they did was toss away every object of Greek idolatry from the temple, and gave back the holy site to God’s people. This victory is known today as the Feast of Hanukkah.

You must do more than what is expected of you. You may think you are busy, but you must realize that everyone is busy, not just you. There are never-ending opportunities available to a person who is willing to go beyond the confines of their Positions Results Description. Taking on extra work by your own initiative shows your superiors that you are determined to succeed. Chances are your company aspires to expand. If you can add fuel to that fire, in time, you will be rewarded.

We all have things that are required of us: work duties, domestic chores, legal obligations, social expectations, and spiritual requirements. Many people stop and never discover what it means to be pleasing. You cannot please your employer by doing only what he pays you to do. You only bring pleasure by doing more than your salary requires. Our promotion in life cannot come by simply fulfilling our current requirements. The pure, refreshing water of promotion only flows when we discover what is desired of us. Mattathias went above and beyond his priestly duties. It takes concentrated effort, but the reward is well worth going the “extra mile.”

Father, I thank You that I go above and beyond what is required of me.

Shattered Dreams - Book

If you’re like most people, you have several unfulfilled dreams lying dusty and neglected in some forgotten corner of your life. Some of those dreams may even seem shattered beyond hope or repair. Perhaps your dreams were crushed by an unexpected crisis or the negative words of people close to you. Or maybe you’ve just let the everyday obstacles and challenges of life discourage you to the point of giving up — and now, you feel more like a victim than a victor.

No matter what “dream-destroyer” has shoved your dreams to the sidelines, author Robb Thompson wants to help you see those dreams restored and realized at last. In his book, Shattered Dreams, Dr. Thompson presents scriptural guidelines that, if followed, will catapult your dreams out of that dusty, forgotten corner of neglect and into the spotlight of fulfillment and success.

Dr. Thompson’s message is clear: Nothing or no one (except you) can keep you from living the life of greatness in God about which you’ve always dreamed. Are you ready to dust off your dreams? You are well able to overcome the “dream-destroyers!”
