FEBRUARY, MY MONTH OF DIVINE ADVANCEMENT

SCRIPTURE : 

"... [It is] the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron ... " (1 Samuel 12:6)

I. WHAT IS ADVANCEMENT?

Advancement is the act of advancing. 

It is the state of being advanced. 

It is progression. 

It is improvement or progression, physically, mentally, morally, or socially. 

It is furtherance. 

It is promotion to a higher rank, place or dignity. 

It is moving from one level to another.

Advancement can also be understood as the fact of moving forward or upward.

It is the act or process of growing or causing something to grow or become larger or more advanced.

II. WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT ADVANCEMENT?

1) ADVANCEMENT IS THE LORD'S DOING

From Scriptures, it is established that advancement is not a product of human strength or skill but the Lord's doing.  

We can get in the right environment, and we can apply ourselves, but growth, especially spiritual growth, it’s not automatic but it is supernatural.  It doesn’t just happen.  There are no magic pills. You can’t make it happen. You can just position yourself where God can do it.  It’s not automatic.  My experience is it is very difficult.

1 Samuel 12:6 "... [It is] the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron ..." 

Psalms 75:6-7 "Promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another. 

Luke 5:4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught. 

1 Corinthians 3:6 "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." 

2) ADVANCEMENT IS AN EVER GROWING PROCESS

From Scriptures, divine progress or divine advancement is to be a continuous, continual and unstoppable process culminating to the full manifestation of the perfect will of God.

Proverbs 4:18 "The path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day." 

3) ADVANCEMENT IS NOT OPTIONAL BUT THE WILL OF GOD AND A DIVINE COMMAND.

Life is dynamic, it is not static.  You are either growing or dying. It’s true physically, it’s true intellectually, it’s true relationally, it’s true spiritually. It's true financially. It's true everywhere.

All living things are either growing and increasing toward maturity, or they are deteriorating toward decay and death. There is no middle ground. The myth in life is that we think there is.  When we think the status quo is where we are, we’re just sliding backwards without knowing it.

Exodus 14:15 And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto the children of Israel, that they go forward:

Deuteronomy 1:6 The Lord our God said to us in Horeb, You have been long enough in this mountain: 7 Make a move now, and go ... 

PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS AND BLESSINGS FOR THE MONTH

IN THIS NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ADVANCEMENT, GOD IS TELLING SOMEBODY :

• You have been long enough stagnated in this mountain (of joblesness, of grudge, of financial struggles, of homelessness, of unsettlement, of poverty, of drunkeness, of immorality, ...). MAKE A MOVE NOW AND GO ...

• You have tried long enough by your own will and your own ways to advance, to change level, to improve, to promote your life but you have failed.  IT IS TIME TO TAKE INSTRUCTION FROM GOD TO LAUNCH OUT INTO THE DEEP AND SUCCEED WHERE YOU HAVE FAILED BEFORE. 

• You have long enough settled for less with the same people, IT IS TIME TO BREAK THE CYCLE AND MOVE TO HIGHER RANK.

• ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. IT IS YOUR SEASON TO BREAK DOWN AND PULL DOWN EVERY LIMITATION (spiritual, emotionnal, physical, financial, traditional ...) TO SETTLE YOUR ALL ROUND ADVANCEMENT
