Being Promoted Beyond Your Ability……..


Being Promoted Beyond Your Ability……..

Have you ever done a job so well that you were promoted outside your skill set? The exceptional salesman gets promoted to manager and fails as a manager. The secretary gets promoted to office manager but fails for lack of management skills. Understanding your Gods power will enable you to know when you are moving in a direction away from that which God has intended for your life. I have seen this principle happen a lot over the years. There is a paradox between these two concepts that cannot be ignored. Sometimes God will place you in situations in which you have no natural gifting. In these cases, God puts you there to experience His power in order to accomplish your tasks. God sometimes moves us beyond our natural gifting and allows us operate in a place where our natural gifts do not fit the job. Other times He is teaching us to acquire a new skill set for the given situation.

 

Promise for the Day:  "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'" (2Cor 12:9).
