Divine lifting for the righteous. New.

Divine lifting for the righteous.

Proverbs  14:34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

What is the meaning of the nation?

1 Peter  2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

The nation means you as a person.

Beloved Brethren, God wants to exalt you, beyond your widest dreams. 

However, you must be a righteous person. God is righteous and He loves righteousness.

Psalms  11:7 For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright.

Our Lord Jesus Christ,Joseph, David,. Daniel, Esther, Peter, Paul etc.

Our Lord Jesus Christ is righteous.

Hebrews  1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.  1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

1 John  2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

Promotion and exaltation are from God.

Psalms  75:6 For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.  75:7 But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

Remember, He brought down king Saul and replaced him with David.

1 Samuel  13:11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines gathered themselves together at Michmash;  13:12 Therefore said I, The Philistines will come down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not made supplication unto the LORD: I forced myself therefore, and offered a burnt offering.  13:13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly: thou hast not kept the commandment of the LORD thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would the LORD have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.  13:14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the LORD hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the LORD hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the LORD commanded thee.

Acts  13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

Remember, He brought down queen Vasti and replaced her with Esther.

Esther  2:17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

However, true promotion that guarantees, blissful eternity is hinged on biblical righteousness.  Listen again.

Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.  2:20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his:  2:21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:  2:22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him.  2:23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter.  2:27 Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;  2:28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days.
