7 KEYS TO ENFORCING ADVANCEMENT

T The word Enforce means: to make something happen. Advancement on the other hand means: the act of being raised to a higher rank or position. There is no advancement without a cause. In life, being on the same spot for a very long time makes life boring. There is a craving in everyone to move from one level to another, especially, higher levels. God told the children of Israel, “Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount” – Deut.1:6. Even God is not happy when His people are not advancing. One can provoke advancement by applying the keys below:
1.       Believe God – 2Kings 6:26-27; “And he said, if the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? Out of the barn floor or out of the winepress”? There comes a time when we might have tried all we could to move from where are, but couldn’t. It takes strong confidence in God to move from that level to where we aspire to be. 2kings 6:31; 2Chr.20:20
2.       Believe your prophet – 2Kings 7:2; 2Chr.20:20, one of the instruments of advancement is the prophetic. That’s why one needs to leverage on the prophetic word from his pastor by believing in it to enforce advancement.
3.       Be tired of where you are – 2Kings 7:3, until you are tired of where you are, you won’t be able to challenge yourself to move forward.
4.       Be angry – 2Kings 6:31. Anger is an energy. It’s a blessing from God. That’s why you shouldn’t wonder when the scripture says, “Be ye angry, and sin not – Eph.4:26. Take advantage of your it instead of allowing anger to take advantage of you. Let your anger move you to do something that will better your life.
5.       Think: Your quest for advancement should bring you to the point where you give quality time to thinking. What will take you to the next level is already in you. But if you can’t think, you may not discover it. It shouldn’t surprise you to hear that the decision by the four leprous men to leave where they were might have originated from the mind of one them.
6.       Make decision – Thinking should bring us to the point where we make decision. We shouldn’t just think. We should make decision out of thinking.
7.       Take action – “Now therefore come let us fall unto the host of the Syrians”. Action is what brings result.
