We’ve come to the eighth month, August on the Gregorian calendar, and the fifth month, Av on the Hebrew calendar.  Eight is God’s number for new beginnings, and five is God’s number for grace.  God in this season is giving you the grace that’s needed and necessary to see your new promotion realized.

We are already in the eighth month but the eighth day is coming.  Look at the numerals 8/8/22.  This is a month of new beginnings with a day of new beginnings, in a year of double grace and double glory.  Hallelujah!  2022 has been prophetically and apostolically declared to be “The Year of Double Fruitfulness.  Genesis 41:51, 52 says “And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God, said he, hath made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house.  And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction”.  Joseph’s brothers threw him into a pit.  They sold him into slavery but God was with me.  Joseph ultimately ended up in prison but God was with him.  Upon Joseph’s release from prison, he became the prime minister of Egypt.  So, Joseph went from the pit, to prison, to the palace.  God was with him.  Talk about promotion!

Psalm 75:6, 7 says “For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south.  But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another”.  Promotion comes from God!  Joseph went through a severe period of testing but it all prepared him for promotion.

So, know in this season “The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.  And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them”.  Deuteronomy 28:12-13 (NKJV)

Praise God! He’s doing a new thing in this season!  Hallelujah!  Get Ready!  It’s Promotion Time!!!
