Spiritual Laws Of ProgressionMuestra

The fifth law of progression: To Progress We Need To Stay Ahead Of The Pack In the passage above we see a demonstration of this law. The King of Egypt has a dream that disturbs him and he gathers all the wise men and the magicians of the land to explain it to him. While none could do so, Joseph, a prisoner at the time, interprets the dream to perfection. He could have been satisfied with this because this was all that was required of him. But Joseph goes one step further and provides counsel to the king on how to deal with the kind of future the dream implied. Joseph was a prisoner in a foreign land. In the king’s court, there were men who were more learned and more experienced than he in counsel. But this did not stop him. He seized the moment and by doing so, was appointed the Prime Minister of the land. Unless we make an effort with God’s guidance to stay ahead of the pack, progressing is difficult. Staying ahead of the pack involves - Taking initiative - Using the gifts and talents God has blessed us with - Taking risks - Seizing God-given opportunities - Being proactive - Obeying God without reservations - Sharpening our knowledge and skills - Choosing to stay ahead stay ahead of the pack
