When you quit serving the Lord, you cease to be on His payroll, and there will be no further promotions for you.

Do you have to be a prophet, apostle, teacher, pastor or evangelist before you can serve God? No! You can serve God in prayers for the expansion of His kingdom on earth and for His will to be done on earth.

In return, God will bless you with great ideas, amazing job opportunities, healings to your body, children, success, business and financial breakthrough, promotions in your place of work, excellence in career, etc.
One thing is sure, God pays very well. When you serve Him with your little hand, He rewards you with His large hand. Truly, you can never out give God. He created the heavens and earth and everything within them, so He lacks nothing; rather, every instruction from God is for our profiting.

He enjoyed total health (Deuteronomy 34:7) and died a great man never to be forgotten on earth.
Furthermore, Jesus served the Father absolutely and God powerfully promoted Him, such that at His name every knee bows down and every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord.
