1. When You Experience Increased Favor.
It is the favor of the Lord working in us that makes us outshine every other person around us.
When God’s favor is upon us, we receive the grace, strength, and ability to do things that bring us to new levels. God’s favor was upon Joseph, and for this reason, he blossomed in everything that he did.
Genesis 39:2-5 (NIV) says, “The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master.
When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant.
Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptians because of Joseph.
The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.”
When God is elevating you, you will experience increased favor in your life. Doors will open for you, and people will be drawn to you. Any moment you find favor before your boss and colleagues, just know that it is God.
It is a clear indication that God’s favor is working in you to elevate you. Joseph found favor before Potiphar, and he put him in charge of everything that he owned.
2. When You Start Getting New Opportunities.
Revelation 3:8 (NIV) – “I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.
I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.”
God opens new doors for us when He wants to elevate us. He creates new opportunities that He knows will help us grow and expand.
Some people got opportunities like scholarships, sponsorships, and other opportunities that were stepping stones to their elevation.
As the scripture in Revelation 3:8 says, no one can block an emerging opportunity that God has brought before you.
He will bring new opportunities your way; whether it is in your career, relationships, or other areas of your life. He will open new doors for you to advance to other levels of growth and development.
3. When You Experience Frequent Disappointments in Your Endeavors.
It is often said that ‘it is darkest when it is about to dawn.’ Whenever you feel like you are getting disappointed in everything that you do, believe that your elevation is around the corner.
Psalms 30:5 (NIV) – “For His anger lasts only a moment, but His favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
Your continuous disappointments may be a sign that God is just about to elevate you.
4. When your Vision Becomes Clear.
Sometimes we try so hard to do things, but we end up feeling lost or uncertain about what we want. We may put in all our effort and strength but still experience blurred vision.
However, when God wants to elevate us, we will start feeling a strong sense of direction and certainty. Our vision, goals, ambitions, and dreams will become clearer. God will reveal great things to us as we pursue our goals.
Isaiah 45:3 (NIV) – “I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who summons you by name.”
God will give you a clear vision and direction for your life that aligns with His plans and purposes. When God starts showing you things you knew nothing about, it is a sign that He is elevating you.

The case is different when God is working to elevate His people. When God is elevating you, you will experience growth and development in your personal, spiritual, and professional life.
Any small effort will have a great impact on your life and the lives of other people. Your business will flourish, the works of your hands will be blessed, and you will become more vibrant in your spiritual life.
6. When You Start Facing Rejection from Some People.
Luke 6:22-23 (NIV) – “Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil, because of the Son of Man.
“Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.”
God says we should consider it a blessing when people reject us. This is because when they do so to us on account of God, we will be elevated.
Some people are a hindrance to our growth and elevation. We have to part ways with them so that God can elevate us.
