In Gen 41:38-44, from the story of Pharao and Joseph, we understand that a man cannot lift you above himself, in-fact Pharao lifted Joseph but still made his own throne higher than that of Joseph.
In Isaiah 66:1, we see how tall God is; He is so tall that His legs are long enough to stretch from Heaven down to the earth.
God Himself said “Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool”
When a man is the one lifting you, his arm will feel heavy and he will bring you down; but the hands of my Father are everlasting, when He lifts you up, He can lift you everlastingly.
How high can God lift you?
1st Sam 2:7-8 makes us understand that He can pick a beggar from the dunghill and keep lifting him until he begins to dine with Kings.
How high can God lift you?
In David’s encounter according to 1st Sam 16:1-3, even Jesse his father didn’t even expect the anointing of the kingdom to fall on David. But David woke up a Shepherd boy and ended up as a king
How high can God lift you?
Elisha’s story in 1st Kings 19:19-21 and 2nd Kings 13:14-2- tells us that God can lift you from the level of a nobody to a national celebrity. Even kings honoured him.
How high can God lift you?
Peter also had s peculiar encounter. He was a hardworking businessman but people regarded him as a total failure as seen in Luke 5:1-11.
But by the time God lifted him in Acts 5:12-16, Peter was moved from the level of a man of ridicule to a well respected celebrity such that whenever he is coming to town, the whole town lines up to welcome him because even his shadow could heal the sick.

How high can God lift you?
In Mark 5:2-20, we see the story of the hopeless mad man in the grave yard; God picked him up and he became an evangelist in the city.

In Gen 41:1-44 we see how Joseph woke up one morning in the prison and by the end of the day, he was riding in Pharaoh’s second chariot as a Prime Minister.
