How Do We Reach The Higher Level

Moving to the Next Level/how do we reach the higher level

The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. (Genesis 12:1)

God said to the children of Israel at Horeb, “You have dwelt long enough at this mountain” (Deuteronomy 1:6).

Like Israel, many of us have dwelt long on where we are now. It is high time we moved on to the next level.

• Life is all about growing, improving and moving ahead.

Staying still means life will pass you by and you’ll have to catch up. Whether it’s your career, relationships or life in general, it is about compassionately and gradually improving your position.

Man’s existence is naturally based on working towards meaning and purpose.

Everybody has different goals and different ways of pursuing them, whether it’s related to your career, relationships or life.

• God expects us to move from where we are to where we ought to be. Everybody is in a journey

• Every new level , we have to face to new devil, one thing we have which devil doesn’t have is the hand of God

I’ve also learned that anything that is worthwhile is bound to be a bitter battle.

The higher the hill upon which you plan to build your castle, the harder the climb is to reach its top...

• To reach the top, you must have your eyes and your mind focused on the same thing.

• A focused individual is one who aims well at the target and pulls his bow of opportunity to the final stretch before letting his arrow of destiny fly...

WHAT IS THE NEXT LEVEL?

• Where is the next level?

• What does the next level represent?

Next level means Significantly more advanced, better, or more extreme.

The next level may mean a higher level of calling God has for you.

The next level is a higher responsibility from God.

For Joshua, the next level represented the unconquered territories meant for the remaining nine and half of the tribes of Israel. (Joshua 13:1,2).

Two and half tribes had got their land East of the Jordan, but the rest tribes were yet to get their own land West of the Jordan. The remaining land were to be possessed by conquest.

The next level is already beckoning at us. All we need to do is move by faith to possess the next level God has for us. You already have the power for the next level in you. The Angel of God said to Gideon, “go in this might of yours.”

2 Obstacles You Need to Scale to Get to Your Next Level

#1 Put on a “Me-Second” Attitude ( BAD ATTITUDE)

Luke 22:26 But among you it will be different. Those who are the greatest among you should take the lowest rank, and the leader should be like a servant.

Jesus showed this attitude throughout his ministry and taught us to share in it (Colossians 3:12).

We are to clothe ourselves with mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, and we can do this because of Jesus’s work in our hearts.

The world tells us to put ourselves first. Everything’s about what we feel and what we want and our identity and being unique. If other people get in the way of that, it’s okay to push them aside. Christians, on the other hand, should have a “me-second” attitude.

• You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Attitude has a lot to do with our mindset and the way we think

Attitude determines our altitude

. It is easy to have a good attitude when the weather is fine. But the real test of attitude comes when the weather gets stormy. In the storm the turkeys and hens gather for shelter while the eagle flies into the storm. It positions its wings so that the wind thrusts it over the top of the storm where the sun is still shining. The storm is the same but the eagle has a whole different perspective.

We can choose to huddle with the turkeys or we can soar with the eagles. It is all a matter of attitude

Attitudes are formed from our belief system

A. If our belief system is based upon this world, then our attitude will reflect what we listen to and what we believe

Change your attitude by changing the condition of your heart

Your attitude can:

• MAKE OR BREAK YOU

• HEAL OR HURT YOU

• MAKE YOU FRIENDS OR MAKE YOU ENEMIES

• MAKE YOU HAPPY OR MAKE YOU MISERABLE

• MAKE YOU A SUCCESS OR MAKE YOU A FAILURE
