The Next Level

Source
A tree can make a difference in a forest.

To move to the next level;
1. You need to be unsatisfied with where you are at the moment
2. You need to have a sense that there are more things to be conquered
3. You need to have a 'keep trying over and over again' attitude.

Luke 5.5;
And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

1 Chr. 12.32;
And of the Children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hunded; and all their bethren were at their commandment.
People who are never tired of achieveing always move to the next level

Characteristics of people who move to the next level;
1. They know God in terms of understanding and being used to Him fully

Joshua 14.14;
Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel.

Dan 11.32b;
But the people that know their God shall be strong and do exploits.

2. Be able to submit to service and mentorship

Romans 13.1-2;
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God; the powers that are ordained of God.
Whosoever therefre resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God; and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Numbers 12.1-10
1 Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married, for he had married a Cushite woman. 2 And they said, “Has the LORD indeed spoken only through Moses? Has he not spoken through us also?” And the LORD heard it. 3 Now the man Moses was very meek, more than all people who were on the face of the earth. 4 And suddenly the LORD said to Moses and to Aaron and Miriam, “Come out, you three, to the tent of meeting.” And the three of them came out. 5 And the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the entrance of the tent and called Aaron and Miriam, and they both came forward. 6 And he said, “Hear my words: If there is a prophet among you, I the LORD make myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream. 7 Not so with my servant Moses. He is faithful in all my house. 8 With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in riddles, and he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?” 9 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them, and he departed.
10 When the cloud removed from over the tent, behold, Miriam was leprous,[a] like snow. And Aaron turned toward Miriam, and behold, she was leprous.

3. You must be a man of good report.

Prov 13.3;
He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life; but he that openenth his lips shall have destruction.

4. You must not be in a hurry to move to the next level

Prov 29.20;
Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.

Have a great week ahead

Best Wishes
