Faith For Change of Levels.
There are dimensions to our faith in God or by which the Glory of God flows into people's lives. It can be ankle deep, knee deep...waist deep and then the overflow.
How Do You Move From Current Level To The Next One?
There are conditions to a change of level. Time doesn't change anything but the action in time that changes things.
Understand Your Redemption Status:
If you don't know who you are in God, you will die a mere man. You need to discover who God made you to be. Many people suffer identify crisis because they don't know who they are. They want to be friends with everyone whereby forgetting who they are. Your level or the standards you hold should naturally streamline your friendship circle. The knowledge of the Scriptures doesn't guarantee a great future but the actions you take with the understanding of the Scriptures guarantees a great future.
You are who God says you are. You have what God says you have. You can do what God says you can do. These three dimensions have solved identify crisis, possession issue and capacity issue simultaneously. Know what God is saying about you and accept nothing less. You are redeemed as a pace setter and a trail blazer.
Increasing Insight:
When you lose value for revelation, you stopped changing value. Revelation stirs up revolution. The more you increase in your field, the more your level changes. Increasing in knowledge helps. There are things you will know and you will stop being afraid. You are fidgetting based on the things you don't know. You don't have the problems you think you have, you only lack the understanding or the wisdom. Explanation doesn't change your level but revelation does. Stop giving excuses and start building up your knowledge in the Word and in your field. Your skin colour is not a barrier. Build your competency and watch things change for you. When you know who you are, you call the shots.
The Anointing:
In every lucrative business or field on earth, there are still poor people there. Stop living by prophecy, know God. Your level can change when you encounter the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Your skill is good but back it up with the anointing.
Dedication:
You can't be dedicated and not know. Your approach to your business goes a long way. You can pray all you want, but if you lack dedication, nothing would change. Same goes for students. Faith needs plan to be effective. The more you stay on what you are doing, the better you become. You cannot be dedicated and end up relegated. Whatever you give time to would grow. You cannot be sold out to God and not stand out. Make time for your relationship or marriage and watch things work. Dedication goes a long way if you want to stand out or do anything of worth.
If your service to God cannot be unique, satan has robbed you. The devil doesn't have power (God deprived the devil of it) but has strategy.
Haphazard Christianity makes a mockery of your salvation. Serving God dedicatedly is a key to enviable and honourable ministry. If you will not be dedicated you will never be distinguished. The provision for the next level is open to all but everyone has to make their way there. Let us deepen our fear for God in order to form a firm foundation for a glorious future.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Hahaha... Really loved your illustration about the level of faith we share.. I'll go for overflow, hehehe
Come to think of it, it is indeed true that time alone changes nothing.
It is actually what we do at those time that changes the situation.
If we keep doing nothing, time will definitely come and go without us making any meaningful progress in our life.
This was a nice thing to point out because of the misconception here in my country where you see people talk that the future will favour them even when they are not willing to make any sacrifice to bring the future they so much desire.
I really fear people who try to be friends with everyone because what it means is that you could go any length to compromise your virtues just to be in good terms with even who you know is bad.... That's quite a shame🤦
Never seen someone who trusted in the Lord, read his books and didn't succeed.
It's all a thing of dedication to whatever we do.
This was really a good piece... I would have gone further commenting but I noticed it was becoming very long.
Thanks a lot for sharing
Shey you would not have go write a whole post to talk your mind well on the topic? 😂 This is too detailed and you're saying you would have gone further.
Boss of Engagement, I hail thee lol
😂😂😂😂
The post was actually nice and got me thinking.
I only found out how long the comment is when I looked down😂
No, you couldn't look down when you were typing the fourth paragraph... It was when you want to add the seventh paragraph you looked down 🤣
Show me the way of engagement please
Not my teacher whining me 😢
😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 this one got me rolling hahahaha. Sometimes you don't know you have written that much until you scroll and see. I am like that too.
Hahahaha I know that feeling. I used to be like that too...with lengthy and detailed comment. You are doing well. Thank you.
Thanks for the compliment
🤣😂 we shared the same feeling about this. He brought a Bazooka to a pencil fight. I enjoyed his input though. Good job and good analysis.
Yeah sure, his view seem to get clearer by every paragraph and that is why I thought maybe he could give a whole write up for it 😂
I think he can and he should because he is expressive and this makes it easier to expand and make it into a real post.
😂😂🤣 Bazooka to a pencil fight. Hahaha. Let's beg him to go easy on us then. I enjoyed his words though.
🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣 you read my mind and this is exactly what I mentioned earlier hahahaha. I thoroughly enjoyed the comment.
I picked up that lesson there too. Our lack of action or action determines what we get from life. It's not time alone that changes. A lot depends on us.
Sure, much is expected from us
A lot depends on us. We need to stop being a secondary character in our life's story. We need to do what is expected of us to do.
What a comment this is and worthy of making an entire post on its own. I absolutely enjoyed your understanding of this and the ease of explanation for others to grasp. What more can I say? Thank you very much.
You're welcome
This Dara's styles add flavor to this post
She really knows how to get ready for shots
Hahahaha that girl has swag. I love seeing all about her and what she's up to with her goofy moments.
Swagalicious hahaha. She's got moves I have to admit. I love watching her and seeing her in pictures too. It's always fun.
Hahaha she's always ready for pictures and sometimes I wonder how she digs out her poses. Always interesting and funny.
We need to know who we are in God so we can learn to know what is in the wonderful package of God for us. I love how this is related to life. Without dedication, nothing can be achieved. God wants us to be devoted to things about Him. Only that way can we see and get the best of God.
God wants our dedication. It's when God sees our heart and dedication can He go overboard for us. We are to seek all things that pertains to Him first.
"Time doesn't change anything but the action in time that changes things." — this statement cut deep into me. It's what you do with your time in this fleeting Earth that actually matters.
Things will never get better as time goes by, if you remain idle. But what is work without faith? You need both to ensure full success in whatsoever you do or desire
Absolutely beautiful piece sir♥️
Work and faith goes hand in hand. We have a part to play. Sadly, many people rely on faith without taking steps. We have a part to play in life.
We have a part indeed. Faith alone isn't enough
Faith and works go hand in hand.
That's common with a lot of people who rely so much on faith without taking steps. They expect everything to happen for them with a tap of the finger.
A lot of people remain idle and expect things to get better. Just like they keep wallowing in heartbreak without picking themselves up. We have a part to play and time goes by quickly.
I think a lot of people are living life without thinking why God actually created them for. And I think it goes beyond what's seen to know what God wants from you as His creation.
Well, the Bible is there for everything pertaining to the life of Christians.
This is an insightful one from you sir, thanks for sharing with us.
The Bible is the manual but most people don't study it. That's how we know God's plan for us through His Word. The Bible is there for us as a guide and guard.
It's even more sad that our phones have taken the place of our bibles, there's only a few who go around with their bibles even when we know that the Bible in our phones is only a format to be distracted when you decide to study with it.
Most people read the phone Bible as formality. Everything is dragging us away from His presence and we are allowing these things.
It's indeed a complete manual which must be followed to the letter as a guide that God made it to be.
I am glad you enjoyed this. I am encouraged by it and deeply appreciate your contribution as well. We need to go God's way.
Very good informative post, we must find ourselves or know that we are in God, it is part of life itself, you can know the bible from head to toe but if you don't apply everything you read I think it is of little use, we must be constantly learning, reading the bible and that we give ourselves completely to God to get the good news and see his glories and wonders in all of us, another great post my friend and very good pictures, cheers ♥
Application of the Bible is what gives us result. It's like having a pencil and not sharpening it. It can't work and that doesn't mean the pencil is not good but we just didn't engage it the right way.
Exactly friend as you say, what good is having the tool if you do not know how to use it or get its full potential, the bible is like the instruction manual of the human being and the mission is to apply it in all around us, either family, friends, strangers to feel good about ourselves, hug friend, blessings ♥
Understanding and knowing the right application of it helps a lot. Thank you so much my friend. I always enjoy your comments.
And I really enjoy your posts because I learn new things that certainly enrich me more and more when doing or making something, the enjoyment is mutual friend ♥
That's right. When we don't get the most from God, it doesn't reduce the person of God but only short-changed us from the fullness we are to enjoy.
Exactly not to be prefect because the only perfect one who has ever walked the earth is Jesus Christ, but to try to be as close as possible, it is difficult but everything in this life is possible if we propose it with all our heart ♥
We need to find ourselves. That's why the Bible is a mirror...a double edged sword that shows us as we are and opens our eyes to what's possible with God.
Right, it's like that friend and I know a lot of people who only apply the bible to their convenience and I think that's a sin to apply it that way, I liked that double edged sword because it is so, we must apply it in every way and I feel that when we read the bible is God who transmits us his knowledge and helps us, as well as warns us of many things, thanks for sharing friend, happy day ♥
Hi @olawalium , I have always thought that it is faith that saves us, I believe in KARMA, life returns good and bad in the same proportion, if people think about this they would not act without thinking, when we have faith, we believe in GOD, If we believe in GOD, we try to act and speak but thought before doing it.
We can't believe in God and not act right. Our belief in God should make us want to do the right things.
Exactly. What's our faith in Him if we don't act it? It's like claiming we love and yet won't show it. Love isn't something to hide. Faith isn't something we can hide too.
Thank you very much for your kind words, you are absolutely right.
We can't believe in God and not walk in His ways. Our faith is a show of where our loyalty lies.
