Key pointers to note to trigger the change of levels
- As a Christian, life must live to be progressive – It is must be an exciting adventure. Psalm 84:7

- Our God does not have stationary – he designed life to be progressive according to Exodus 14:15
- There is a connection between your preparation and destiny – what you have not prepared for can never be delivered to you. EG David, went thru preparation in the wilderness until his time for manifestation
- You don’t live your life for where you are today, but rather live your life for where you are going – Proverbs 3:5-6. Acknowledge God in all thy ways
- What you don’t see coming, never comes: Jeremiah 1:11-12: Your behavior affects what comes to you, and how you behave abut a circumstance affects what comes to you.
Forces that facilitate the change of levels
- Our spirituality – our spiritual location determines our location in life in John 15:5. Without spiritual connectivity to God, all you are doing is chasing shadows.
- Our mentality – as a man thinketh so is he in Proverbs 23:7 – Our mentality must think positivity and
- Integrity: is a catalyst for the change of levels. There is a high premium attached to integrity. When our integrity is questionable, then we will likely miss the things of Kingdom
- Maturity – Kingdom business is handed to mature Christians not children – Gal 4:1. Until you behave mature, you can’t be handed over kingdom service, despite the declarations, because you have decided to remain a baby Christian
- Responsibility – You must act responsibly to avoid the risks that come with irresponsible people – 1 Corinthians 13:11. A MATURE CHASTIAN IS A responsible individual and always willing to take responsibility despite the inconveniences and the discomfort it may bring.
- Right company/association. Your association determines your destination – In scriptures, Jonabab and Amnon influenced him to make a bad decision – Read 2 Samuel 13:3. You need to filter the relationships that we keep around us. Influence is the power to affect persons on events
Secrets to trigger change of levels
- Vision for elevation: A man is elevated according to his vision. How far you see determines how far you go in life. Whatever you don’t see you are not permitted to have it. What doesn’t cross your mind cannot cross your hand. Therefore, we need to renew our minds to change perspectives – Romans 13:2
- Realization and rejection of stagnation: Matthew 11:12 – we need a fighting spirit to change levels.
- Faithfulness – is a capital requirement for levels to change. It is very rare to find faithful men and women. There is a struggle to remain faithful to God and various aspects of life – work, business, and spouses. Therefore as Christians, purpose to be faithful. 2 Timothy 2:2. A faithful man is trusted (Proverbs 20:6) Faithfulness in kingdom service is a capital requirement.
Faithfulness can be defined as:
- reliability and dependability of character
- steadfastness and loyalty
- Acceptance of full responsibility
- Excellent delivery without external supervision
- Being found where you are meant to be at all times
- Functioning with mentality of accountability
- Stability and trustworthiness of character
