The Next Level! (1 of 5)
For some students, one of their unwelcome experiences in school is test taking.
Based on how intently students pay attention and participate will determine if they pass or fail the tests
From observing their students, instructors know which students will ace their tests and those who will not.
Nevertheless, they do not hesitate to test their students, for although some students will not pass, others will pass.
Being tested allows them to display what they have learned and position them to graduate to their "Next Level".
The same principle is true in our spiritual journey.
Our residential personal coach, the indwelling "Holy Spirit", prepares us to ace our times of testing.
This is so that we might move to our "Next Level" and that both others and we will witness just how much we have grown in that area.

Since Daddy-God desires us to pass each test, He does not allow testing in areas where the ability to pass is not possible.
Daddy God certainly did not bring us this far to lose us now, which is why He monitors our lives very closely.
As He did regarding Job, the Lord God will even cause attention to us by tempting Satan to test us to position us to move into our "Next Level".
Job 1:8-Then the Lord asked Satan, "Have you noticed my servant Job?"
12"All right, you may test him," the Lord said to Satan.
Job received four horrific and heart-wrenching reports of how he had lost much; his children and his material assets.
Even though Job expressed his natural grief, he did not curse God as Satan had predicted, but rather eventually fell down and worshiped the Lord. (v. 20)
God's confident in His servant's faithfulness had allowed Job to be attacked. (Pulpit Comm.)
|
Job 2:3 NLT-Then the LORD asked Satan, "Have you noticed my servant Job?
6- "All right, do with him as you please," the LORD said to Satan. "But spare his life."
Job's testing continues and escalates in chapter 2, where Satan attacks Job's body.
Satan could not disturb Job's mind and deprive him of his senses and of the exercise of his rational powers, which through the influence of Satan men have lost Mark 5:4.
Neither Job's spiritual life ...Job's life had to be spared for he still needed to glorify God in his afflictions, exercise his faith, hope, love, patience, humility, submission, and submission of his will to God.
Also, because of the glory which Daddy-God was going to display in Job's life due to Job's faithfulness in overcoming the testing of Satan, God would not allow Job's life to be taken.
|
Thus, Job was preserved to enjoy his latter life.
Job had to be around to experience Job 42:10b-the Lord restored his fortunes.
In fact, the Lord gave him twice as much as before!
Just as Daddy-God allows others to witness our time of testing, He also allows them to witness our glory.
It did not occur all at once -for many of these blessings were bestowed gradually.
Nor are we to understand it in every respect literally - for he had the same number of sons and daughters as before (Barnes).
"Double" may denote abundance, a large measure of good things; (Gill).
Whatever specifically doubled, we witness Job moving to his "Next Level".
So, just as we are personally encouraged to be faithful to God, because of our lives, others will be challenged to do so also.
|
Daddy-God rewards those who diligently seek and serve Him; those who elect to love Him-no matter what!
The glory both on earth and in eternity, which was to be revealed in Job's life, was going to override ALL of the sorrow, which He experienced.
Besides, his appointed time was not come, having many more years to live in the world. (Gill)
What we have learned will be tested to move us to our Next Level of Christian maturity, ministry and blessings.
Whatever happens, God is still there.
He is still in control and He always cares for us (1 Pet. 5:7).
He may not necessarily remove the difficulties that we face.
However, He will bless us as we have need and finally glorify us, promising that if we remain faithful until death we shall receive the crown of life (Rev. 2:10). (Walker)

Thank you. I really needed those nuggets this morning. Q M
Thanks Dr. Lewis
This was right on time. Incidentally, My job is tripping.
I'm in prayer - as always - and believing God.
But what they did was wrong and I have to admit - it did mess with my spirit....but I didn't respond or react outwardly. I will keep in prayer - and believing God. I L U . KW

Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself, and then do what is necessary to make it a reality. Ralph Marston
To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.
Michael Jordan
Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy.

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. Albert Einstein
