Every student in any school passes from one level to another after meeting with certain criteria. Most of the time to find out whether a student meets with such criteria or not, they are made to write tests or examinations. If the student passes the test with the desired grade, he is automatically promoted to the next level because he has fulfilled the requirements for such promotion.
We have also had few exception where exceptional students who are found to be outstandingly excellent in the current level and who are psychologically, emotionally, physically and intellectually mature to face the challenges of the next level are promoted without having to go through the traditional test or examination.
In the same way, our walk with God is progressive: gradually moving from level to level until we come to the fullness of God. Each level has its own uniqueness and sometimes comes with different requirements.
Don't be overwhelmed by the trials and addictions that comes with any phase in your life. Rather, put up a positive attitude.
As Paul rightly puts it in Romans 5:4-5
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.
And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
Happy Sunday
