How to move to the next level
“…Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things…” (Matt. 25:23 KJV)
Want to move ahead to a greater level in your life? Here is the answer, “be good and faithful” with what little you already have!
Think about the logic of this from a parent’s standpoint
If you have a child who does not take care of his room, would you put him in charge of taking care is your whole house? No, you would not! In the same way, if you are the owner of a large corporation, would you promote someone into a higher position within your company if they were not first good and faithful at the lower position they already possess within your business? No, you would not! And God is saying exactly the same thing in this promise about the “good and faithful” servant chosen for increase.
Here is how to take advantage of this powerful promise.
Be good and faithful with what you already have in your hands, at home, at work, at school, in your marriage, in your people relationships, (whatever!); and then you will be increased to a higher level in it!
Therefore…
