“Our Spiritual foundation and Morals should not change based on our location or where we are elevated to in life.”
~ Chanelle A. Watson

Many times in life we want increase whether it is an increase monetarily, Spiritually, in business, etc. We want to be elevated to a level beyond where we currently are, we want the best because we deserve the best, right? We want monetary increase because if we had all the money we felt we needed most, if not all, of our problems would begin to decrease. We want the Spiritual increase because we see how God is moving in the lives of others and we want what they received. We want a whole bunch of clients for our business because with more clients that is more income, there is more people we reach, there is more…

We are all guilty of wanting more, at least I know I am. But with wanting more, with wanting to be elevated to our next level we first have to stop and ask ourselves two things 1) Am I ready for my next level and 2) If I were at my next level, would I allow my Spiritual foundation and morals to be altered by my environment?

Depending on the answer to these two questions, that can be the reason why we have not elevated to our next level. Our next level requires a capacity of work, endurance, strength, and commitment that we have to be prepared for in order to do the work that comes with the increase. Through every step and stage of our life God is preparing us for our next level with tests, trials, victories, moments of waiting, moments to surrender to Him and His will over our life, moments to help someone else get through what we have been delivered from; everything is to prepare us for our next level. Sometimes we are the ones who rush our process. But we must remember that God is not going to elevate us until we are ready. God is not going to elevate us until WE SHOW Him we are ready to be elevated and will still STAY TRUE to Him and His Word. This is in part why we have to go through our journeys of preparation. So we are ready, able, and steadfast in our morals and continually growing in God, so our Spiritual foundation and morals are strong and on solid ground.

Today, I encourage you and myself to answer these two questions 1) Am I ready for my next level, and 2) If I were at my next level, would I allow my Spiritual foundation and morals to be altered by my environment? Being honest with ourselves is key because that will help us begin to make the adjustments we need to get ready and stay ready for our next level.

If we determine we are not ready, then we need to find out why? What is delaying us? Are we delaying ourselves? If our Spiritual foundation and morals were to be easily altered if we were elevated, why? Do we need to continue to strengthen our foundation in God, our Father? Is our foundation in Him or in the world?

Today is a day to self reflect because reflection can produce a desire to change and the desire to change produces action. Our next level is in our reach, let’s make sure our foundation is solid.

Until next week, KEEP GOING and STAY ENCOURAGED because your VICTORY is already WON!
