Jeremiah 1:5

How do you respond to what God says about you?

Is it hard for you to agree?

The mastery of a stage is not required to advance to the next stage.

When a person successfully completes a level he/she emerges

from the stage with the corresponding virtue or character development for that stage. They

then carry that virtue/characteristic into the next stage. When a stage is

not completed they enter into the next stage underdeveloped and carry that void into the subsequent stage..

That is why its important to allow God to develop in

you what He designed

Allow God to develop you…

To catch you up to your right level…
