BE ELEVATED!
Many buildings are built with several floors. There’s ground floor, mezzanine floor, second floor, last floor, top floor, roof top etc ..
So, don’t be stuck on ground floor or on mezzanine floor knowing well there are so many other floors up there.
Equally, in our spiritual awakening God offers us different measures of gifting because every believer is expected to partake of the best of life.
Today let us call these different measures of grace “floor levels.”
“…..to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness..”
Don’t be too comfortable living in unhealthy lifestyle, having a beggar’s attitude, breeding immoral principles of living, conforming to a poverty mentality or embracing ignorance!

“..to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift….for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love..”
