Each and everyone of us start from the same beginning. We all experience growth as we develop mentally and physically.
We learn to crawl before we learn to walk or run. Individuals interested in becoming a doctor, must obtain a medical education. They cannot just show up at a hospital ready to work.
The Benefits
We all go through seasons of growth. These seasons prepare us for the purpose and plan God has for our lives. Even with all the wonderful attributes that make us unique, we still must experience our seasons.
This is our time of preparation, correction, encouragement, knowledge increase and skill development.
T.D. Jakes preached for 10 years to about 200 people and it appeared as if there was not much growth (congregation). However the growth was happening on the inside of Bishop Jakes, preparing him for his next season which would occur at a different time and in a different place.
Enjoy your seasons of change. They are preparing you for your next level!
