If you think you're above others, and you already feel as though you're elevated to a high level, then when you finally are exalted you'll feel entitled to exaltation. This is dangerous. Because expecting promotion, elevation and exaltation because you feel you deserve it, is pride. And that's the opposite of what GOD looks for in HIS children. 

"…God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble." ~ James 4:6. 

"For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith." ~ Romans 12:3. 

"Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits." ~ Romans 12:16.
