FAITH CAPSULE: Continually engage God’s word for your upgrading.
Hebrews 11
WORD OF GOD IS LIKE MIRROR TO ADDRESS UPGRADING IN GOD.
Looking into the word of God as a mirror will be addressing or re-addressing one in the word of God, for one’s upgrading in God.
Upgrading takes place when one hears to see in the word of God, believing to receive will becomes of one.
Are you able to see in the word of God that you hear when you read or preached to, in the word of God?
One that is not spending time in the word of God will not be conversant with the word of God to see in the word of God and become one that is upgrading self as heard in the word of God.
Joshua’s hearing to see in the word of God was his upgrading in the Lord God as the source of having victories over his enemies. In the time of the journey of the Israelites to the promised land, Jericho attempted to deny the passage for the Israelites when God spoke victory over Jericho as stated: “And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king, and the mighty men of valor.” (Joshua 6:2) Joshua with his upgrade by walking in the word of God, he was able to see, to receive in the word of God for victory over Jericho.
OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S WORD IS UPGRADING IN THE LORD GOD
Living in this wicked world of today demands constant and consistent upgrading by seeking God. Seeking God is pleasing God. Pleasing God is obedience to God’s word continually. In a wicked world, Enoch upgraded self by walking with God; Enoch expressed a life of fellowship with God because of his growing (upgrading) in the Lord God. The Bible records about Enoch, “By faith, Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:5-6)
In this wicked world, with obedience to God’s word is upgrading in the Lord.
STANDING IN GOD’S WORLD IS UPGRADING IN THE LORD GOD
In this wicked world, Elijah lived a life of upgrading by taking a stand for God continually, against false religious leaders and kings. Elijah did not align self with wicked kings and leaders.
Are you living outside of God’s word?
Are you aligning self with wicked ones?
Elijah’s life of taking the stand in the word of God kept him upgraded in the wicked world. Elijah did not die but went up to heaven in a whirlwind. (2 Kings 2:11) Walking and standing in the word of God is impossible to become a victim of a wicked world. Remain standing to continue upgrading in the Lord God regardless of the wickedness of the world.
Prayer for today: Ask God for His hand to keep you growing in Him.
