UPGRADE YOU LIFE WITH THE WORD!
UPGRADE YOU LIFE WITH THE WORD!
For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper that any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and sprit, and of the faints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thought and intents of the heart {Hebrews 4:12}.
All over the world. People upgrade their wardrobes, cars and even their homes. It’s natural for us to want something better; something more comfortable, faster and more advanced that whatever we’ve hitherto had or been used to. But a lot of folks don’t know that they can upgrade their lives with the Word of God as they do their personal effects.
God’s Word is the only ingredient that can upgrade a person’s life on all three levels-spirit, soul and body.
Firstly, the Word of God goes into your spirit with the power to make you what it talks about. When your spirit is upgraded this way, it will affect your tongue, causing you to speak in line with the Word and consequently chart the course of your life in the direction of God’s will.
The Word of God can also upgrade your way of thinking as the Bible says in Romans 12:2: “…Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…”And then of course , the Word of God can upgrade your physical body: “My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings… for they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh” {Proverb 4:18}. The word “health” is from the Greek Word “marpe” which means medicine, showing that God’s Word will immunize you against sickness and infirmity.
Make a personal decision to upgrade your life everyday with the Word of God. You’ve probably done it for other things that you own, but you’re greater that your possessions. The upgrading of your life ought to take the preeminence, for that will cause every other thing about your life to surely move upward and forward. Your life would truly be an unending stream of success and progress.
CONFESSION
The word of God is working in me, producing what it talks about and propelling me from one level of greatness to another. Through the Word, I’m moving from glory to glory and making progress in every areas of my life. My profiting is appearing to all, and I’m manifesting the virtues of the divine life as the Word of God pilots me in the upward-and-forward direction. In Jesus Name. Amen.

STEP SIX
ReplyDeleteWere entirely ready to have God remove these defects of character.
Romans 6:11-14 (N.I.V.)
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer parts of your body to sin, as instruments of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God, as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer the parts of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
In step six we ask God to remove our defects of character. In order for him to do so we must die to our old ways and ideas. In these verses’ Paul suggests that we count ourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus! This is the present tense indicating a necessity to keep up the process if we are to avoid reactivating the body of sin. Dead to sin and self, yet alive to God, in Christ Jesus! We must give no more response to sin than the dead can give and all the potential that redeemed life affords should be channeled toward God! It is worthy of attention that Christians are said to be under
grace. Usually grace indicates a principle of divine operation or a moving out in kindness and love to lift the sinful person to God. Here it appears as a disciplinary power in line with the Apostle’s effort to show that grace is not license. Paul reminds us (Titus 2:11-12) that God’s grace has appeared for the salvation of all, training us to live sober, upright, and godly lives. May the Lord make his face to shine on you and give you peace!
AMEN! Thank you very much, I completely agree with you. I wish to know you better... have a nice time with the father.
