FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> What are you doing for self-upgrading in the Lord God?<\/p>\n

Matthew 6<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Another word for “upgrade” is: improve, raise, make better or elevate. The word upgrade speaks to every acclaimed believer of God to continually raise self and not become a victim of this wicked world.
\nAre you a man with understanding that there is a need for upgrading self in the word of God to be able to withstand continual wickedness of this world?
\nEvery man should respond to continual wickedness of this world, not to become a victim demands self-upgrading in the Lord God continually.
\nThe word of God testifies to the wickedness of this world: “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every intent[d] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. ” (Genesis 6:5-6)
\n<\/em><\/strong>If the car manufacturers are upgrading car for buyers constantly, it speaks out responsible for the upgrading of all man continually in the Lord God.
\nAlso, If the homeowners continually give their house upgrading with the renovation, if the computer engineers invest continually to upgrading computers are you upgrading self in the Lord God?
\nAll believer should know and understand that if the devil is in the business of upgrading his cunning devices, then all man should desire and be exposed to constant self-upgrade in the word of God.
\nGiving self to upgrading in the Lord God demands:
\nPrayer and ministry of the word of God.
\nApostle Paul’s admonished as stated, “we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.\u201d (Acts 6:4)
\n<\/em><\/strong>Praying without the ministry of the word is not enough to upgrade any believer. Every believer should give self to the word of God if there is a desire for self’s upgrading. Prayer will draw man to grow in the Lord God. Prayer is what Jesus called for when He said, “when you pray” (Matthew 6:5-7)<\/em><\/strong> The calling for prayer as a must is among ways to be continually upgraded in the Lord God.
\nTo search or study in God\u2019s word will upgrade one before God.
\nOne that is searching or studying in the word of God will be upgrading self continually in the Lord God. The book of Ecclesiastes 1:13<\/em><\/strong> speaks to the importance of searching for self\u2019s upgrading: “And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be [a]exercised.”
\n<\/em><\/strong>A man that is studying in the word of God is upgrading self in God to become approved to God as buttressed in 2 Timothy 2:15<\/em><\/strong> as stated: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
\n<\/em><\/strong>There is nothing like giving self to studying the word of God for self-upgrading in the Lord God.
\nWhat are you doing for self-upgrading in the Lord God?<\/p>\n

Prayer for today:<\/strong> Ask God for the opening of your ears to hear in His word and become for Him.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
