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: <strong><em>&#8220;And the Lord said to Joshua: \u201cSee!

Seeking God is pleasing God. Pleasing God is obedience to God\u2019s 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, <strong><em>\u201cBy faith, Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, \u201cand was not found, because God had taken him\u201d; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.\u00a0 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.\u201d (Hebrews 11:5-6)<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong>In this wicked world, with obedience to God\u2019s word is upgrading in the Lord.<br \/>\nSTANDING IN GOD&#8217;S WORLD IS UPGRADING IN THE LORD GOD<br \/>\nIn 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.<br \/>\nAre you living outside of God\u2019s word?<br \/>\nAre you aligning self with wicked ones?<br \/>\nElijah\u2019s 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. <strong><em>(2 Kings 2:11)<\/em><\/strong> Walking and standing in the word of God is impossible to become a victim of a wicked world.
