Upgrade Your Life: Pastor Chris by Joagbaje(m): 4:14am On Aug 21, 2013 |
. . , And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified (Acts 20:32). At certain times, we feel obliged to upgrade our equipment and devices, such as cars, computers, phones, and electronics or even our wardrobe, furniture, or the entire house. While this is commendable, we ought also to give greater attention to upgrading our lives. This is possible through the application of God’s Word. The Word of God has been given to us to transform and renew our minds, and upgrade our lives from glory to glory. Give more attention to the Word. Study, and meditate on the scriptures. Proverbs 4:20 says, "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings." It doesn’t matter what state you’re in right now, if you’d give yourself wholly to the Word, it’ll upgrade you spiritually, mentally, financially and physically; your whole life will be improved! The Word of God is a life- builder; you can confidently entrust your life to the Word; it’ll build you up, deliver your inheritance to you, and catapult you from one level of victory and success to another level. 2 Corinthians 3:18 tells us, "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." The word "changed" above doesn’t mean changing from bad to good; it’s from the Greek word "metamorphoo"; and it means "metamophorsis"; a transformation—from one level of glory to another! This happens through study and meditation on the Word 4 Likes 1 Share |

FOLYKAZE: Yet there is nothing like upgrading in the bible......shebi na that curled hair pastor? Mtchewwww. Thief-wagon Joshua 13v1 English Standard Version Now Joshua was old and advanced in years, and the LORD said to him, “You are old and advanced in years, and there remains yet very much land to possess. Isaiah 54v2 New Living Translation "Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense! Deut 1v6-8 6 “When we were at Mount Sinai, the LORD our God said to us, ‘You have stayed at this mountain long enough. 7 It is time to break camp and move on. Go to the hill country of the Amorites and to all the neighboring regions—the Jordan Valley, the hill country, the western foothills, [d] the Negev, and the coastal plain. Go to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, and all the way to the great Euphrates River. 8 Look, I am giving all this land to you! Go in and occupy it, for it is the land the LORD swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to all their descendants.’” Ans so much more...this sure looks like God wants us to upgrade always, from good to better or from better to best. If you don't wanna upgrade, fine. Leave those who want to. Tnx for stopping by anyway 1 Like |

Gombs: In all of those scriptures quoted, God was talking to CHRISTIANS? Please tell us what that means to CHRISTIANS. Christians are to be busy, understanding their own covenant not what was said to Joshua. In Christ, we have a surpassing heritage that Joshua and the rest of them. |

Goshen360: You ought to know that in Romans, Paul was mainly talking to Jews who believed. Romans 2:23 Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? Romans 2:24 For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. Shalom |

Goshen360:What's the essence of learning if you're not gonna apply what you learned? Believe me there are more Red Seas and River Jordans for the CHRISTIAN to cross TODAY than there was in those days! So my friend, The Word is APPLICABLE in all situation{Hebrew 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16-17}! 2 Likes |

Goshen360: It simply applies to Christians that God doesn't recognize limitations. Stop quoting me if you don't have important tins to say |
Re: Upgrade Your Life: Pastor Chris by Goshen360(m): 9:44pm On Aug 22, 2013 |
Kenny4lyfe: That's why you need to occupy yourself with your covenant where you belong which is a better covenant. |
Re: Upgrade Your Life: Pastor Chris by Goshen360(m): 9:47pm On Aug 22, 2013 |
Gombs: I have many things to say such as, New Living Translation Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God. If it APPLIES to you, then you have 613 laws to keep. You can't take one and leave the rest you know. We are ministers of the New Testament and of better covenant. We do Christlike and the Apostolic, not the mosaic. |
Re: Upgrade Your Life: Pastor Chris by JesusisLord85: 10:03pm On Aug 22, 2013 |
Goshen360: sheesh, I can't believe people follow your teachings. Solomon had those laws, he broke some. David had them, he broke some. You cannot be saved by the law, we know that. But you walk in obedience to God's word, and the spirit will guide you to obey. Paul was talking to those teaching pharisaic judaism, who taught that you had to keep the law AND the oral traditions IN ORDER to be saved. They law itself was NEVER in dispute, that would be stupid. Acts 15:1 "And certain men which came down from Judea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved." what is that? THe process of converting to pharisaic Judaism. They wanted them to keep their oral traditions and the torah (they saw no disctinction between the two). Jesus tells of this indirectly: Matthew 23:15 "15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." This is what Paul was turning from, the traditions of men, NOT Torah: Galatians 1:14 " and profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers." Shalom |

^ Greater than solomon is Christ and in Christ, I'm more blessed with wisdom than solomon. 2. Christians are not scribes and pharisees. Why tell me\us that? Are you a pharisee? |

Goshen360:First of all, you are derailing this thread, your statement above is TOTALLY OFF TOPIC! We're talking about UPGRADING your life here as God requires it not THE LAW! Since when does UPGRADING YOURSELF become a LAW? As for The Law, Christ is the end of the law{Romans 10:4}! We now operate under The Law of Love {John 13:34, 1 John 2:8} 1 Like |

Goshen360: Told you to stop quoting me. So the Old testament is not necessary abi? I doubt your ability to read. Go and read dat Romans 15v4 in pidgin bible. Since when upgrading your life became a law of Moses sef? Are you sure you born again? |

Re: Upgrade Your Life: Pastor Chris by JesusisLord85: 11:16pm On Aug 22, 2013 |
Kenny4lyfe: As for The Law, Christ is the end of the law{Romans 10:4}! We now operate under The Law of Love {John 13:34, 1 John 2:8} Firstly, the correct translation is "Christ is the goal of the law". Go research that please. Second, Romans 2. Lets get the context: Romans 8:2-3 " 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:" Good. He mentions: 1.Law of Spirit of Life 2. Law of sin and death One must be from God, and the other not. Lets go back a chapter to confirm what I tell you: Romans 7:22 " 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members." 1. He delights in the law of God (Torah) 2. He sees "another law", which brings him into "captivity of the law of sin". My friend, he is talking about the pharisaic laws (laws of man). Jesus mentions it when he says this: Matthew 23:15 "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." Torah is still to be observed. Traditions of men you can disregard. Shalom |
