“For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).
All over the world, people upgrade their computers, software, mobile phones, wardrobes, cars and even their homes. It’s natural for us to want something better; something more comfortable, faster and more advanced than 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” (Proverbs 4:18-20). 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 than 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 area 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.

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God”
