Set Apart for Upgrade

There was a time in my life where the importance of upgrade was not on my radar. I was busy running a church, a food bank and flying all over the world on mission trips building water wells and orphanages. While I thought I was on the right track, God proved that He didn’t.

Sitting in a Central American airport waiting for my flight home to blessed Texas, I was thinking about all the great food I was going to eat when I got home. Ribs, hot dogs, barbecue, Tex-Mex… then BOOM! The Holy Spirit crashed my mental shopping cart with an unexpected God-thought.

I knew if I acted quickly, the thing He put on my heart would come true. Before my head could talk me out of a blessing, I stepped up to the ticket counter and said in my best country hick accent, “Ma’am, if you have any unclaimed upgrades laying around, I would like to pick one up, please.”

That was my first time in first class. The Lord spoke to me loud and clear: I had a bunch of unclaimed upgrades laying around. That’s when I got intentional and started digging into the Kingdom subject of “upgrade and progression.”

It has been on my radar ever since. What about you? Have you become comfortable in your walk? Satisfied with your faith? If the answer is yes, you are stuck in a rut. The next level of Jesus is right around the corner.

Are you ready to go after it? Do you want to chase after upgrade?
