Elects In The Era Of Updates

by Olawale Ogunsola  
6/20/2023 / Christian Apologetics

Invention and improvement have always been part of lives of humanity. Progress prevents stagnation. Life is on the motion (move everytime. To God be the glory Who has given such great knowledge to mankind. The works of creation continue through humanity who have been commissioned to do so.
The birth of modern technology has brought great revolution to their ways and means of living their lives. Everyone needs to be computer literate to be relevant in the scheme of things nowadays. At least, the number of people who make use of iPhones and Android phones are on the increase daily throughout the world. The use of these and other devices has made the employment of numerous applications unavoidable.

What goes with these things is the use of various codes.

Do you know what? Devices and codes are updated regularly and people are encouraged to welcome the new update for better performance. Willingly or reluctantly, so many people agree to the new update. The new update may or not meet or improve the experience of the user. The truth is that, many times, a new update brings better performance of the applications for better results.
In all these things, the Elects are given a wise counsel by their Master thus.
"[38]Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”; Mark 14.

Watch.
Everyone who is a candidate of the kingdom of God should watch. He should not allow the weak body (flesh) to prevail over the willing Spirit. The flesh may want every update to be employed. The body desires beautiful things and pleasure. It is approved if used lawfully but every Saint should remember that not all things that are lawful are useful to everyone. Everytthin lawful are not always good for all. Everything is not beneficial to all. For this reason (s), a kingdom minded person should not be brought under the control of anything that benefits only the flesh, 1 Corinthians 10:23; 6:12. Therefore, watch what you update!

Pray.
It is very important to engage in serious prayer to know the difference between what will please the Lord and what can grief the Holy Spirit. We have to engage in regular conversation with the One Who own us (you). Prayer is the major key to knowing and doing the right thing to please the Lord. As you watch, you have to pray.

Pray and Watch
Apostle Paul emphasized the value of watching thus,
"4:2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; "Colossians KJV.
This means that as you start with watching, you introduce prayer as a strong backup; you will have to give watching a serious priority after prayer.
Why is all these?
Devices and codes are changed without seeking the opinion of the user. Where this is even done, the owner or producers have the final say. Many times, they only inform the user to either update or lose the use of the product or service.

The
For "efficiency" sake, sometimes, they bring a code to replace three or more codes earlier used to transact business with them.

Beloved, watch and pray and watch!
Gradual steps towards actualizing the beast project, after the Saints have left to be with their Lord is being orchestrated. The Scriptures make it known thus,
"[17]And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name.
[18]Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. His number is 666." Revelation 13.
May you and I not be alive during the time in Jesus name. If all codes and devices are reduced to 666, what can people do? They will become powerless! Therefore, take your walk with the Lord serious and prepare for the imminent coming of the Lord. The Scripture is being fulfilled before our eyes!

Note:
Scriptures quoted are from New Living Translation of the Holy Bible except where otherwise indicated.
Help to share this piece and the Lord will surely reward you bountifully in Jesus name.
