Jer 2:32 Does a young woman forget her jewelry, or a bride her wedding dress? But my people have forgotten me for more days than can be counted.

THE FIRST THING THE FATHER UPGRADED AND CHANGED ON THE PRODIGAL SON WAS HIS ROBE – HIS DRESS!

Luk 15:22 But the father called to his servants. ‘Hurry!’ he said. ‘Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and shoes on his feet.

UPGRADE YOUR DRESSING FOR WHERE YOU ARE GOING! NOT WHERE YOU ARE COMING FROM! EVEN WHEN URGENT!

JOSEPH REFUSED TO LOOK LIKE A PRISONER! HE KNEW HE WAS NOT COMING BACK TO PRISON!

3. UPGRADE YOUR EARS! UPGRADE WHAT YOU HEAR!

ISV – Pro 4:20 My son, pay attention to my words, and listen closely to what I say.

IF YOU DO NOT KNOW, HUMBLE YOURSELF AND ASK SOMEONE WHO KNOWS – IT IS CALLED MENTORSHIP.

Est 2:10 Now, on the advice of Mordecai, Esther had kept it secret that she was Jewish.
Est 2:11 Every day Mordecai would walk back and forth in front of the courtyard of the harem, in order to find out how she was getting along and what was going to happen to her.

UPGRADE YOUR EARS. REMOVE THE “AGIDI” AND STUBBORNESS IF YOU WANT TO BE GREAT!
KJV – Pro 29:1 He, that being often reproved hardens his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
