On things above

"If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth"(‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭1-2‬ NKJV). This earth is not our home, but our place of temporary residence. There is nothing in this world that should cause a born again child of God to want to stay here. All there is chaos and darkness. We are all pilgrims passing through, looking forward to a home made from the hands of God. Do not let the things of this world keep you from receiving the greatest blessing in your life, which is only found in Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul went all the way with Jesus Christ. He was filled and on fire with the Holy Spirit, which kept his soul satisfied and crucified to this world. Every struggle and problem that came his way was given to the Lord at the altar of prayer. Just as Jesus got his authority from God the Father, the Apostle was also under the authority of God the Father through the power of the Holy Spirit. This world, with its passions and desires, cannot hold a man or woman of God down. That man or woman of God has been set free and are free indeed. They are in Jesus Christ. There's nothing here that should excite us or keep us here. You and I must understand that we are foreigners of the land, temporary residents, for there is a Heaven that awaits us. God bless you. Amen
