SET YOUR MIND

DAILY GRACE
SAT. 29TH OCT. 2016
TOPIC: SET YOUR MIND 
TEXT: COLOSSIANS 3:3

The Lord will cause your heavens of greatness, enlargement and liftings to be opened in Jesus' name.
God will cause your sorrow to be turned to unlimited joy in Jesus' name.
  "Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things."  
         
The above admonition to you is meant for your good.             
 What exactly does this connotes and why is this God's desire for you?
It is because you are not of this world but of the Father. Hence, the world hates you and your stay here is temporal. Then it's wisdom to have a shift of focus from earthly to heavenly things since your eternal home is with God in heaven.
 Again, it is also because you died to this world actually when you gave your life to Jesus Christ and for that reason and ever since then your life  became hidden with Christ in God.
You were raised with His Son Jesus Christ. So, even Jesus, while He was here on earth said, He came to do all that is written concerning Him and also to do the will of His Father. We are to take lesson from His lifestyle  and also shift our focus from earthly things (lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh and pride of life). These are only all you can find on earth (1 John 2:16). Our focus should be on heavenly things not on things below.   
 Friend, you need a shift of focus and especially that you are a pilgrim here on earth. Abraham and the other heroes of faith were not ashamed to look forward to their homes not built with bricks and block (Heb. 11:13-16). They also confessed that they were mere strangers here on earth. We should know that we won't be on earth forever hence the reason we need to start having a gradual shift to where we will forever stay.
Thus, set your affections on things above, where God is and where the Lamb is the light of that golden city.
 May God of all grace grant you understanding and help you to set your attention, focus, mind, drive and passion on heavenly things.
Do more evangelism, work for God more than ever, take your spiritual assignments serious. Take God serious and He will in turn take you serious. God bless you as you do.              Enjoy your day!

Personal Confession: Father Lord, help me to always set my mind on heavenly things in Jesus' name.

Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return.
