And set
your minds {and} keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the
things that are on the earth (Colossians 3:2 AMP).
Do you
realize that the Christian ministry is a spiritual ministry? Indeed, it is! The
Kingdom of God kingdom of God
This world
isn’t your permanent home; you’re here only as a pilgrim. According to the
Bible, we’re only going to be in this world for a season because one day, the
whole earth will be replaced with another one (Revelation 21:1). Therefore, you
must set your focus on those things that truly matter, and not on the transient
pleasures of this present world. Colossians 3:2-4 says, “Set your affection on
things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid
with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye
also appear with him in glory.”
Until, and
unless you come to that level in your life where Christ is your focus, you’ll
be living an empty life. Let nothing else compete with your love for the Lord.
Get to that point where your love for Jesus and attention on the expansion of
His kingdom is all that matters to you.
PRAYER: Precious
Father, I thank you for the privilege and honour of being a vital member of your
spiritual Kingdom. Loving you and living for you is all that matters to me; and
I declare my commitment to the expansion of the Kingdom, as I propagate the
Gospel, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

STUDY: Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not
I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live
by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Philippians
3:20 (GNB) We, however, are citizens of heaven, and we eagerly wait for our
Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, to come from heaven.
