"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. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." Colossians 3:1-3

The Word of God declares that all who have received Jesus have shared in His death, but not only His death but now His eternal life.  As heirs with Jesus we are seated in Glory with Him.  We are no longer citizens of this world, but citizens of Heaven.  We are now pilgrims and travelers through this world on our way to our "Home Land" in Glory!  Sense this is an absolute truth we should no longer focus on the things of this world, but on the things of our "Home Land".  We are to set our hearts on things above!  No longer are we to run about seeing how much we can acquire and gain on this world, but now we are to turn our attention to the desires of our Lord, whom we are seated with.  We are now to focus on the Kingdom, and its needs and growth.  Our hearts are to be one with our Lord!  If we do not set our hearts on the things of Heaven, there is no way to walk in oneness with the Spirit.  We will have a separate heart from that of our King if our eyes are on the things of this earth.  Let us turn our eyes whole heartily to Heaven, setting our hearts desires on things that are above!  Let us live powerful and fruitful lives for the Kingdom of our Lord!

"Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,  having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation." 1 Peter 2:11-12
