John 8.23
And He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
Jesus was born of the word of God. John says the word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus came from above and He knew it and He lived according to it.
Well, the day you accepted Christ, you were born again by the incorruptible seed of God's word. You were born of God, born from above. Just like Jesus you can say, I am from above and I am not of this world. Philippians says we are citizens of heaven. Each and every believer has been sent to the earth by God to fulfill a specific assignment. Remember, you are from another planet called heaven. Paul says though we are in the world, we are not of it meaning we don't belong here. We are here on the earth for a specific task. This is why Jesus was so consumed with the work that He had been sent to do. During the last days of his ministry He said, I have glorified the Father by finishing the work He has given me to do.
Be conscious that you are from another planet, therefore things that trouble the earth shouldn't trouble you because you have heavenly protection and provision. Heaven is not moved by politics, terrorism, inflation or corruption or some sickness or climate change. Heaven is stable and therefore you will never lack provision and protection. Fix your mind on heaven because that's where you have come from. 'I am from heaven'. Make this a reality of your life and it will help you focus on the right things and help you with your priorities and you will never be the same. Jesus is Lord.
