Higher pursuits!

Colossians 3:1‭
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

You are seated on God's throne at his right hand in Christ. This is not a promise, its a new testament reality. Every born again child of God is seated on the highest throne of the universe. Christ has given us this awesome privilege. Blessed be His name.

God raised you from the dead with Jesus and made you sit with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. This became your reality when you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Be conscious of your position and place. You are seated on God's throne in Christ. Apostle Paul says since you are in heaven, why don't you seek and pursue heavenly things. The world says you can be so heavenly minded that you are of no earthly good. This is certainly from the earth and is absolutely against the word. The greatest good that anyone can do on the earth is to be heavenly minded. The word says seek the heavenly things, things that are above so that we can manifest heaven on earth. Look at Jesus, how he lived and demonstrated heaven on earth. Multitudes upon multitudes followed him because he was demonstrating a higher, glorious and heavenly life and people craved it and were desperate for it. Jesus told Nicodemus the only way to have it and live it is to be born again, to be born of God, born from above. Seeking heavenly things in your earth walk helps you live life efficiently and effectively on earth.

Friend, we are ambassadors of Christ, representatives of heaven sent to the earth to show forth the culture of our King and our kingdom. For us to do it effectively, we must set our minds on the things of heaven and be conscious that though we are in this world, we don't belong to this world. The word of God is the constitution of our kingdom. We set and fix our minds on the word, on the love of God and on pleasing our King Jesus Christ.
