Keep your heart and mind on heavenly promises
Prepare to soar 7
Meditate about these things.
“If ye, then, be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God,” (Col.3:1). This is a beautiful scripture of hope, faith, love, and inspiration. It says seek those things which are above.They are futuristic. It is where our treasure is supposed to be. Those “things” above are treasures, and they are made up of the promises and rewards of God, depending on how we yielded to the Lord on the earth. On earth we accept, (believe and confess) the finished work of the Cross, of our Lord Jesus Christ, to inherit eternal life.
But those things above include: Rev 2:7 – To him that overcometh, will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. Rev. 2:11 – He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. The guarantor of this promise is above; so seek those things which are above – Amen. The systems of the earth are deceitful, be wise: Learn to believe and accept all the word of the Bible and avoid trusting in man, read Jer. 17:9-10. Escaping the second death is especially important otherwise one will end in the lake of fire. Read Rev. 20 to see the magnitude of the issue. Rev. 2:17 – To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna and will give him a white stone and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Where are these promises? Seek those things which are above, amen. Their fulfillment involves the heavens. “In My Father’s House are Many Mansions: If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2).
Rev. 2:26 – He that overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations, and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. Rev. 3:5- “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.” Mark 8:38-Whosoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. The book of life is in heaven, seek those things which are above.
Rev. 3:12- Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God and I will write upon him My new name.” Rev. 3: 21- To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame and am set down with my Father in his throne. Rev. 21:7, “He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.” This is the capstone of it all. He will be your God and you shall be God’s son. This is one great reason to seek those things which are above.These are promises that cannot fail in the Bank of God’s promises in heaven. Think again, there is hell and there is heaven. Is your name in the Lamb’s book of life? Time is short, He is on his way- Seek those things which are above. Remember, without having salvation you cannot seek those things which are above. Don’t forget, “for God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life,” (John 3:16). Believe the gospel now before it is too late to seek those things which are above where Christ sitteth. No salvation, No seeking.
