Seek those things which are above

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. It is not just above in the sky, but actually in heavenly places where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. This is not on earth and needs to attract our sincere attention and faithfulness.

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. This is presently above, and we should seek those things which are above- Amen. 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, study Jer. 17:9-10. 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. 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.” The book of life is in heaven, seek those things which are above. If a person’s name is not in the book of life he or she will end in the lake of fire, study not just read Rev. 20.

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. This is above, the New Jerusalem which cometh down from heaven. So, seek those things which are above where Jesus Christ sitteth, in heavenly places.
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. This throne is above; seek those things which are above where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.
John 14: 1-3 “I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also. 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.
These are promises that cannot fail in the Bank of God’s promises in heaven. Why do you think this earth is the last stopping place for man? 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.
