TITLE: kingdom Lifestyle
There is a lifestyle or a way of living in the kingdom. The way some of us live is contrary to the Kingdom of God hence the frustrations. We have abandoned the fruits of righteousness hence the lifestyle of the kingdom has become nothing to unbelivers. Paul says we should set our hearts on things that are above. He is teaching that there is a lifestyle we have to live, sadly many have set their hearts and eyes and affections of the things of this world.
We must check our hearts and know where our hearts is. We must hold in high esteem the things above. When you hold the things above in high esteem you are laying your life in preparation to enjoy them.
Ps.27.4 One thing I have desired of the LORD, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD, And to inquire in His temple. (NKJV)
What is the beauty of the Lord. It is to see things above and love them. See the worship above. See your seat in heaven.
Gal.6.14 But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. (NKJV
You have died to this world by reason of Jesus being crucified. You are dead to the things of this world. You are not suppose to be moved by the things of this world.
Col.3.16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (NKJV)
The word of God must dwell in you richly. When the word is strong in you you will have the strength and audacity to stand against the enemy. You must know the word. You sow little in terms of the word you will reap little.
Your mindset must change. Eat the word. Practice the word. Spend time on the word.
Check your heart.
