TOPIC:OUR KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD
TEXT: John 18:36; Matt.4:1-10; Heb.11:14-16
EVERY believer or chosen should know that we are heavenly citizens and not of this world. As a result, we must not allow any form of entanglement to the world nor distraction or earthly glory to beloved our vision or goal of making heaven at last (1Cor.15:19; 2Cor.6:14-18).

If one has this knowledge, such a person no matter what the devil will offer him or her will never lose vision or focus nor make mistakes (Matt.4:8-10). No matter the trials or problems, he or she can never compromise or give up (John 18:36; Mark 10:28). But the unfortunate situation is that many so-called believers will mortgage their soul or faith for money, business, education, husband or wife and for the pleasure of this life. Such people value earthly glory above heavenly citizenship (1Cor.15:19; Mark 8:36-37; Rev.4:11).
