The Spirit of God through Apostle Paul counselled that:
If you then be risen with Christ, SEEK those THINGS which are ABOVE, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
SET your AFFECTION (love) on things ABOVE, not on things on the earth.
For you are dead and your life is hid with Christ in God.
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with Him in glory. (Colossians 3:1-4).
But the Bible reveals that:
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment. Because as He is, so are we in this world. (1 John 4:17).
As Jesus Christ is, so you and I are in this World. Halleluyah!
Therefore, the Bible counsels thus:
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which do so easily beset us and let us RUN with patience the RACE that is set before us.
LOOKING unto JESUS the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our FAITH. Who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1,2).
Why should you look unto JESUS CHRIST alone?
Because you and I must consciously and consistently depend and look unto Him (Jesus Christ) alone coveting His character (fruits of the Spirit) and competent (gifts of the Spirit) to live a victorious, successful and satisfactory life in this World as He did. (Galatians 5:16-26; 1 Corinthians 12; Romans 8:28-30).
Because He (Jesus Christ who) was rich became poor for the sake of you and I, so that through His poverty, we might become rich. Halleluyah! (2 Corinthians 8:9).
This means that:
1. When Satan comes against you with POWERLESS, you look unto the spiritual POWER in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (John 1:12; Act 1:8).
2. When Satan comes against you with POVERTY, you look into the spiritual RICHES in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (2 Corinthians 8:9; Philippians 3:19).
3. When Satan comes against you with LIES, you look unto the spiritual WISDOM (truth) in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (James 1:5-8).
4. When Satan comes against you with WEAKNESS (sickness), you look unto the spiritual STRENGTH (healing) in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (Isaiah 40:28-31).
5. When Satan comes against you with DISHONOUR, you look unto the spiritual HONOUR in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as reveal in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True!
6. When Satan comes against you with SHAME, you look unto the spiritual GLORY in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (Isaiah 60).
7. When Satan comes against you with CURSES, you look unto the spiritual BLESSINGS in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places as revealed in the Word of God by the Spirit of God and lay hold to it until it becomes physically yours in this World. True! (Galatians 3:13,14).
The Bible reveals that Jesus Christ obtained these above seven foundational and fundamental lifelines for you and me with His sinless and precious blood He shared on the Cross of calvary on our behalf many years ago. His death and resurrection got us the victory over the devil and the blessings of Abraham. Halleluyah! (Please read Revelation 5-1-12; Galatians 3:13,14).
These seven foundational and fundamental divine lifelines for living victoriously, successfully and satisfactorily on Earth are heavenly placed as spiritual blessings for you and I.
The Bible reveals this:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.
Having predestined us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace. (Ephesians 1:3-7).
This is why Jesus Christ teaches you and I to pray thus:
Your kingdom come. Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (Matthew 6:10).
With the above understanding in mind that Jesus Christ has obtained all that we need spiritually and physically to win and succeed on Earth, Apostle Paul boldly declared thus:
I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me.
My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13, 19).
Why worry when JESUS CHRIST had done it all for you?
Why worry when you can pray?
Why worry when you can trust?
Why worry when you have a God that answers prayer?
Only consciously and persistently LOOK unto JESUS CHRIST each day and it will be yours as you sensitively listen and humbly obey the voice of His Holy Spirit within you each day. True!
In this era and age of uncommon deception and manipulation within and outside the Church of Christ, LOOKING unto Jesus Christ ALONE is the only answer. True!
God bless you.
