Citizen Of The Heavenly Kingdom – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional April 19th

(You’re Not Of This World)

TO THE BIBLE: Philippians 3:20 NKJV
“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

LET’S TALK
Do you know that you’re a heavenly citizen? Your life is from heaven. You’re in God’s Kingdom now!

Therefore, don’t transact your affairs, don’t live as though you’re of this world or living in the world: “Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations” (Colossians 2:20).

Your actions and reactions, your thoughts, words and responses shouldn’t be like those of the people of the world.

You’re different. You live on God’s terms; you live by His Word. You live by faith. Hallelujah!

Jesus said in John 15:19 KJV, “…l have chosen you out of the world….” No wonder the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, cautioned, “Why are you still living as though you’re in the world, when actually you live in Christ, in the Spirit?”

Then, in Galatians 5:25, He tells us to walk in the Spirit, because we live in the Spirit. Now that you’re born again, you live in two worlds: the physical world and the spiritual world.

But you have to be more conscious of the spiritual world because life is spiritual. Colossians 3:1-2 KJV says, “If ye then be risen with Christ, 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.” Live the life of heaven—on earth! Let your outlook on life be from the Kingdom’s perspective.

When you understand this, you’ll never be perturbed by the troubles and crises in the world; you’ll live above them. This is because in the Kingdom we only win and grow from glory to glory. Hallelujah!

Pray:
I’m not of this world; I’m born from heaven and live the life of heaven now in the earth! I live above the debilitating principles of this world, walking in victory, health, strength and prosperity. I’m conscious of my heavenly blessings, rights and privileges and I live in them in Christ Jesus. Amen.
