Citizens Of The Heavenly City – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional April 15th

(Born into Everlasting Light)

TO THE BIBLE: Hebrews 12:22-23
“But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven…”

LET’S TALK
You’ve got to think about heaven; otherwise, everything you’re doing in the world is worthless. But we already belong in that city, which the old songwriter referred to as the “heavenly city bright”; it’s called Zion, the city of the great King.

We’re citizens of that bright heavenly city. The night refers to the darkness, but we’re children of the day. Being born of God, you were born into the everlasting day; no more night in your life. Glory to God!

The Bible says, “…the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). The darkness is gone. The light has come.

Darkness refers to everything sinister, evil, depraved, and of Satan. But light refers to God and all that’s good and the divine provisions of Christ in His Gospel.

No wonder the Bible says, “Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness” (1 Thessalonians 5:5).

Let these thoughts fill your heart as you anticipate the Lord’s soon return. Be excited. Be expectant. And as the Scripture says, “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth” (Colossians 3:2).

But you know, to be truly heaven-conscious, and to be of heaven’s use and a blessing to the world, you have to preach the Gospel.

Therefore, always share Christ’s love with others, and tell them about this bright heavenly city into which everyone who confesses and receives Jesus as Lord is born—the city of everlasting light.

Dear Father, thank you for making me a citizen of the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. My heart is set on things above, and I walk daily in the light of your Word. I live with the consciousness of heaven, radiating your glory and leading many into this everlasting city of light. Thank you for the hope of your return, which keeps me focused on my divine purpose, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
