Open Heaven 4 July 2020: [Saturday] – What is Your Focus

WHAT IS YOUR FOCUS – Saturday July 4^th 2020

Memorise: Set your affections on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

² Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.

³ For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

⁴ When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

Bible in one year: 2^nd Kings 12-13, 2^nd Chronicles 24, Hymn: Sing hymn 19

Message: -

I was a mathematics lecturer before I went into fulltime ministry and I know that in every class I taught, while there may have been many students there, not everyone’s focus was on understanding what was being taught. Some students were focused on the lecturer’s clothes, some on how he spoke, some on impressing the other students and so on. CLICK HERE FOR PREVIOUS RCCG OPEN HEAVEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The same applies in the kingdom of God. Many people call themselves Christians, but only a few have the right focus. All some people want from God is a new car, a new house, promotion and so on. I pity such people because they will get what they are focused on and lose out on the more important things. Jesus Christ, in Matthew 6:33 says: You May Also like: Do Not Lose confidence in Christ by Pastor E.A Adeboye

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”  Open Heaven — God will Reward You by Pastor E.A Adeboye

I am a living testimony of the efficacy of this scripture. I set my focus on the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and now I can’t count how many of these other things I have. The good part is that I am also on my way to Heaven. You May Also like: Open Heaven – Your Father´s Blessing by Pastor E.A Adeboye

Focus on pleasing God; stop chasing shadows and pursue the substance. If you get the substance you will automatically have the shadow too. Many people never reach the heights that God has ordained for them because somewhere along the line, they take their focus away from heaven and start pursuing material things.

Open Heaven 4 July 2020 Saturday: Reflection

Ask anyone who has had a near death experience they will tell you that material things, flashy as they may seem are not worth all the attention given to them. From now, make Paul’s admonition in 2^nd Corinthians 4:18 your lifestyle: Open Heavens — Stagnant Water Pastor E. A Adeboye

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Reflection

Search your heart: what is really your focus as a Christian.
