In order to be of eternal help to others we must chose to be mindful of Heaven’s business if we are to be of any earthly use.
I prayed today for myself and some others that God would make us so Heavenly minded, we would be of some earthly use! – {Read Col 3:1-2}. It is not to live with our head in the clouds but our thoughts and affections firmly planted in the unseen realm where Christ reigns and the Bible reveals what HEAVEN is like and what are the desires, commands, promises and pursuits desired from the King of Heaven. In order to be of eternal help to others we must chose to be mindful of Heaven’s business if we are to be of any earthly use.
We must THINK- THINK- THINK on The Lord Jesus and His Word. Trust Him continually and learn to live in compliance with His Word and help others for Jesus sake! “keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, …” –{Colossians 3:1-2}. Someone once said, “you will be so heavenly minded you will be of no earthly use.” But the reality is only those who are mindful of Heaven’s business will be of any earthly use!
His Word is “fuel” for our thinking right and renewing our mind. You and I are responsible for what we choose to think on. “Set your affections on things above, where Christ is seated”- {Colossians 3:1-3}. “Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly”– {Col 3:15-16}. “Blessed is the one whose.. delight- is in the Law of the LORD and meditates in it day and night He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither;And in whatever he does, he prospers.”-{Psalm 1:2-3}.
PRAY; Ask God to make you Christ conscious and…
THINK; Chose to think on Christ and His business as revealed in Scripture
MEMORIZE; Take a 3 by 5 card and write Colossians 3:1-3 on it and carry it with you and when you have free time read, re-read and then begin to MEDITATE, think on each word, phrase, sentence and verses. Commit to memory. Pray these verse for yourself and others and seek first His kingdom and God will make you heavenly minded so you begin to see life through the lens of Scripture and you will be of earthly use to the Lord Jesus.
APPROPRIATE; – Choose His Word, His Ways…and your work will be of eternal value!
Only Those who are Heavenly minded will be of any earthly use.
