BETTER THINGS ARE ABOVE
Memorise: Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Colossians 3:2
Read: Colossians 3:1-3
After
John wrote the letters Jesus dictated to him, he looked up and saw a
door open in Heaven. He was invited to come and see certain things. From
the first chapter of the book of Revelation to Revelation 4:1, we see
three doors. Revelation 3:8 talks about an open door of prayer,
missionary activity, etc. The second-door is in Revelation 3:20 which
speak of the door of choice. The third door in Revelation 4:1 speaks of
heavenly revelation. When heavenly doors are open, you will see
beautiful things. Heaven is a super planet crafted with the best
architecture, building construction, beautification, engineering, etc.
The beauty of Heaven is indescribable. What we can only do is to search
for things that come a little close to what is there. If you are a lover
of beautiful things, well-crafted and highly designed houses, well
planned streets and other magnificent things, wait until you get to
Heaven. There is simply nothing to be compared to this planet! Somebody
who visited said the gold and precious stones on earth are incomparable
to those in Heaven.
When
you look at Heaven, you see the glory of God. You see God's unbeatable
taste in beauty and yet in all of Heaven, you cannot find anywhere a
single sin is being committed. Who says you cannot be wealthy and live
in affluence without staining your garment of righteousness? Heaven is
full of beauty. Many of us are so busy about earthly things that we may
never have the opportunity of seeing a vision of open Heavens. This is
why Colossians 3:1-3 says you should set your love and attention on
heavenly things. If you look to the earth, you will only see and receive
from the earth. Change your focus today- There are better things above.
There is better news above. There are more glorious sights above. Turn
your eyes up and see what God sees. As you look to the Lord from today,
He will open your eyes to see what you never saw. The Heavens will open
to you this reason.
PRAYER POINT
Father, open my eyes to see visions of Heaven.
