Vigilantly seeking the things that are above

Vigilantly seeking the things that are above

Today we will be looking at the topic of vigilance. When we vigilantly “seek the things that are above,” we are not only looking forward to a heavenly eternity, but we should be finding ways to enact heavenly principles in the here and now, incorporating our new, spiritual kingdom life into the life we are living now. The apostle Paul stated it this way: Colossians 3:1-3 – If then you were…

28th Deuteronomy 32:4

Exodus 3:1-15 Exodus 4:1 - 7 Exodus 4:10 - 17

It's not about me. Moses had excuses God is graciously faithful to His people. He is steadfast in His favour He is able to use us in His favour despite our shortcomings. It is all about Him. Five excuses vs 3:11 Who am I? Moses said that he wasn't ready.

The first fourty years of his life were spent at Pharaoh's court.

The Burning Bush. God is self sufficient 2 Corinthians 4:7 - 11 God's ability is what we should focus on. Not on our own insecurities. We're nothing. He is everything. All passages of Scripture point to the Cross. Everyone in Scripture is there for God's glory. Who am I? Irrelevent! Who is He? Excuse 2 vs 4:1 Not qualified. The Israelites Miracles provoke a reaction. They don't bring belief. That requires the presence of God. Genesis 1:3 2 Corinthians 4:6 He is qualified!

Excuse 3 vs 4:10 Ability 4:12 - 14 Our ability to anything of value is dependent on God. It is through Him.

Proverbs 16:9

Excuse 4 vs 14:13 Send someone else.

Moses is very reluctant Philippians 4:19, 20

Excuse 5 vs 3:13 - 15 God is the I AM. Present Tense. He is the Unchanging God. The same Today, Yesterday and Forever.

Don't Lose Heart (2 Corinthians 4:1-12)

We all face times of adversity and seasons of life which stretch our faith and press the limits of what we can handle. 

Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart. Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of…

"So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18."

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (NKJV) - We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed—

In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

“For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.” —Philippians 4:13 (NLT)

“Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.” —2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)

“But those who trust in the Lord for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak.” —Isaiah 40:31 (GNT)

Friend, God loves you, He is with you, He is mighty to save and He is faithful. There is nothing He can't do. May your weekend overflow with breakthroughs and blessings, through Him who gives power and strength! Amen! 🙏🕊️🙌

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. ~2 Corinthians 4:17

[shutterandsentence]

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

"THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE"

THE HOLY SPIRIT’S WORK IN JEREMIAH: God’s call and anointing upon Jeremiah’s life as a prophet began in the womb. God reveals to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 AMPC). This reveals that the…
