1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
KEY VERSE: “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth” Colossians 3:2
Message
Judith went to spend the vacation in her niece’s house in the city. The house is very close to the airport. Few minutes after her arrival at the place, she heard a very loud noise in the sky. She ran out of the house, looked up and saw an aero-plane just taking off as her uncle’s house is not too far from the airport. The aero-plane looked so big when compared with the ones she used to see in the sky. She was surprised at the size of the plane which made her to continue to look at it until it flew out of her sight. As soon as the aero-plane disappeared into the cloud, Judith looked down; nothing again in the sky caught her attention.
As friends of Jesus, we have a home in heaven, and also a Saviour in heaven, we have treasures in heaven. We also have an expectation, we are expecting our Saviour Jesus Christ to appear in the sky to take us home in the rapture. Our text therefore encourages all friends of Jesus to set their mind and affection on things above. This means that we should always think about heavenly things and how to please God and not things of this earth. We are to prepare for the coming of Christ every day as we wake up in the morning and as we go to sleep in the night. Be sure you are truly born again and live the life of obedience to God. Pray every day, read your Bible, live a holy life, do your restitution and follow peace with all around you. Expect the rapture daily, it can happen any moment. Setting your mind on the things above will help you to be ready.
Heavenly Father give me grace to always look up unto heaven, in expectation of the coming of Christ.

John 14:1-3
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
