Text: Colossians 3:1-4
Memory Verse: “If then you were raised with Christ; seek those things which are above where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God” (Colossians 3:1).
When God raised Christ from the dead, you were raised together with Him and you became a new creation, alive to God. Hisresurrection gave birth to the new creation, which cannot be held down by sin, death or even the grave. When He died, He died for you, when He arose, He rose for you. Today you have a new life; Halleluyah (2 Corinthians 5:17)! The new creation is the fruit of His redemption (Roman 8:23), you have been brought out of spiritual death into life. You came alive with Christ and knowing that you have been raised together with Christ and seated with Him
in the heavenly realms; so seek those things which are above. Have the consciousness of one who is seated together with Christ in the place of dominion, glory, and power. It is a place where there is no darkness, sickness, defeat and pain; a place of absolute mastery and authority.
Jesus is seated at the right hand of God and has authority over all creation, in heaven and earth. God has lifted us up into glory along with Christ. We sit with Him in the heavenly realms of power, dominion and majesty (Ephesians 2:6).
We occupy the same position of authority with the power of attorney to act in His stead. What a blessed reality to be joint heirs with Christ. As you celebrate in this season, live in the consciousness that you have been made new and walk in that reality.
Prayer Points:
1. Lord, help me to seek those things which are above.
2. Holy Spirit, please help me to occupy till Jesus comes.
