TOPIC: You Live In The Kingdom Now (Rhapsody of Realities 19 January 2024)
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 3:20 NKJV).
Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:
Did you know that you’re a heavenly citizen? Your life is from heaven. You’re not of this world. You’re in God’s Kingdom now! Therefore, don’t transact your affairs, don’t live as though you’re of this world or living in the world: “Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances” (Colossians 2:20).
Your actions and reactions, thoughts, words and responses shouldn’t be like those of the world's people. You’re different. You live on God’s terms; you live by His Word. You live by faith, because that’s the lifestyle in our spiritual Kingdom.

Jesus said in John 15:19, “…I have chosen you out of the world….” No wonder the Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, cautioned, “Why are you still living as though you’re in the world when actually you live in Christ, in the Spirit?”
Then, in Galatians 5:25, He tells us to walk in the Spirit because we live in the Spirit. Now that you’re born again, you live in two worlds: the physical and spiritual worlds. But you must be more conscious of the spiritual world because life is spiritual.
Colossians 3:1-2 says, “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Live the life of heaven—on earth! Let your outlook on life be from the Kingdom’s perspective.
When you understand this, you’ll never be perturbed by the troubles and crises in the world; you’ll live above them. This is because we only win and grow from glory to glory in the Kingdom. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
I’m not of this world; I’m born from heaven and live the life of heaven now in the earth! I live above the debilitating principles of this world, walking in victory, health, strength, and prosperity. I’m conscious of my heavenly blessings, rights, and privileges and live in Christ Jesus. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY
John 17:15-16 AMPC; 15 I do not ask that You will take them out of the world, but that You will keep and protect them from the evil one. 16 They are not of the world (worldly, belonging to the world), [just] as I am not of the world.
1 Corinthians 15:48-49 AMPC; 48 Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded). 49 And just as we have borne the image [of the Man] of dust, so shall we and so [a]let us also take the image [of the Man] of heaven.
Colossians 1:12-13: 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the Kingdom of his dear Son:
