Colossians 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Every individual is drawn towards what they are affectionate about. To have an affection means to love deeply and desire tremendously.
Most times, we find ourselves having an intense desire and love for a particular achievement or way of life.
This affection can consciously be set or directed towards anything we choose.
The human ability to choose what to desire or love is a prove that we are in charge of what we go for.
To this end, the Holy Spirit teaches us today to direct or set our affection towards the manifestation of the things of God.
We are to channel our energy towards eternal value and incorruptible blessings.
Please understand that this is very personal, for nobody can choose for you.
Don't allow what you want on earth to distract you from being affectionate about the kingdom of God.
Don't be blinded by earthly pleasures or physical achievements, for all these are vain.
Someday, we shall leave everything here behind, either by death or rapture. What really matters is the kingdom of God that lasts for ever.
Desire God's glory and the manifestation of His kingdom. Desire His power to heal and deliver the oppressed.
Desire the grace to love unconditionally. Desire the grace to forgive like Jesus. Desire Christ's second coming and a life of holiness till the end.
These are the things that comes from God and they are eternal.
Let's pray together
Abba Father, thank you for the grace to abide in you at such a time like this. Please overwhelm us with the grace to love you genuinely, in Jesus name. Amen.
