Focus Your Eyes on the Things Not Seen, for They Are Eternal

So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.
2 Corinthians 4:18 (AMP)

Glory and honour be to God for this beautiful day, let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Praise God for the eternal life we have in Christ Jesus. This life is precious beyond measure and must be handled with the importance it deserves. That is why we are called to focus our eyes on the eternal things.

Apostle Paul charges us not to fix our eyes on what we see around us, for those things are temporary , cars, houses, clothes, and every material possession are fleeting and brief, with no eternal value. They are good and necessary, but they should never become our ultimate pursuit.

Instead, we must focus on the unseen , the spiritual things of eternal value. The invisible realities of God’s kingdom are everlasting and imperishable. This is the faith we express in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ: believing in our hearts and confessing with our mouths that Jesus Christ alone is Lord , now and forevermore.

Most High God, our trust is in You. May our eyes remain focused on You and on the great promises in Your Word. Help us to choose the spiritual, unseen, everlasting, and imperishable things. May we abide in them and receive Your reward of eternal life in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Fight the Good Fight of Faith and take hold of Eternal Life

Fight the good fight of the faith [in the conflict with evil]; take hold of the eternal life to which you were called, and [for which] you made the good confession [of faith] in the presence of many witnesses.
1 TIMOTHY 6:12 AMP

Glory and honour be to God for a brand new day, May His presence be with us this day. Celebrate the goodness of the Lord.

The Apostle Paul admonishes young Timothy that it is important to stay in the faith after all is said and done. Fight the good fight of Faith! There are so many things that compete for our attention and it is important that we keep our eyes firmly on Jesus. Focus on the author and finisher of our Faith.

The preceding verse to the above scripture clearly charges the believer to flee from all appearances of sin and pursue righteousness, faith, love, steadfastness and gentleness.

There should be no room to compromise on the salvation we have received when we boldly declared our position in Christ Jesus. Fight the good fight of Faith till the very end so we can take hold of eternal life through Christ Jesus.

May the Lord energise us to pursue this fight relentlessly. May we continue fighting the good fight of Faith till the coming of the Lord, holding on to the eternal life in Christ Jesus in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
