Setting affection on Heavenly Things


A Christian sometimes get tired, discourage and is easily driven out by temptation because of what this trouble world is trying to drive out to the life of every Christian.
But as Christian we should not lose hope. We are on the victory side. All we need to do is just to set our affection on the heavenly things. If we do this, for sure we can go on.

 We can face all of Satan’s darts because we have the following assurance.

*We can overcome temptation
According to the book of James, blessed is the man that endureth temptation for when he is tired he shall receive a crown of life. This is the only assurance we have to overcome those temptations that surrounds us.
We know that Satan have many designs in tempting us in order that we will be trap. Sometimes he causes us to suffer in order that we will give up our faith. Don’t get trap go on; endure those temptations by setting your affections on heavenly things.

*We can overcome anxiety
Sometimes this world would give us many problems that will keep us worrying and it seems that we have no hope and no one ever dare to help us. Don’t give up; always remember that God is always there, as He said in His Word. Casting all your cares upon Him for He careth for you. Whatever problems and circumstances we face, let’s just put in mind that if we set our affection on the heavenly things, God is always there waiting to carry us through so that we can go on even though we feel tired.

*We can overcome discouragement
Often in this life we get discourage. Don’t worry my fellow Christian, if you feel discourage just talk it to the Lord in prayer and set your mind on those heavenly things. Always remember God’s promises and you can move on in the midst of discouragement. Don’t give up, stand up, stand firm. Remember you have a Friend whom you can talk too in the midst of your discourage life. In Christian life there is such discouragement but a challenge. Take the challenge and move on for afterward lies great blessings.
Fellow Christian keep your eyes on the heavenly things and set your affection on things above, this is the only way that we can stand in this trouble world.
