Key Verse: “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth”(Colossians 3:2).
MESSAGE:
When a man is born again, his orientation becomes totally revamped. His mind is tuned to focus on those things that are above with earnestness. His ambition is no longer to acquire the things of this world upon his own lust. As believers in Christ, we must seek God’s overriding control in every aspect of our lives. In anticipation of Christ’s coming, Paul exhorts Christians to refrain from behaving after the manner of the unregenerate. DCLM Daily Manna 9 April, 2018

In many societies, corruption is the mainstay. Sadly, some of those who claim to have given their lives to Christ are still caught in this cankerworm. Remember, there is no middle course to living in life. You are either living by faith or by sight, governed by the dictates of sensual judgment. The one you choose will impact either positively or negatively on your destiny.
