Where's Your GPS Set? A Challenge for the Risen Soul; From Earthly Minded to Heavenly Hearted: The Shift That Defines a Christian.

-
Ever feel pulled in a million directions? The grind of the daily to-do list, the noise of the news cycle, the pressure to keep up, the worry about what’s next. It’s easy to get so focused on the landscape of our lives that we forget to check our coordinates.
We are navigating by the wrong map.

For those in Christ, the Apostle Paul delivers a seismic shift in perspective. It’s not just a gentle suggestion; it’s a command for the resurrected:

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” (Colossians 3:1 KJV)

Let that sink in. “If ye then be risen…” This is your new identity. The old you is gone. You have been raised to new life. So why are you still digging around in the tomb?

The command that follows is for the living: “Seek those things which are above.”
This is a call to recalibrate your entire search function. To stop seeking only temporary solutions, earthly validations, and material security as your primary goals.

· Instead of seeking just a promotion, seek the purpose God has for you in your work.
· Instead of seeking others' approval, seek the joy of your Father’s pleasure.
· Instead of seeking comfort, seek character.
· Instead of seeking control, seek trust.

It’s not about ignoring your earthly responsibilities; it’s about fulfilling them with a heavenly mindset. It’s setting your internal GPS on the eternal, so your journey through the temporal has meaning, direction, and peace.

Your life is hidden with Christ. Your source, your security, and your seat of authority are with Him. So stop seeking answers in the dust.

Look up. Reach up. Seek up.

That’s where your life is.

Precept Upon Precept: The Pathway of Obedience That Preserves Destiny

Date: 27 December 2025 By FaithfulHeartsNetwork  Many believers desire victory like David but ignore the process that produced David. In a recent message, Apostle Michael Orokpo emphasized that God leads His people precept upon precept, instruction upon instruction, step by step. Victory in destiny is not accidental; it is the product of consistent obedience to small instructions from the Holy Spirit. Most people only remember God when challenges arise. They ignore His promptings, silence His warnings, and then when crisis comes, they rush into prayers, fasting, and emotional appeals, hoping God will undo the consequences of long-term disobedience.  But many problems would never have appeared if the earlier instructions of the Holy Spirit were obeyed. God is not only the Deliverer from battles; He is the Preventer of battles through instructions. Before David faced Goliath, he already had a track record with God. He had obeyed God in private battles. He fought the ...

When God Speaks… and You Still Fail, Does It Mean You Are Not Worthy?

When God Speaks… and You Still Fail, Does It Mean You Are Not Worthy? Published 25 December 2025 By FaithfulHeartsNetwork  Many believers assume that when God gives an instruction, the journey will automatically become smooth. We think divine direction equals an instant absence of obstacles. But that is not always how God trains men.  In a recent sermon, Apostle Joshua Selman emphasized a powerful truth: God can speak, and you may still stumble along the way — and yet still be right in the center of His will. Failure does not always mean disobedience. Delay does not always mean defeat. Setbacks do not always mean you missed God. Sometimes, failure becomes a classroom where God teaches depth, humility, accuracy, and mastery. 🚶‍♂️ Failure on a God-ordained path is not the end — it is training God doesn’t only lead us through victories; He leads us through processes. When Peter stepped out of the boat at the word of Jesus, he began to sink even though Jesus was the o...

The Transaction That Looked Small: How Esau Lost More Than Food - Part 1

Published: 24 December 2025 By FaithfulHeartsNetwork  There are transactions in life that don’t look spiritual, yet they shape destiny forever. Esau did not wake up and say, “Today, I will sell my destiny.” He simply said, “I am hungry. I need food now.” To Esau, it was hunger. To Jacob, it was a covenant exchange. To heaven, it was destiny negotiation. Genesis 25:29–34 shows us that Esau said: “What is my birthright to me if I die of hunger?” He reduced a spiritual inheritance to a physical feeling. Scripture later calls him in Hebrews 12:16: “a profane person who sold his birthright for one meal.” Esau’s mistake was not merely eating food. His mistake was misreading the moment. He thought: this is just hunger this is just food this is just now But it wasn’t “just.” It was a kairos moment disguised as normal life. This is how many destinies are lost: not in witchcraft gatherings not in open rebellion but through small careless decisions Sometimes it is: pray or press y...
