'' Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; '' Hebrews 3:1
Heavenly calling is the call of God for the saints of God to do the work of God on behalf of God for the establishment and expansion of God's kingdom . The partakers are those who are called into the service of God . Who have been given divine insight into the deep things of God and are walking in the path way of divinity . This means they have access into the revelations of God , they are gifted and empowered with godly virtues for the glorification of God .
'' Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; '' 2 Corintians 4:1 It is the ministry and service of working alongside God in what God is doing in this end-time world to gather his children for the coming of the Lord . We are made partakers of this ministry by faith as we obtain God's mercy , God forgives us our sins and cleanses with the blood of Jesus Christ . Therefore, we are suppose to walk in a righteous and godly way without deception or hypocrisy .
'' But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. '' 2 Corinthians 2:2 Those who are partakers of the heavenly calling have to make sure that they purify their ways , by forsaking evil , not hiding evil , nor living in secret sin . They are not walking in craftiness , means they are honest and faithful , they are not dubious nor cheats who trick people into doing evil .
They don't deceive people with wrong doctrines nor lifestyle '' nor handling the word of the Lord deceitfully '' . They tell the truth and live a godly life to honour the most high God , '' By manifestation of the truth '' This means they confess Christ and live as such , without secret or hidden sins in their hearts . Those who are partakers of the heavenly calling set their focus on Christ Jesus ,and they are heavenly minded in their daily decisions . '' Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God '' Hebrews 12 : 2
Their thoughts are always heavenward , living and preparing for a life in heaven . '' If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. '' The Lord wants us to have the mindset of heaven , be kingdom minded and heavenly focus .
Prayer
Lord help me by your grace to be heaven focused , because I am a partaker of the heavenly calling in the name of Yeshua .
