1. The Duty of setting the affections on things above. (v1-4)
a. They were risen with Christ (Col. 2:12)
b. They were dead to sin (v3)
c. They were soon to be like Christ (v4)
1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

The Prophets’ Faith
OUTLINE
(1) Courage to Stand and Speak for God’s Honour
INTRODUCTION
God raised prophets, in the Old Testament time, to be His voice to His people, Israel, and to the world at large, as a witness to the words and works of the living and true God for His honour and glory. The prophets raised by God declared the will of God to His people so that they may be instructed to know the perfect will of God. Some were writing prophets like Moses (Pentateuch), Daniel, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the minor prophets. And there are the 12 minor prophets. These are the writing prophets, there were the non-writing prophets like Gad (with David in the wilderness and rebuked David when he numbered the people, Nathan (David’s advisor and chastised David for adultery with Beersheba), Elijah, Elisha.
(1) Pray for Peace
He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth.(Psalm 46:9)
The military armaments in which the nations find their pride are a terrible sight! The evil passions that may at any moment bring on ear are a terrible thought! The suffering and desolation that come from war are a sad prospect!
1 Timothy 2:1-3 (KJV) “1 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour”. God can, in answer to the prayer of His people, give peace. Let us pray for it for the rule of righteousness.
When you pray, pray with understanding. “I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with understanding also” (1 Corinthians 14:15).
