If you’ve ever gone mountain climbing, one of the most fascinating things you’ll discover is how insignificant everything below seems. From above, the tallest buildings shrink, the busiest roads fade, and what once demanded attention becomes insignificant. There’s a higher realm of life to which we’ve been called in Christ Jesus. It’s a place of glory and dominion, far above the distractions and limitations of this world. The Word declares, “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2 NIV). This is the mountaintop life.
It brings to mind something remarkable that the Lord told me many years ago; He said, “Son, see from the mountaintop.” The interesting thing is, I didn’t even realise I was on the mountaintop until He told me. I know that some Christians say they are “journeying” and trying to get to the mountaintop. But being born again, you’re on the mountaintop. You’re risen with Christ and are seated together with Him, far above principalities and powers. Therefore, see from there. Live from there.
From the mountaintop, your vision is clear. You see victory, strength, health, prosperity, and continual progress. You’re above the distractions and limitations of the world. You’re in the realm of the Spirit, where all you see is glory. Ponder again what we read in Colossians 3:2 (NIV), “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Your thoughts, desires, focus and devotion should be directed towards heavenly realities, not earthly distractions. Align your mind with the heavenly perspective and live victoriously every day.

I see from the mountaintop. My affection is set on heavenly things, and my vision is clear and focused; I live above the distractions and limitations of this world. I function from my exalted place in Christ, far above principalities and powers, far above defeat, sickness, and lack. My thoughts are aligned with God’s Word, and my life is the manifestation of His glory.
