Will a Christian live a miserable life on earth in anticipation of heaven or rapture?

Colossians 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

His death and resurrection has translated us into his kingdom already, you don't need to wait for any rapture.

Now, Europeans and the western world who brought Christianity to Africa have understood this. Are their lives today looks like people who are waiting to have good things?

Waiting is a mind-set of poverty
It's a perpetual slavery of the mind, it was never scriptural.

So, instead of waiting, why not think of solutions to the problems around your immediate environment?

Purposeful living

engaging

OP olodo. Hpwndo you live in heaven when beans is not affordable, and rice is for the soper rich?

How do you live in heaven when Farina aka garri cannot be soaked by the poor ordinary man?

When will you stop posting blasphemies on Nairaland? You will surely be held accountable, you will surely give account.

Is it now you are knowing this? Have you not been thinking of solutions to your problems since you were born, yet.you live misery fully?

Continue encouraging yourself but surely no matter the amount of encouragement you give yourself, it would always end in pain full futility when you see that your bucket will never be full when you use a fork to fill it.

You will surely be held accountable, you will surely give account.

certainly, you will surely be held accountable for your ignorance.

Nor go know the truth first

Who told you bible believing and born again Christians are living in poverty??

So because they don't club, or show off or go to unsavoury places means they are living in poverty?

My friend , children of God know they are living in the miniature kingdom of God while on earth, but their minds is on the heavenly, which is the most important thing to obtain, hence, the simple lifestyle

It's not about you living simple life in poverty or living in affluence.
It's about you being conscious of the fact that there are no other heaven elsewhere other than here.

Matthew 5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

For the fact that the disciples were poor spirit they have the kingdom already. That was 2000 years ago.

So, why are your minds still gazing the heavenly searching for what was given since 2000 years ago?
That means, there is no way you will focus your minds on this earth to make life better for you because your minds are not here.

When you have a bad and oppressive government ruling you, you can never think of how you will have atleast a democratic freedom, because your mind is already weakened by a false hope of heaven from the sky.
Meanwhile heaven is here

Yes
