‘Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.’
Philippians 3:13-14
God revealed.
A lot to me.
This weekend.
And.
The word.
That was given.
To me.
Was.
When it’s over.
It’s over.
Move forward.
And.
Don’t look back.
The above verses.
Are the words.
Of.
Apostle Paul..
In a letter.
He wrote.
To the church.
Of Philippi.
While he was.
In prison.
In Rome.
He urged.
Them to follow.
His example.
And.
Take on the mind.
Of Christ.
‘Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.’
Philippians 3:15-16
This mind.
That Paul.
Is speaking of.
Is to.
Humble ourselves.
And.
Serve others.
Just like Christ.
‘Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.’
Philippians 2:5-11
Our goal.
Is to.
Have the same mind.
As Christ.
So don’t.
Let your past.
Or.
Your accomplishments.
Build up.
Pride.
In your heart.
For we are to.
Humble ourselves.
To the point.
Of death.
Then.
Our Lord.
Will exalt us.
To our.
New position.
In heaven!
I love you!
And I pray.
That your day is blessed!
In Jesus name, Amen!
