Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. (Philippians 3:12 NIV)
Message
On today’s devotion, the Lord reminded us to not be so conscious of our selves but only of our stand to God. Everything else does not matter. As our spiritual parents always say focus on the major. The major is not how we look or the way we speak for these are just superficial. Focus on how the Lord is leading us and how we are obeying Him.
Promise
Always practice serving the Lord only and not the self. Do not be concerned on how will be looking or how the world would say but only what the Lord would say. There is nothing else that matters. Look onto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. If we follow Holy Spirit to lead us we will only give glory to the Son Jesus Christ and honor the Father in all we do.
Command
Allow the Holy Spirit to lead and display the will of the Father in this life. Never look into the natural but only on the spiritual for that is what matters most.
Warning
The world will try to attract us fo looking good for the sake of things that will make us fall like pride, self-centeredness, or anything that is of the enemy. These will only lead us to be further and further away from the Lord. Rebuke this and go back to the Lord.
Application
Major on the major, know what matters most and allow the Spirit to lead us where we should be. Give glory to the Lord Jesus Christ.
If we need help as it from the Lord, the Fellowship of the Holy Spirit, the Grace and mercy from the Lord Jesus Christ and the wisdom from the Lord God.
