Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!...- Philippians 4 (NIV)
We are called to run well in the race set for us. Re. Simon shared with us on what can we do in order to run well.
Having the same mind
-
It is important to live in harmony.
-
As a church we need to have the same mind, we should not let disagreements and dissimilar preferences hinder us from fulfilling the vision.
-
We stand firm in the Lord by seeing the way God sees and walking the path God has set upon us.
Having a joyful spirit
-
Joy comes into our lives when we accept Jesus.
-
Joy is only active when we allow ourselves to come under that situation, it's something that we choose to have.
-
In the midst of our afflictions, we can still experience the joy of the Lord.
-
Joy is no affected by any circumstances in the world.
Having a thankful heart
-
We need to be thankful in every situation, and be content in all that we have.
-
Being contented is a decision we make, to know that God has our best interests in his mind.
-
God knows all things and owns all things.
-
When we are content, we can see God's favor in our life increase.
