Philippians 3:14

High points from Pauls letter

Paul

encouraged them repeatedly

to rejoice no matter the
circumstances so as to safeguard
their faith, because Paul was
aware that oppositions (from the
Jews) will occur, so He prepared
their minds for what is to come.

He

encouraged them to be
vigilant for peddlers of heresy
concerning the issue of
circumcision, making them
realise that those who are truly
circumcised are:
Those who worship by the Spirit
of God
Who glory in Christ Jesus

TRUST

When

in difficult situations what

will you do, the action we take
shows where our trust actually lies.
If we fail to completely trust in
God, we cannot please Him (Heb
11:6)
Never trust in flesh for your
success in life, because the arm of
flesh will surely fail

TEAMWORK

Ants

are really
good at this and
that is why the
Bible tells us to
learn from the ants
(Proverbs 6:6)
Teamwork allows
these organised
little creatures to
build and carry out
great works

There

is no underestimation to
what one can achieve with
teamwork. (The tower of Babel)
Gen 11:5-9
Lets apply teamwork in academics,
spiritual activities, e.t.c and then
watch the outcome.
Gen 2:18, Eccl 4:10.
