Giving God Glory Pt3

In Philippians 2:3-7 It says Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. 5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, 6 who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, 7 but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, & coming in the likeness of men. These few scriptures our Powerful. In verse 3 it says that we should not be doing anything through selfish ambition but in lowliness of mind we should be esteeming others better than ourselves. (humbleness) Verse 4 says look out not only for our own interests but also for the interests of others. (unselfishness) Then 5 says let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. Now think about that if Christ didn't go to the cross with the interests of others in mind (meaning you & I) none of us would be saved today. Now verse 6 & 7 are the mind blowers. 6 Who being in the form of God did not consider it robbery to be equal with God but made Himself of no reputation. (now this is Jesus Christ were talking about God in the flesh) taking the form of a bondservant. Now if Jesus who was God in the flesh made Himself of no reputation & took on the form of a bondservant. How much more should we be doing the same. So how is it in this day & age we as a body have gotten away from following the examples of our Lord & Savior. Our Bible tells us that a servant is not greater than his master. (John 15:20) So how is it that some of us are boasting & making reputations for ourselves when our Master never did? In verse 8 & 9 it goes on to say He humbled Himself & became Obedient (keywords:Humbled & Obedient) to the point of death even the death of the cross. Therefore God has highly exalted Him. Jesus Humbled Himself to the point of death even the death of the cross. And we must also humble ourselves in All that we do to the point of death because God wants to exalt us also. He wants to take us higher than we are. But our pride, selfishness, greed, & disobedience just won't let Him. I pray that this word has been a Blessing to you. Remember God wants to take us higher. But in order for some of us to go higher were gonna have to be willing to humble ourselves, truly Repent to God & ask Him for forgiveness and a fresh start.
