We should learn how we are admonished from experience how to treat others; whether believers or not. Persons that have supervision over others should be very mindful of the wisdom of Jesus Christ; as you would that others do unto you do ye also unto them. When we remain faithful in prayer and demonstration of the gospel of Jesus Christ we please God and his favor will envelope us.

The apostle cautions the Philippians against judaizing false teachers, and renounces his own former privileges. Using the wisdom demonstrated by Paul we today should be cautious when others try to get us to turn away from the truth God has allowed us to understand when they won’t repent and let God save them. Paul’s earnest desire to be found in Christ; also his pressing on toward perfection is what the church of Jesus Christ is for. To teach and and explain that the church teaches what Jesus said, seek ye first the kingdom of God and the things shall be added and not pursue the carnal above the spiritual and as he recommends his own example to other believers so should we.

All Christians are to put on spiritual armour against the enemies of their souls. The fight we fight is not against man. It is a spiritual war that requires spiritual battle armor, described here in scripture. The apostle here also desires their prayers, as we today should be praying for our spiritual leaders; that are trying to help us prepare and be spiritually equipped for this spiritual war that we are in the midst of and to know that God is with us to deliver us.
-
Here again we see the mind and love of God as he inspires the recording of his instructions for humanity as to how we demonstrate his personality in our everyday vocations. What we do is what defines us. We cannot please God yielding to the will of the flesh. It is important and imperative that we learn the desire of God by his word for believers and then embrace them and walk in them.
-
In this we understand that the apostle was telling the Corinthian church that at one point when they failed to see about his needs, he wrote a strong letter to them, but now he praises them, because they like he didn’t allow friction to come between them. All because of the love of God, with the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. We can learn here what sincere love and commitment can do.
-
Here we learn of apostle Paul defending and proving his Apostolic authority, and asserts his right to continue the work God charged him and was demonstrating that he was with him. Being led by the spirit of God in performance of the tasks he was commissioned. He waved this part of his Christian liberty, for the good of others. Even so today God is still proving himself in those he has commissioned to perform the truth of the gospel until he comes to get the righteous on that great day.

This scripture teaches us that God is not concerned about our ethnicity, nationality, race, sexual gender, or possessions, but he is looking at our righteousness, to see if we are living by faith in Him, through his word and His instructions. When we find ourselves living by the instructions of the word of God, and have the indwelling of the Christ of God by the baptism of the Holy Ghost then we know that we have a acquired it by faith and that is what pleases God. His desire for us is to have faith in him, and to live righteously.
-
This is a demonstration of how, “If God be for you he is more than the whole world against you”. “Since God is for you, who can be against you”. As God, according to Paul’s many testimonies, demonstrated his presence by delivering Paul out of them all; until God’s determination that Paul had successfully completed his course and had kept the faith, even so now God is with us; if we trust him.
-
We learn here an example of godly wisdom. Jesus choose a man born blind and of a common life to perform a miracle. So we see here that socio-economic status in life doesn’t move God; but faith in him is what moves him. The chosen people of God, it seems, are the ones that complained and still complain about who, what, where, and how God chooses to demonstrate his love and compassion. Thank God that he is healing, delivering, prospering, and saving more than just the affluent in life; but those that believe in their heart that he alone is God.
-
And even until these days our Lord Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, the propitiation for the sins humanity, that has provided opportunity to humanity to live life in abundance is still rejected. But woe to them that reject Him. Please don’t turn Him away!!
-
God reaches out to everyone with his love, his word, and his desire for their salvation. However, Jesus makes the point here that more people live their lives enjoying and giving heed to the secular pleasures of this world, that hinders; than those that give diligent heed to God’s promises, his mercy, his grace, his compassion, and his kindness; from whence comes salvation. Many hear God’s plan of salvation but don’t live so.
-
Here we see again the agape’ love of God through His son, Jesus to Christ. Jesus warned his disciples of the forthcoming atrocities that will be impose upon the church by nonbelievers, those that don’t know the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ and don’t know that they don’t know. These are the teachers and preachers without the indwelling of the Christ of God, by the baptism of the Holy Ghost. However the church is reminded that for those that believe and embrace the gospel of Jesus Christ in the end when Jesus comes to get the righteous at the great resurrection shall be caught up to meet Him in the air.
-
God gave the Levites instructions to teach the people, His laws and His judgments, and His statutes. But God was angry then and also now because spiritual leaders were not and are not doing their assignments appropriately, which provokes God to anger which causes Him to release His judgments, His fury, His anger, and His wrath in the land. There must be true repentance, and genuine return to God, to live by His instructions.
-
As It was then and is now, Satan does not rest from trying to oppress and distress the church, the professed people of God, from walking according to the desire of God. Even now, as it was then the church was in a great struggle when it came to and now comes to obedience. Satan will rest some times from oppressing God’s people further, because they don’t seek God in sincerity. Nevertheless, once more and again God prepares to rescue and forgive his people from their sins.
-
Consistency is one of the greatest attributes of God. He always has warned before he sending destruction and devastation. Destruction and devastation would only only visit the people of God after constant disrespect and and disobedience to him. He did then and still now has proven that when the people that he blessed and prospered exercise repentance and obedience to the word and will of God he will turn away his wrath and indignation and bring restoration and restitution to his people.
-
Here again, we learn that God‘s wrath would be kindled upon the disobedient, and the rebellious people that were at ease in Zion. As it was then so it is now. God is displeased with the disrespect and irreverence for Him by how people treat each other.
-
What we should learn from this message is that we should be patient and wait to understand our leading from the Lord. Then do what he tells us. That wisdom is in the scriptures. He lets us know here that even though the enemy may for a time ride over us and take advantage of us; the day will come that the Lord will deliver us by exacting his judgment and indignation against the enemy of his people. Deliverance is in Zion, the church of our risen Lord; Jesus the Christ of God.
-
Again here we see the agape’ love of God in action. Even though God punishes wrong, even with his people, but when the adversary rises up against them to suppress them even more, God will, when He decides, come to their rescue. Satan is relentless at manipulating God’s people. He uses people against people. But don’t worry you righteous ones, God is on the move; be patient and see his deliverance. The willing, the humble, the obedient, shall eat the good of the land and God will withhold no good thing from His beloved.
-
In this scripture, I think we can capsulize the wisdom intended for humanity and particularly the people of God, by applying another scripture; which compounds the love of God, and that is: Galatians 6:7, Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. Also, we can not walk as other gentiles walk; in the vanity of there mind.
-
Selfishness can produce an unhealthy and harmful attitude. From this divine demonstration of compassion let us learn that the most effective way to perform the tasks set before us each is to simply follow instructions. And let’s be prudent enough to follow God’s instructions learned from the word of God by the directions of God’s spirit.
