Beware of Looking Back at Past SuccessThe speaker warns against the danger of looking back at one's accomplishments or ministry success with pride, noting that Satan wants believers to dwell on these things.
The Example of the Apostle PaulThe apostle Paul considered everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus as Lord, treating earthly losses as rubbish.
A Deep Personal Connection with JesusBelievers must maintain a personal, daily relationship with Jesus Christ that is deeper than their connection to any church, institution, or religious leaders.
Loving Christ Above Family and Earthly TiesJesus taught that to be His disciple, one must love Him more than father, mother, wife, children, or any family member.
Forgetting What Is BehindPaul forgot his accomplishments and pressed forward toward the goal for the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
The New Covenant Family LifeWhile Old Testament figures like Abraham and David struggled with flawed family lives, the new covenant kingdom enables believers to manifest godly home life.
Warning Against Unfaithfulness in MalachiThe Old Testament closes with Malachi warning against unfaithfulness to wives and failing to raise godly children, which hindered God from hearing their prayers.
Putting the Old Man to Death on the CrossChrist not only took our sins but crucified our old nature, enabling believers to live in love and demonstrate heavenly homes.
The Necessity of Being Filled with the Holy SpiritBeing forgiven of sins and being filled with the Holy Spirit are equally important so that believers can live out Christ's life and build godly homes.
