Philippians 3:13-14
The Apostle Paul writes in Philippians 3:13-14
“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead.”
” I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
Inspiration.
Apostle Paul is saying that he forgets those things from the past, and now reach forward to those things that are ahead – Heavenly things.
And he press on, the Christian life is our race and the prize is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
Prayer (for you)
Heavenly Father,
I give You thanks and praise for Your Plan of Salvation, Your amazing saving grace, that saves to the uttermost anyone who comes to You through faith seeking salvation.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being the Lamb of God, Who takes away the sins of the world.
Please help me as I journey along the Christian pathway, and I ask for Your leading, direction and guidance from day to day.
O Lord, I need You every hour to resist temptation, and to deliver me from anything that is not pleasing to You.
Please help me to be pleasing to You in all my ways.
And help me to forget those things that are behind me, and keep reaching toward those things that are ahead, so that I can reach the goal, and win the prize of eternal life through Jesus Christ, my Saviour.
O Lord, I give You thank, praise and all the honour and glory that You deserve.
Help me to keep pressing and endure to the end, because Your Holy Scriptures says, ” that those who endure to the end will be saved.”
O Lord, I surely want to be saved, and see You face to face, my Saviour and my Creator God.
Thank You for Your Infinite love, tender mercies and compassions to me.
I love and adore You.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
Hymn.
Sing the wondrous love of Jesus.
Sing His mercy and His grace.
In the mansions, bright and blessed.
He’s prepared for us a place.
Chorus.
When we all get to Heaven.
What a day of rejoicing that will be.
When we all see Jesus.
We will sing and shout, the victory.
2.
While we walk the pilgrim pathway.
Clouds will over spread the skies.
But when travelling days are over.
Not a shadow, not a sigh.
3.
Let us then be true and faith.
Trusting, serving every day.
Just a glimpse of Him in glory.
Will the toils of life repay.
4.
Onward to the prize before us.
Soon His beauty we will behold.
Soon the pearly gates will open.
We shall tread the streets of gold.
Chorus.
When we all get to heaven.
What a day of rejoicing that will be.
When we all see Jesus.
We will sing and shout, the victory.
