Philippians 2:
Do nothing with self ambition
or for vanity, but rather be humble and be united in Christ in love and Spirit.
Put community before self and greed in order to be Christ-like.
Jesus was God by nature, yet made himself a servant for man and was obedient to
death, even on a cross or tree (a curse or an abomination). God elevated Jesus
above all things created and all shall bow before him and confess that Jesus is
Lord to God's glory. It is God who works in us to carry out God's will
and action for God's purpose. Accomplish everything without
complain or arguing so that you will be blameless as God's children is a
wayward generation and shine like stars of the universe. One who only looks
out for himself is not of God or Jesus. A pastor, gospel singer, or
Jesus lover who never gives, shares willingly, and always does things for self
and never for community interest is not of God.
Philippians 3:
It is good to repeat yourself
in order to emphasize what is important to others. Be careful of evildoers
and those who profit merely for the flesh. We are the ones who worship God
in the Spirit, glorify Jesus, and have no regards for things of the flesh.
Every accomplishment of the flesh is a waste and vanity compared to knowing
Jesus - occupation, income, race, children, education, influence, power, or
nationality are ultimately irrelevant. Earthly accomplishment is
regulated by human laws, but righteousness that comes from faith in Jesus Christ
is from God. Our goal is to be Christ-like, which is knowing the
power of the resurrection of the dead, fellowship in suffering for Christ
(shunned for being unique), becoming like him in death (dying in godly nobility
and in truth), and attaining the reward of resurrection (for eternal life).
Many are enemies of Christ and are destined for destruction. Their god is
their stomach (selfish ambition based on greed), their minds are settled on
earthly things (money, power, promotion, titles, & influence), and their glory
is their eventual shame. We are citizens of heaven awaiting Jesus to put
everything under his control so that we can be elevated to be glorified with
him.

Philippians 4:
Rejoice in God and be gentle
always. Do not be anxious about any worldly thing (job, money,
promotion, relationship, owning a home, or imprisonment), but make your request
to God in prayer and thanksgiving. The peace of God that understands
all things will guide your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ. Practice
whatever is true, pure, noble, right, lovely, admirable, excellent, as well as
praiseworthy, and the God of peace will be with you (stay away from people
who say that there is nothing right, no truth, do not judge, or every and
anything is relative. That is the foundation of satanic attack to
derail your life way from God).
