“Excel in Spirit-Led Ambition”

“Excel in Spirit-Led Ambition”

Blessings folk!

Excel!
In walking well with the Lord.

Excel!
In proclaiming the gospel.

Excel!
In turning away from idols to the Living God.

Excel!
In love for one another.

Such can not be done in the flesh.
It is done in the power of the Spirit dwelling within each true believer.

We stopped in the middle of a sentence yesterday…read the full statement…

1 Th 4:9-12
Now as to the love of the brethren, you have no need for anyone to write to you,
for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

for indeed you do practice it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia.
But we urge you, brethren, to excel still more,

and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,

so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need.

Excel in correct ambition.
Ambition to lead a quiet life.
To attend to your own business.
To work with your hands.
Paul had instructed them in this.

He wanted them to behave properly.
He wanted them to not be in need.
He wanted them to not be dependent upon the world or each other.

Excel!
May our ambition be under the authority of the Spirit!
