Counting the Loss

SUBLIME KINGDOM LIGHT DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE. TOPIC: Counting the Loss TEXT: Philippians 3:8&9 KJV:Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith. INTRODUCTION For you to count gain in the Lord, you must first count loss of things outside the Lord. For in Christ is the real gain of life. MESSAGE There are things to count loss of, things to discard and things to count as refuse because of the right knowledge we now have in Christ. Everything we become in this "world", wisdom we had from the perspective belonging to the world. The things that attract the world to us and things we treasure and esteem high in the world, are things to count as loss. Because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ. There were days we live ignorantly with zeal and passion in order to receive the acceptance and accolades of the world. As a result, we laboured in flesh, we employed the standard of the world and pursued self righteousness. But now we have known better by the mercies of God. So how can we now acquire acceptance of God and live right with Him It's to do away with of flesh. To suffer loss of what person the world has made us to be. The pretence and pride of life. So that we may gain Christ and be found in Him. So that we may receive the approval of the Father. That we may also receive righteousness through faith I'm Christ Jesus. FOOD FOR THOUGHT To acquire approval of God requires rejection by the world. COUNSEL Discard every lifestyle that attracts the "world" to you that earns you her commendation. PROPHETIC DECLARATION. Every Attraction of the world that limit you from experiencing God's glory, be discarded from your life this moment in Jesus name 🙏🙏.
