“A Struggle For Greatness, It Don’t Have To Be!” Philippians 3:12; Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. (Paul’s reflection here is to avoid the Hokey Pokey effect, in and out, until you shake it all about. It’s a struggle in the church today, to achieve that greatness: Galatians 1:6; I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: v7; Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. (This cause the in and out effect. You have a tendency to trouble you. Luke 22:31; And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. (Jesus call him Simon denotes where he has been.) v32; But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. (That converted, he’s calling him Peter. Denotes where he’s going.) “A Struggle For Greatness, It Don’t Have To Be!” 1 Peter 2:21; For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. John 21:1; After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. (Out Of Egypt Presence.) Philippians 3:7; But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. John 21:3; Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing. v4; But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. (The struggle for greatness it happens through the wilderness) Philippians 3:8; 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. “A Struggle For Greatness, It Don’t Have Have To Be!” John 21:5; Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. v6; And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find.

(Elijah here is reasoning with Elisha: Romans 6:16; Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?) “Be Finish With It, That Way!” 1 Kings 19:20; And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? (Here Elijah is saying, I didn’t come to confuse you, but for you to make a choice: Luke 16:13; No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (Something to you, that is worth more than him.)) “Be Finish With It, That Way!” 1 Kings 19:21; And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him. (He finished it where he wouldn’t be join to it, his way: 1 Corinthians 6:12; All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. Hebrews 12:14; Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.) “Be Finish With It, That Way!” 1 Corinthians 10:23; All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. “Be Finish With It, That Way” Teaching!

(A Work Site, a place where the Work Out Of Work begins; 1 Peter 5:6; Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: v7; Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.) “A Work Site, Work Out Of Work!” 1 Samuel 30:4;Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. v8; And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. (Become a supervisor of yourself; Philippians 2:12; Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Work Out Of Work; Luke 11:21; When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: v23; He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.) “A Work Site, Work Out Of Work!” Teaching!

(He is telling them the amount of time it should have taken, if they had continued in the Word.
