ABUNDANCE THROUGH UNITY
Pouring Out From Abundance #5
Rev. Charles Lee
1. STRIVING TOGETHER AGAINST THE COMMON ENEMY.
Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened in anything by your opponents. (Philippians 1:27-28)
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:10-12)
For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility… that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility…… 17 And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. (Ephesians 2:14-16, 17)

2. GROWING TOWARDS HUMBLE MINDSET.
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy (Philippians 2:1)
I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord. Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life. (Philippians 4:2-3)
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy—by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. (Philippians 2:1-2)
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. (Philippians 2:3-4)
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit (Philippians 2:3)

3. BEING SATURATED WITH THE MINDSET OF CHRIST.
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5)
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped (Philippians 2:5-6)
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped––but he emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant (slave), being born in the likeness of men (Philippians 2:5-7)
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped––but he emptied (poured out) himself, by taking the form of a servant (slave), being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Philippians 2:5-8)
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5)
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-10)
