3:8 (Philippians) “More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ,”

‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ 

Lord God, when we see You as You are, when we realize that You are the Creator of All, and all things came into being by You, and You uphold all things by the Word of Your power, everything else we have valued so far become so insignificant. You are inviting us to Life eternal in You and with You. We have the opportunity to receive the Son’s life by believing Christ Jesus is who He says He is. Nothing else matters. So, we know that Your enemy has done everything to cheat man out of His greatest blessing. He tried in the garden of Eden and he continues to do so in every corner of this world. We ask, Lord God, that the people of Japan see You as You are. Remove the hindrances and the stumbling blocks to the blessedness of knowing Christ Jesus our Lord. We agree with Paul’s declaration. Nothing else in this world can compare to You. And for the remainder of our lives, our one desire is to gain more of You. In the precious name of Jesus we pray.
