KEEP MOVING
Sermon by Pastor Rose Mulama
Date: 7th December 2025
Venue: City Sanctuary Church
Key Text: Philippians 3:12–14
Philippians 3:12–14
Paul redirected brothers and sisters in Philippi not to focus on his external achievements, because he still had a goal which he was still straining reach.
We too must have a goal — because we were not created just to eat, sleep, and then die. God created us for a purpose , for something greater.
Don’t be content with what you have, who you are, or what people say.
No matter what you’ve achieved, keep pressing on to higher heights.
Don’t stagnate or remain in one place forever.
Even a small step forward is a step forward.
keep moving — keep going.
✔️ God leads the righteous from glory to glory.
✔️ Their journey becomes clearer, brighter, and better.
Even when clouds cover the sun, they cannot stop it from rising.
And the cloud won’t last forever — it will pass.
In the same way, challenges may come — in business, in family, or in life — but they are not permanent.
Proverbs 4:18
As long as you’re righteous, the light God has placed on your path will keep shining brighter and brighter.
What you’re facing is temporary — your path is destined to shine to the full light of day.
If you want to reach your goal, forget what happened.
Forget the clouds of life.
Don’t let them slow you down or hinder you.
Psalm 84:5–7
If you’re righteous, you must go from glory to glory, from strength to strength there is no reverse gear
Unless you backslide, growth is your portion.
Pastor Rose loved the part where the sons of Korah said, “as they pass through the Valley of Baca, springs come.”
This means that as righteous people passing through challenges, we overcome.
We don’t die there we emerge victorious.
And our testimony becomes a spring for others still in their valleys.
Great things are seen when we keep moving.
Hebrews 10:38–39
And Scripture is clear.God is not pleased, not delighted, and has no pleasure in us if we shrink back .
That means we have no other option but to press on.
We must keep moving, keep going, and keep walking by faith because shrinking back is not our portion.
We belong to those who believe, those who advance, those who grow, and those who keep going until the goal is reached.
For us, there is no reverse gear only forward, only progress.
