1. Resist the "me first" mentality and instead adopt an "others first" principle by putting the kingdom of God and others before yourself. When you do this, God will provide for your needs. 2. Embrace transformation by renewing your mind through God's word so that you can become a new creature in Christ and pass away from the old. 3. Maintain an elevated Christian attitude and enthusiasm by walking worthily before God with fruitfulness, increasing knowledge, and speaking the truth in love so that others can see Christ in you.
