Charles Finney emphasizes the significance of having a 'single eye' versus an 'evil eye' in our spiritual lives. A single eye represents a mind focused solely on God, leading to clarity, truth, and a deep understanding of duty, while an evil eye reflects a selfish mindset that results in darkness and delusion regarding doctrine and duty. Finney explains that true knowledge and communion with God stem from a state of entire consecration, whereas selfishness clouds judgment and understanding, making the Bible unintelligible. He warns that a selfish minister can mislead their congregation, as they lack spiritual insight. Ultimately, Finney calls for a return to a single-minded devotion to God to dispel darkness and promote unity within the Church.

F.B. Meyer emphasizes Nehemiah's humble plea to God to be remembered for his faithful service, highlighting that this request is not about earning God's favor but about desiring that his works be acknowledged. Nehemiah's actions, such as purifying the temple, preserving the Sabbath, and maintaining the purity of God's people, serve as a model for believers today. Meyer encourages the church to seek similar consecration, inner peace, and separation from worldly influences, asserting that even ordinary individuals can be instruments of God's purposes. He calls for personal reflection to ensure that our lives align with these principles, allowing us to confidently intercede for others. Ultimately, the sermon inspires believers to live in a way that honors God and seeks His remembrance.

Hudson Taylor reflects on the profound blessings of God as articulated in Numbers 6:22-27, emphasizing that true consecration to God opens the door to His abundant blessings. He explains that while the privilege of priestly service was lost, anyone could draw near to God through Nazarite separation, highlighting the importance of surrendering one's will to receive divine favor. Taylor illustrates this with the parable of the prodigal son, showing that true joy and restoration come from returning to the Father. He elaborates on the three-fold benediction, representing the blessings from the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and concludes with the significance of being sealed with God's name, which signifies belonging and divine favor.

Charles Finney emphasizes the necessity of entire sanctification of body, soul, and spirit, urging believers to fully consecrate their entire being to God. He explains that true sanctification involves the subjugation of bodily appetites and passions to serve God, rather than allowing them to dominate one's life. Finney warns against the dangers of indulgence in unhealthy habits and stresses the importance of understanding the physiological laws governing our bodies to achieve spiritual and physical health. He concludes by asserting that the Church's failure to attain sanctification stems from a lack of belief in its attainability, and he calls for a revival of understanding regarding Christ's role as an indwelling Savior. Ultimately, he encourages believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices, trusting in God's faithfulness to sanctify them wholly.
