Colossians 1:9-14
Dear Brethren,
Good morning!
Praying for other Christians is both a privilege and a responsibility. If you are in fellowship with your heavenly Father, then you should be praying for other Christians. The apostle Paul prayed often for his brethren. Paul exercised his responsibility to pray for fellow Christians.
One such example of Paul praying for other Christians is Paul's prayer for the brethren in Colosse. In this prayer, Paul prayed for the following:
1. That the brethren would be "filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding."
2. That the brethren would "walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him."
3. That the brethren would be "fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."
4. That the brethren would be "strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy."
5. That the brethren would give thanks to the Father.
As we examine our lives and our relationship with other Christians, we should question the frequency of our prayers on the behalf of other Christians. Paul said that he and others did not "cease to pray" for the brethren in Colosse. Can we make the same statement about our prayers for other saints?
Here is Colossians 1:9-14 presented for your consideration and meditation.
Colossians 1:9-14.
9 For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;
10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy;
12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,
14 in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
In Love,
John Duvall
