PRAYER Part 2 Colossians 1:10

Verse 9 the apostle writes, "we 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:" and there is a good reason to prayer for each other and for ourselves notice verse 10.

1. That you may walk, or your lifestyle, be worthy of the Lord fully pleasing Him."

We as disciples of Christ are to live a lifestyle that is a reflection of Christ. The word disciple means, a follower of another, or imitator of another. In this case we are to imitate Jesus Christ with our lifestyle. What was His lifestyle like? Of course Jesus was blameless, but He was more. As we study the Gospels we find Him, loving, kind, forgiving, compassion, honest and many more things than I can type in this space. Have you prayed and ASK God to help you "walk, or live

worthy of the Lord fully pleasing Him?" What about praying for others? What about your children, grandchildren have you ask God to give them spiritual understanding so that they "may walk, or live worth of the Lord fully pleasing Him.?" We should encourage every believer to live a life to grow in the knowledge of God in their Christian Walk.

2. We should pray that we may be Fruitful in every good work. verse 10.

What is the fruit of another believer? It is another believer. Matthew 28:19 Jesus said, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations..." Acts 1:8 Jesus said, " and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."

3. Pray for increasing in the knowledge of God: v. 10

How much do we really know about God? Do we know, that, "God CANNOT LIE"?

I will just ask, "how much do you really know about God?" How much do you really want to know about Him? I know from personal experience that increasing knowledge of God comes from Studying His Word and having a daily personal relationship with Him.

I hope that you will pray for others, including your family and friends, that they will walk or live a life worth of the Lord that they will be fruitful and increase in the knowledge of God.
