“Word for Today” with Ptr Rolly Custodio: What Paul Prayed For
‘…we have not stopped praying for you…’ Colossians 1:9
TODAY’S THOUGHTS
When it came to those he loved, notice what Paul prayed for:
1) That they would understand the will of God. ‘Asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.’ Rome was not an easy place to be a Christian, yet Paul wrote: ‘Everyone has heard about your obedience…’ (Romans 16:19 NIV). Obedience to God’s will should be your number one priority. When your name is mentioned, no one should have any doubt as to the level of your commitment to Jesus.
2) That their lives would be pleasing to God. ‘That you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way…’ (Colossians 1:10 NIV). When you stand before God to be rewarded you won’t hear the words ‘well said’ or ‘well planned’ but, ‘…”Well done, good and faithful servant…”‘ (Matthew 25:21 NKJV).
3) That they would prosper in the work God had given them. ‘…bearing fruit in every good work…’ (Colossians 1:10 NIV). Nothing brings joy to the heart of a parent like seeing their child succeed. And God feels the same way about you.
4) That they would persevere by drawing on His strength. ‘Being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance…’ (Colossians 1:11 NIV). Like a light bulb, you depend on power from another source. So unless you stay connected to God you’ll be spiritually weak.
5) That they would praise God. ‘Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints…’ (Colossians 1:12 NIV). In other words, live with an attitude of gratitude and a heart of praise.
Apply This To Your Life Today
The question is As Christian how we pray for them? Do we show love for our brethren and unbelievers by praying for them or we are like hypocrites prentending to be holy but our heart are full of negatives and condemnation. God would never bless us if we will not show love to our brethren and unbelievers.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, Thank you for your unconditional love for us. Thank you that while we were still sinners you send your Son Jesus Chirst to die in our behalf so that we may inherit eternal life. I bless you today Lord for loving and forgiving us so that our life will experience an abundant life, peace and joy by obeying You. In Jesus name. Amen.
PRAYER FOR SALVATION
Father in heaven I admit that I am a sinner, I repent of all my sins and accept your Son Jesus Christ as my personal Lord & Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer from the bottom of your heart you are now saved, it is God’s… promise in John 3:16 – that if you trust His Son (Jesus) you will not perish or die but you will have ETERNAL LIFE. To develop your FAITH look for a local Bible Based Church in your area and serve God first place in your life I promise you that if you do that God will take you to a place that you have never dream of and your life will never be the same again. Congratulations and God bless you!
