even though they are strangers to you. They have told the church

about your love. You will do well to send them on their way in a

manner worthy of God. It was for the sake of the Name that they went

out, receiving no help from the pagans. We ought therefore to show

hospitality to such men so that we may work together for the truth.

(III. John 5-8).

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

to pray and make special request for you, asking that you may be filled

with the full knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom (in comprehensive

insight into the ways and purposes of God) and in understanding and

That you may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him

and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord,

appeal  to and beg you to walk worthy

of the divine calling to which you have

been called (with behavior that is a

credit to the summons to God’s service.

(Ephesians 4.1).

POINTS FOR PRAISE

AND MEDITATION

1) St. Paul considers himself the prisoner

of the Lord. This is not to indicate lack

of freedom. On the contrary our freedom

is God’s freedom. We enter into God’s

freedom. Where the Spirit of the Lord is

there is freedom.

2)This in essence is the summons to

joy and freedom.

3)St. Paul is set in His course for His life

thoroughly committed to God’s way.

4) God’s way of life is His lifestyle, to

live a life worthy of the divine calling to

which we have been called, to His glory,

not seeking our own, but seeking His way

of life.

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!

with our spirit that we are children

of God.

And if children, then heirs also,

heirs of God and joint heirs with

Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him,

that we may also be glorified together.

For I consider that the sufferings of

this present time are not worth being

compared with the glory which shall

be revealed in us.

( Romans 8.16-18).

INSPIRATION

Meditate on the following:

1) The Holy Spirit testifies together with

our spirit that we are God’s children.

2)Since we are children of God, everything

ultimately and essentially belongs to us.

3) We are joint heirs with Christ, because

we are in Christ and we are God’s children.

3) Jesus Christ suffered and we also suffer,

however the sufferings of this life are not

worthy to be compared to the glory which

will be revealed in us.

4) These verses put the notions of property,

wealth,resources and riches in a totally new

light.

5) These verses also shed significant light on

the human condition, providing a new

perspective on the predicament of pain

and suffering not previously found in other

teachings.

That you may walk worthy of the Lord,

fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every

good work and increasing in the knowledge

of God

Strengthened with all might according to His

power for all patience and longsuffering with joy

Giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us

to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in

the light.

( Colossians 1.10-11).
