Memory Verse: Colossians 1:11. Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;
Bible Reading: Colossians 1:8-10. Key Verse:v9.
Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit. For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Apostle Paul had a burden for the Colosian believers and had to reach out to them to make sure that they didn’t fall prey to false teachers. He wanted them to understand the Christ they believed in and what it takes to be fruitful in him. What he told them yesterday, he is telling us today. The first thing here is that we must have the right knowledge of the God we serve. By this, we can be filled with his wisdom as a result of operating in understanding. It takes understanding to take the best advantage of every opportunity or relationship in life. “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:” 2 Peter 1:2-3.
The next thing we need to be fruitful in him is the power of the Holy Spirit working inside us, because without him, we can do nothing. The Holy Spirit makes the wisdom and strength of God available to us for supernatural results. “That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,” Ephesians 3:16-17,20.
On a last note, another key to fruitfulness here is to be patient through trying times and with joy. It’s good to point out here that our rejoicing before the Lord when things go our way has little or no weight before the Lord. The rejoicing that counts much before the Lord is that we engage in, in difficult times. This can only be possible when we are truly submitted to the Lord unconditionally. Patience in times of trouble is key to outstanding testimonies most times. “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:35-36,38.
Prayer: Thank you Father God because it is your will that I keep bearing fruits in you, fruits that stand the test of time. I receive the grace to know you the more. As I walk with you in wisdom, understanding and patience, uncommon testimonies will be my lifestyle in Jesus’ blessed name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading: Acts 5:17-42.
