Monday, October 1st, 2007 – Pleasing Him

Hello everyone,
How are you doing on this wonderful Nigeria’s independence day? Yup, its already October 1, 2007 – it was not too long ago that people were doing New Year resolutions. One of the prayers that quite struck me over these past few days, is one from Colossians 1v10, where Paul is praying for believers in the church in Colosse, and he prays …

“That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;”

Isn’t it wonderful if the Lord is saying of us all the time that ah, this My daughter, or this My son, is just pleasing Me all the time, that the way he or she walks, is indeed worthy of the child of the Most High. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were fruitful in every good work i.e. not that we are just doing good works, but we are also fruitful in them? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we just keep increasing in the knowledge of God –

And so today, even as Paul prayed o so long ago, we also pray that Father, may we walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God, to the glory of God, in Jesus name, amen.

- May we make this a daily prayer.
