PRAY FOR THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM & REVELATION OF CHRIST

Ephesians 1:15-17 (NIV), Philippians 3:10 (GNB)

For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. *All I want is to know Christ…

The only way to know God is by knowing Christ (John 14:6), and we cannot know Christ on our own. We need the Spirit of God to help us know and understand Christ and the things of God, (1Cor.2:14). This is why we must continually pray the prayer of Paul in our first text above. In the New Living Translation, Ephesians 1:16-17 says, “I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God.” The Living Bible says, “I have never stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you wisdom to see clearly and really understand who Christ is and all that he has done for you.”

The more you know Christ, the more you will know yourself because you are one with Him. The more you know Him, the more you will be transformed by the Spirit to be like Him, (2Cor.3:18). The more you know Christ and all He has done for you, the more you will experience and manifest His glory. Until we have come into the fullness of Christ in all areas of our lives, we must not stop praying this prayer. Let there be a burning desire in you to grow in your knowledge of Christ. That is the only way you will constantly pray this prayer.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, please give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation that I may know Christ and grow in my knowledge of Him.
