Use them well to serve one another.” - 1 Peter 4:10 (NLT) “But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.” - Acts 20:24 (NLT) READ Ephesians 1:1-5 (NLT); Ephesians 2:10 (AMPC); Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV) & Ephesians 1:17-19 (NIV) 1. ASK FOR THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION • "Spirit of Wisdom": This refers to the Holy Spirit's role in imparting wisdom, which is not just knowledge but also the ability to apply that knowledge to live a life pleasing to God. • "Revelation": Paul prays for a revelation, or unveiling, of God's mysteries and plan, allowing the Ephesians to see things from God's perspective. 2. ASK FOR YOUR EYES OF YOUR HEART BE ENLIGHTENED • “Eyes of your heart": This phrase refers to a spiritual understanding or perception, not a physical ability to see. It's about having a heart that is open and receptive to God's truth and revelation. • "Be Enlightened": The Greek word translated as "enlightened" means to be "illuminated" or "to shine a light on something". Paul is praying that God would shine a light on the hearts of believers, so they can see and understand spiritual truths. 3. ASK FOR THE HOPE OF HIS CALLING AND THE RICHES OF HIS GLORIOUS INHERITANCE • "The hope of his calling"” • This phrase emphasizes the certainty and assurance believers have in their salvation, rooted in God's purposeful and eternal plan. • It signifies that believers are not just hoping for something, but have a firm foundation in God's promises and actions. • "The riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints": • This phrase highlights the abundant and glorious blessings that God has prepared for those who are in Christ, often referred to as "the saints". • "Inheritance" here refers to the eternal life and blessings that believers are destined to receive in heaven, and material possessions on earth. • "Riches" and "glory" emphasize the immeasurable and abundant nature of these blessings, surpassing anything imaginable. • It's a reminder that God's provision for believers is not limited or ordinary, but is rich, abundant, and glorious.
