Ephesians 4 - Praying God's Word

Please read Ephesians 4.

Meditate on verse 1.

Therefore I, the prisoner of the LORD, implore you to

walk in a manner worthy of the calling with

which you have been called.

The word calling is a very important part of Christian life.  Calling is used to describe those going into full-time ministry or missions.  For example, “He received a calling to preach.”  

In a much broader sense, calling is used to describe the activity of God drawing people to become Christians.  It is the purposeful action of God who calls you to come to Him (Ephesians 1:18).  Calling is not accidental like when you dial someone without knowing it on your cell phone.  It is very intentional.

Ephesians 4 gives a great picture of being intentionally called by God to salvation, to ministry, and to living a life consistent with the reputation of being part of God’s family.

You have been recruited, called, to be on God’s team as a member of His family.  This is the highest calling a person can have. 

Pray Ephesians 4:1-6 over yourself and those you love to be faithful to the calling of God.

“LORD, help ________ and me walk in a manner worthy of the

calling with which You have called us—

with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance

 for one another in love, being diligent to preserve the unity of the

Spirit in the bond of peace.  There is one body of Christ and one Spirit;

 just as we were called in one hope of Your calling,

 there is one LORD, one faith, and one baptism.

You are one God and Father who is over all and through all and in all.

In Your name, Jesus~”
