S - 14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your heartsthrough faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
O/A - Paul prays this beautiful prayer for the Ephesians and as we read it, it becomes a prayer for us also :
1. Strengthen us with power thru His spirit in our inner being ( to fight fleshly desires)
2. For Christ to dwell in us through Faith ( strong Faith)
3. Be rooted and established in Love ( unconditional love)
4. Have power together with Lord Holy ppl (unity among brethren)
5. For love that surpasses knowledge
6. To be filled to the measure of all fullness of God
Each verse is so strong and tell us of His will in our life - to be a deeply rooted Christian who cannot be pulled out by the desires of this world. We cannot comprehend the depth, height, width and length of His love but only by His power bestowed on us. His love that fills us is above all the knowledge we have and fills us with measure of fullness of God.
P - Heavenly loving father, What a beautiful prayer you have shown me in this verses. Enable me also to pray in the same manner - to be filled with you to the brim, to be overflowing with your love, to be strong in my faith, to operate in this world by your power. I cannot love all with my effort but wen your love fills me, I can love everyone. Enable me to share this love with many others. I always doubted in my knowledge and efforts but you clearly prove here that ur love surpasses all knowledge and I will trust in this alone.
All this I ask in your holy and everlasting name
️Amen
