Living Our Christian Calling
(Prayer Walk thro Eph 1-3)

Backgrounder: The Ephesians
had unlimited spiritual wealth at
their disposal, yet they lived as
spiritual paupers. So Paul wrote
to encourage them to claim
their heavenly resources. Only
then could they draw on them for
their earthly walk. And In Christ,
Christians are endowed with every
spiritual blessing as well as adoptn,
redemption, inheritance and power.

Lord, thanks for giving wonderful
spiritual blessings to Your body.
Praise U for being not just Creator
and Sustainer but also head of
the church. Because You Christ is
central to everything, help us place
our priorities under Your control.
Lord, Enlighten Your Plans to us &
Help us Be Your Workmen, even
as we Adore Your Great Love. Amen

who had unlimited spiritual wealth
at their disposal, yet they lived as
spiritual paupers. So Paul wrote

heavenly resources & draw on them
for their earthly walk. In the 1st half
of his letter, the apostle outlines
the heavenly wealth – adoption,
redemption, inheritance & power.
In 2nd half, he shows the practical
applications of those doctrines.
Paul made it clear – believers are
not to have merely an earthly view
for God has given to us His riches.
