Weekly Pursuit – Week 2 of May
Verses:
Col. 1:9 “Therefore we also, since the day we heard of it, do not cease praying and asking on your behalf that you may be filled with the full knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding.”
Excerpts:
The entire book of Colossians tells us clearly about the will of God. According to God’s will, He caused all His fullness to dwell in Christ, giving Christ the first place in all things and causing Christ to be in us as our life and our all. We need to realize the fact that we are dead, buried, and raised with Christ and that we have put off the old man, Adam, and put on the new man, Christ. We also need to exercise to apply His death to the members of our body, let His peace arbitrate and govern in our hearts, and let His word dwell in us so that we express Him. In brief, the will of God is nothing other than Christ, who is all and in all. We must be clear that the will of God is for Christ to be everything to us. We need to possess Christ, experience Him, and apply Him in all things.
Pray for yourself, for the churches, and for the recovery of His will concerning the all-inclusive Christ and His genuine expression. Then we will know God’s will, know what we are pursuing, and know how to pray for the whole church. Moreover, we will know that God will recover the knowledge and experience of His eternal purpose, plan, and will in this age. We look to the Lord to burden us every day to pray for ourselves, for the saints, and for the recovery of this matter in these last days. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, pp. 489-490)
