Father, thank You for Your master plan toward reaching the Gentiles. Thank You for delegating Your grace to Paul to walk out Your purpose. Thank You that, because of Your Grace, I was called by name to become of Your household through Christ and the spirit of adoption. Thank You for grafting the nations into one body, through one Lord, one faith and one salvation by You, the One God Father of all. You are above all, through all and in all. (From Ephesians 4: 4-5 NKJV)
There is no God like You, who goes out for the salvation of Your people. Holy Spirit, give me the words to speak of this to those who don’t know You. Let the love You feel for them flow through me to touch the hurting and broken places in the hearts and souls that only You can mend. I ask in the name and authority of the One sent to bind up the wounds and care for the brokenhearted, Jesus, according to your good and perfect will. Amen.
“For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for you Gentiles— if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you, how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I have briefly written already, by which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets: that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel, of which I became a minister according to the gift of the grace of God given to me by the effective working of His power.” (Ephesians 3: 1-7 NKJV)
