“Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.”
Colossians 4:12 KJV
Epaphras, who is also fruit of your ministry, salutes you. What a diligent worker of Christ he is, always labouring on your behalf with great intensity in his prayers. His desire for you is to stand strong in the full accomplishment of Christ and to be fully persuaded in God’s purpose for your lives. God has many who are in Christ today, who, like Epaphras are in selfless intercession for others, in the Church. Let’s shift our focus from our own needs and wants and pray with a passion for others’ welfare and building up the Body of Christ. Let’s pray that those the Lord brings into our purview, may fulfil God’s purpose for their lives. Jesus gave Himself for all humanity that we might give ourselves for others. Jesus is able to save fully from now throughout eternity, everyone who comes to God through Him, because He lives to pray continually for them. He is the High Priest who perfectly fits our need—holy, without a trace of evil, without the ability to deceive, incapable of sin, and exalted beyond the heavens! Let’s agree with Jesus’s intercession in heaven. Amen!
