Dear brothers and sisters,I was wondering if you had prayed this prayer for your fellow brothers and sisters like how the apostle Paul prayed for the saints in Ephesus. For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.Ephesians 1:15-23 NIV1. Praying for the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation, to know Him better. 2. Praying for the eyes of the heart to be enlightened to know i.) the hope that which He has called ii.)the riches of his glorious inheritance iii.) His incomparable great PowerBrothers and sisters, like how Paul prayed this prayer for the believers in Ephesus let us pray for the believers in your city, country and around the world. God bless you,

There is nothing more powerful than praying the Word of God, because the Word will not come back void.. The Word is the sword of the Spirit our offensive weapon.“
