COLOSSIANS 4
2 Give a lot of time and effort to
prayer. Always be watchful and
thankful. 3 Pray for us too. Pray that
God will give us an opportunity to
preach our message. Then we can
preach the mystery of Christ. Because
I preached it, I am being held by
chains. 4 Pray that I will preach it
clearly, as I should.
ALWAYS BE WATCHFUL
AND THANKFUL.
Apostle Paul
WE SHOULD FIND IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO RUN OUT OF THINGS TO PRAY!
NEVER STOP PRAYING
1 THESSALONIANS 5:17
“THINKING ABOUT GOD IS
BEING WITH GOD. BEING
WITH GOD IS SPIRITUALITY.
THINKING ABOUT GOD IS
PRAYING.”

5 Be wise in the way you act toward
outsiders. Make the most of every
opportunity. 6 Let the words you
speak always be full of grace. Learn
how to make your words what people
want to hear. Then you will know how
to answer everyone.

THE DEGREE TO
WHICH A CHRISTIAN
HAS TRULY BEEN
DRENCHED WITH
GOD’S GRACE WILL
DETERMINE NOT JUST
HOW MUCH SHE OR
HE CAN DESCRIBE IT,
BUT ALSO
OVERFLOW WITH IT
TO SOMEONE WHO
ALSO MAY CLEARLY
NOT DESERVE IT
GRACE CREATES
OPPORTUNITIES
FOR THE GOSPEL TO
BE HEARD
HOW DID THE GRACE
OF GOD CREATE THE
OPPORTUNITY
FOR YOU TO OPEN
THE DOOR OF YOUR
HEART TO JESUS?
INTERESTED IN MORE
OPPORTUNITIES
TO BE AND BRING THE
GOOD NEWS?
PRAY FOR THEM.
