📖.....That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10).

There’s so much to learn from this prayer of the Spirit through the Apostle Paul. It gives us an idea of a true and balanced Christian life—an excellent life.
It says that you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.
That's extraordinary; it reveals God’s will for you as a Christian.
That's extraordinary; it reveals God’s will for you as a Christian.
He wants your daily life to be worthy of Him—walking in His righteousness and pleasing Him in all things.
Jesus always pleased the Father; He said in John 8:29, “And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.”
It should be your life’s work to always and only do those things that please the Father. Along with this, he says, “being fruitful in every good work.”
It should be your life’s work to always and only do those things that please the Father. Along with this, he says, “being fruitful in every good work.”
Think about the kind of life where you’re fruitful in every good work. That’s what we have in Christ Jesus—an excellent life.
It reminds of the words of the Psalmist in Psalm 1:3: “...he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
That’s not all; as you’re walking worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him in all things and fruitful in every good work, He also wants you to increase in the knowledge of God.
That’s not all; as you’re walking worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him in all things and fruitful in every good work, He also wants you to increase in the knowledge of God.
There’re people who, even though are doing well in their work, aren't increasing in the knowledge of God. No! He wants your life to be balanced.
Don’t let it be that your job or business distracted you from giving time to prayer, studying the Scriptures, and growing in the things of God.

*CHECK YOUR HEART*
_(Examine The State Of Your Heart)_
*TO THE BIBLE:*
*1 Samuel 16:7 AMPC*
_“…The Lord said to Samuel, Look not on his appearance or at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees; for man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.”_
*LET’S TALK*
Scripture tells us that God looks at the heart; He discerns the thoughts and intents of your heart.

*LET’S TALK*
Scripture tells us that God looks at the heart; He discerns the thoughts and intents of your heart.
He wants you to always carry out a heart-appraisal and rid it of anything that’s inconsistent with the divine nature in you. Always, He wants to see love and humility in your heart.
He doesn’t want you to look at or treat anyone with disdain. He wants you to be humble enough to believe in others; believe that the Lord can use them as much as He can use you.
Perhaps in your family, school, or church, someone does something remarkable that’s being commended; don’t sneer in disdain. Genuinely celebrate others for their accomplishments.
Learn to sincerely bless the Lord, praise, and worship Him when He does something remarkable in another person’s life.
Learn to sincerely bless the Lord, praise, and worship Him when He does something remarkable in another person’s life.
When it seems others are esteemed above you, it shouldn’t hurt you; be full of joy for them. Another person’s success doesn’t mean that you’re failing.
Therefore, celebrate the success of others. When God sees such love and humility in your heart, He’ll promote you. He exalts the humble.
No matter what God does through us, He never wants us to be proud. Be proud of Him and what He’s made of you.
No matter what God does through us, He never wants us to be proud. Be proud of Him and what He’s made of you.
Be proud of His glory in your life, but never exalt yourself above someone else.
Romans 12:3 RSV says, *“For by the grace given to me I bid every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him.”*
The tenth verse says, *“Love one another with brotherly affection; outdo one another in showing honor”* (RSV).

The Bible says, *“By humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and life”* (Proverbs 22:4). Hallelujah!
Be that man or woman who’s known for being loving, gracious, excellent, and humble.
*GO DEEPER*
Philippians 2:3; 1 Peter 5:5-6; 2 Chronicles 12:12
*SPEAK*
_I’m loving, gracious, excellent, humble, and kind! I see and celebrate God’s beauty, glory, and greatness in others.

In all that I do, my motives are right and void of selfishness.
I rejoice genuinely at the exploits and successes of others and refuse to compare myself with anyone, knowing that I’m unique and that my life is for the glory of God! Hallelujah!_

You became a Christian by “talking”. That means the Christian life is not a quiet one; it’s a ‘life of talking’.
You’ve got to say what God has said about you and speak it forth with boldness and in faith.
Just as you believed in your heart and confessed with your mouth that Jesus is your Lord and Saviour to become born again, you’ve got to apply the same principle to enjoy God’s blessings.

So, make bold faith-filled confessions often, for this is how to live victoriously every day.
