Colossians
2:8-12 (KJV)
Beware lest
any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of
men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are
circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body
of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Buried with him in
baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation
of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
- God's children were created wholesome from the beginning and made complete in Christ. God made everyone fearfully and wonderfully, either married or SINGLE – Psalm 139:14.
- Having made complete in Christ, we are able to express the image of God through godly attributes.
- The fullness of God in our lives enables us to delight ourselves in Him and to trust Him at all times – Psalm 37:4-5.
*Perfect looks will not bring the
perfect man or lead to perfect marriage*
Prayers:
- Lord, help our singles to know that they are complete in Jesus Christ. Let them not be distracted by the philosophies of the world. Help them to see You and hear You clearly in the affairs of their lives. Let them be mindful of their completeness in Christ and unite them with the purpose of heaven in all their endeavour.
- Lord, please put an end to any process that is not of God in their lives. Help them to keep trusting and hoping in what only You can do for them. Renew their minds daily in Your Word and let them live everyday in the fullness of Christ.
- Lord, rid our singles of discouragements, pains, hurts and any perceived failure they might have experienced in any area of their lives. Revive Your work in them, and help them to seek to bless others while waiting.
