Follow the Whole Will of God

Epaphras, a member of your own fellowship and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends you his greetings. He always prays earnestly for you, asking God to make you strong and perfect, fully confident that you are following the whole will of God. - Colossians 4:12.


There are at least three things to note in this scripture; Epaphras, whose name means "lovely, charming, handsome" was a Colossian. He "represented". He was fully confident that his fellow church members were following the whole will of God.

Secondly, He was a servant of the Lord Jesus. Apostle Paul testified to the fact that brother Epaphras served Yeshua.

Thirdly, Epaphras was prayerful. Rabbi Sh'aul declared that Epaphras prayed earnestly... what a testimony! The content of his prayer is also lovely, like his name.

So beloved, like Epaphras prayed, I pray that Adonai will make you strong and perfect, and that you will choose to follow the whole will of God in Jesus name!
