The Apostle Paul understood by revelation that in Christ, we are already blessed with all spiritual blessings. The Greek word for blessed (eulogeo) in this verse speaks of causing someone to prosper, to make one happy, to speak well of. The Apostle let us know that in Christ, we are not attempting to get blessed, or begging God to bless us. He is our loving Heavenly Father, and it pleased Him to bless us in Christ. But the highest blessing, or the true riches that He gave us is found in Colossians 1:27: ”To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory”. The true, lasting riches is Christ in you. If you have Christ in you, you have everything, and you are truly blessed beyond measure. He is the one that meets all your needs, according to His riches in Glory. Through Him, we are born again into the family of God. We are adopted into the Royal family, and as you know, the ones who get the inheritance are the sons and daughters!

Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ

Paul wrote in Ephesians 6:19 for fellow-believers to pray for him that Godly inspiration would be given to him. He also asked for boldness to preach the Gospel. Isn’t that interesting? The great apostle needed prayer for wisdom to speak, and for boldness to share his faith. This is what most of us go through today. This is not a new thing. It is God’s will and desire is that we share the Gospel, but it is an ongoing battle for most people. We daily battle the enemy of our souls who is constantly trying to shut down our witness. We battle embarrassment. We battle the thoughts of what people may think about us as believers. Having said that, this is another reason that we need to pray for each other. We need to pray in this day that God’s wisdom would flow through us mightily each and every day for the benefit of those around us that need to hear the Gospel. We also need prayer for daily boldness because the only way people will come to saving faith in Christ, is that someone preach to them. Pray therefore every day for inspiration and boldness. God will honor this prayer, and these kind of prayers please God because He sees that you desire to do His will, which is for everyone to hear the good news of the Gospel!

Ephesians 6:19 and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel.
