Ephesians 4:1-6

Ephesians 4:1-6

Unity and maturity in the body of Christ
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

How to S.O.A.P.

Use your 21 Days of Prayer Journal, if you don't have one you can do this with a piece of paper.

S — SCRIPTURE  - Which verse stood out to you?
Listen to the reading for today again a couple of times and allow God to speak to you. Is there a verse that particularly stands out? If so, write it in your journal.

O — OBSERVATION - What is God saying to you?
What do you feel God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal something to you.

A — APPLICATION - How can you apply it today?
Personalise what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to your life. Perhaps it is an instruction, an encouragement, a new promise, or corrections for a particular area of your life. Write how this scripture can apply to you today.

P — PRAYER - Ask God to help you use what you’ve learned.
This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or even a prayer for a greater insight on what the Spirit may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, so also listen to what God has to say! Now, write it out.
