In this message from Colossians 1:9–14, Collins Peter unpacks the Apostle Paul’s prayer for the believers at Colossae. Paul’s request is not for material wealth or earthly success, but for a deeper filling of God’s will, wisdom, and spiritual understanding. Collins emphasizes four key elements of spiritual prosperity:
Walking worthy of the Lord – living in a way that pleases God.
Fruitfulness in every good work – allowing God’s Spirit to bear lasting fruit through us.
Growing in the knowledge of God – pursuing an intimate, personal walk with Him.
Strengthened by His power – enduring trials with patience, joy, and thanksgiving.
The message points to Christ as the one who has delivered us from darkness, redeemed us by His blood, and brought us into the kingdom of light. True prosperity, Collins explains, is found in living a life centered on Christ, strengthened by Him, and overflowing with gratitude.
