Scripture: John 17:10,11
Verses 10 and 11 deserve a whole day all to themselves because in knowing God we find the unity of the Spirit and the unity of the saints. Verses 10 and 11 say, “And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.” Jesus made a dramatic statement in verse 10 when He said, “…all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.” What He was really saying is “You can tell the level of the job that I have done by looking at those whom I’ve discipled. The degree of success that I enjoy over what I did in My assignment on the earth is not measured by My personal accomplishment, but is measured by those who received the teaching, acted on it and what it produced in their lives.” So we tell how well we’re doing by looking at the condition of the people who listen and act on the things we minister. Our success or failure is resident in the lives of the people to which we teach and minister. Jesus was very clear about this issue. He was also clear about His expectation that we would know God in the same level He did.
PRAYER
Father, You said if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of You, and it shall be given him. Therefore, I ask in faith to be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. I incline my ear unto wisdom and apply my heart to understanding. In the name of Jesus, I receive skill, godly wisdom, and instruction. I discern and comprehend the words of understanding and insight. As a person of understanding, I acquire skill and attain sound counsel [so that I may be able to steer my course rightly]. Wisdom guards me because I love, highly prize, and exalt her; she will bring me to honour because I embrace her. She gives to my head a crown of glory. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honour.
