Pointed Prayer
In this passage in Acts, Paul launches into a prayer that is pointed. We discover that pointed prayer aims at deepening your knowledge of God and elevating your appreciation for His work in your life. What is the point of Paul’s prayer for wisdom and revelation? That a people who had been called out of one life and into a new life would possess a deeper knowledge of God. His point here is not to be confused with a knowledge of the facts of God. Knowledge of the facts of God is not equal to knowledge of God personally, intimately, deeply. Paul is stressing the need for Christians to know God more deeply.

Galatians 1.11-24: Disciple - be one, make one
The gospel is literally a joyful message. Paul encounters this joyful message on the road to Damascus. God called Him and revealed Jesus to His heart. In a moment the mystery of the cross and the empty tomb of Jesus was unveiled to Paul. Paul never recovered from that. He was changed. He was now a disciple. He was commissioned to preach, to make disciples. We are all called and commissioned as Paul was. Sure it looks different on how we have the Son revealed to us, but the story line is the same. We are chosen and called as the Son of God is revealed to our heart. God also calls us to a particular service for the equipping of saints for the work of service to the building up of the body of Christ. We are all called to be a disciple and to make disciples.
