Devote Yourself To Prayer

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PRAYS FOR THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Colossians 4:2-4

Colossians 4:2 (NIV)
Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.

Have been praying for something far too long without answers? Have you called on God for someone's sake, but that seems fruitless? Are you weary in prayer without results? Loose not hope; God is about doing great and marvelous things in your life and those you prayed for.

Continue in prayer. Devote yourself to it. Persist in it. There is breakthrough ahead. God is clearing out the way for a greater glory. He has heard you, so do not weary down. Do not give up too easy as the devil expects: put the him to shame by devoting yourself to prayer.

The best time to pray is when you think God is not hearing you. When you are filled with guilt; pray. When you are weary; pray. When all things seem impossible; pray. Pray that souls will be won for God through Christ. Pray that people will be ready to take the work of the ministry, and that the unadulterated word of God will be preached.

Dear friend, prayer is a supernatural drive for every believer, so devote yourself to it. Pray for yourself, family, friends, and even enemies that they all will come to the saving knowledge of God in Christ. Also, pray for your pastor and all preachers of the Gospel. Let the alter of prayer for all people be raised in your home; for the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous avails much.
Stay blessed. Shalom.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, be magnified. LORD God, strengthen us to pray, even in our weakness, knowing that You hear us always through Christ Jesus. Amen.

Pray For The Nation

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PRAYS FOR THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Jeremiah 29:7-14

Jeremiah 29:7 (NIV)
Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."

Praying for the nation and its government is something that is rarely done by most believers, but it is very necessary for us and the Gospel entrusted in our hands.

When there is peace in the land we live, we can preach the Gospel with ease. It is obvious that no one would have time to listen to you in times of war. When there is famine in the land, only few would want to hear a message of hope.

No matter where or which situation we find ourselves, the Gospel must be preached. As we pray for the preachers of the Gospel, let us pray for the nation we find ourselves in; that there would be peace and prosperity in the land. And we know that when there is peace and prosperity in the land, we shall enjoy them in full measure.
Stay blessed. 

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, be magnified. LORD God, may Your peace and prosperity reign in our nation that Your people will prosper through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Pray For Those Who Govern

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PRAYS FOR THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: 1 Timothy 2:1-4

1 Timothy 2:1 (NIV)
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people

Governance is an institution of God (Romans 13:1-5).  Where there are good leaders, there will be a good government.

It is very vital to pray for those who govern, if not for anything, for the work of the ministry. Thus, Paul urges believers to intercede for all people; mentioning all those in authority.

Our prayers have a way of turning things around in this world. To the mind, it is unfruitful and something which cannot be understood, but it is real. Let us not cease to pray for all people and for our leaders; that they may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
Shalom.

Let's Pray:
All powerful God, we praise You. Father, may our leaders get to know and fear You; that they may lead a quiet and peaceable life through Jesus Christ. Amen.

Intercede For Your Friends

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PRAYS FOR THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Job 42:7-10

Job 42:10 (KJV)
And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Praying for friends who sticks more than a brother is easy, but praying for friends who despise you for taking up a good course is difficult, although not impossible.

There are friends who will criticize and despise you for taking up the Gospel, especially those you left in the dark to pick up the light. Do you have to neglect them abruptly? Certainly not!
You may reject their criticisms, but not the persons.

Beloved, our friends are needed of God, no matter their behaviour towards God. It is our duty to pray for all our friends that they might be saved, and for those who know God that they grow in their fellowship with Him.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Most merciful God, we adore You. Father, we pray that You reveal Christ unto our friends that they might come to You and fellowship with you, through Christ. Amen.

Watch and Pray

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PRAYS FOR THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Nehemiah 4:7-9

Nehemiah 4:9 (KJV) 

Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

Great persecution comes with channelling a good cause. However, fighting back do not solve it, but escalate things. The best way to stay on purpose is to pray to God for protection and then apply the wisdom He gives you.

Nehemiah and his people realized this, so they first called on God and then focused on what was before them instead of their foes, as the keep guard. Never be misguided by the fear of persecutions; face them with prayer and wisdom.

The Gospel of Christ is the greatest thing that happened to man, and any attempt to make it known would call for the highest persecutions. Nevertheless, since the Gospel is of God and is not ours, let us hand the battle that comes with it to God through prayer. 

Do not stop at prayer, apply the wisdom of God and be guarded that they may not fall on you unaware. Watch and pray.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Omnipotent God, You have all power. We pray You, o Lord, that You protect every preacher from their persecutors and grant Your people the wisdom to be guarded in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Transformed Person Prays For The Preachers Of The Gospel

The Transformed Person Prays For The Preachers Of The Gospel

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PRAYS FOR THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL
Reading: Romans 15:30-32

Romans 15:30 (KJV)
Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

Prayer, just like many other rituals of the Gospel, has been left in the hands of the little few, although it is the duty of every believer to pray always.

In today's scripture passages, Paul enlightened us of what  prayer can do for the ministry. To the preacher, prayer brings; protection (vs. 31), favour (vs. 31), joy (vs. 32). These things are necessary for the continuity of the spread of the Gospel.

As Christians, we have been charged to Go and make disciples of all nations (Mt 28:18-20). Although this responsibility of ours has been left for some people, we can support them with our prayers no matter where we are or they are. The Gospel of Christ must go.

Our donations and monies are necessary, but not complete without constant prayers for the preachers. Let us strive with these preachers in prayer that they will be delivered from persecution; that they will be favoured, and that their joy will be fulfilled in the souls won to Christ.
Shalom.

Let's Pray:
Most Gracious and Merciful God, we thank You. Lord, we stand with all preachers of the Gospel, and with one accord, we pray for safety and favour so that their joy will be fulfilled and we all will be refreshed hearing the souls that turned to You through Christ Jesus. Amen.
