DO YOU PRAY FOR YOUR LEADER?
“and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel”
Ephesians 6:19 (NKJV)
The gap between God’s plan and the fulfilment of that plan is God’s people.
Anything God has accomplished on Earth, He did it through His people.
God will always appoint a man among His people to become a voice, a leader and a lighthouse. This is not to create an impression that others are better. This is by the workings of God’s grace.
Those leaders God appoints become conduits of His greater works.
God has set leaders in the church to be responsible for the growth of each saint and to equip the saints for the spread of the gospel according to the power of the Holy Spirit.
The mindset of the spiritual leaders, will affect the mindset of the people and influence the climate of the Church within a locality.
These leaders in the Church mostly labour for the spread of the gospel. Sometimes most believers assume their leaders are strong in faith and don’t need prayers.
It is important you understand that, through prayers, you make the abundant supply of divine grace, strength and provisions in the spirit to your leader. There are many ways the adversary wants to destroy and distract their focus and pursuit of God’s plan.
In the labour of the gospel, people risk their lives and come close to death.
To do the work of the ministry and to spread the gospel is true warfare. And the adversary seeks every opportunity to attack and destroy not only the saints, but mainly the shepherds or those who lead the saints.
“…Strike the shepherd and the sheep will be scattered…” (Zechariah 13:7)
Epaphroditus was a leader who was assisting Paul on behalf of the saints in Philippi, at the frontline of the ministry, even as Paul was in prison.
Paul in his epistles referred to Epaphroditus as “fellow soldier” (Philippians 2:25).
This characterizes the nature of the work they were doing. They worked or laboured as fellow soldiers because the work of the ministry is a spiritual warfare.
“However, I thought it necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, [who has been] my brother and companion and fellow soldier, who was also sent as your messenger to take care of my needs. For he has been longing for all of you and was distressed because you had heard that he was sick. He certainly was sick and close to death. But God had mercy on him, and not only on him but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow. So I have sent him all the more eagerly so that when you see him again you may rejoice and I may be less concerned about you. Welcome him home in the Lord with great joy, and appreciate and honor men like him; because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was lacking in your service to me [which distance prevented you from rendering personally].” Philippians 2:25-3 (Amplified Bible)
This is the reason Paul’s prayer request in Ephesians 6:19-20, unveils the objective of spiritual warfare.
This spiritual warfare against the forces of darkness is mainly to ensure that the gospel of Jesus shall prevail in all places.
This is war.
The adversary is plotting against the Church and the leaders. And for your Church leaders to firmly stand to continue in the labour of the gospel, you must make supplication for them daily.
This is to your advantage.
Has this Machaira with Apostle Bennie blessed you in any way?
Then you must pray for me as well.
There is nothing done for the spread of the gospel, which the adversary has not attacked or attempted to destroy.
Beloved pray and honor those who labour in the gospel of Jesus.
Glory to God.
Psalm 139-141

The gap between God’s plans and it’s fulfillment is His people.
God has set in the church men whom He has entrusted His Visions and ministries to in bringing forth His plans to pass in the earth.
Such men are just chosen by God’s grace!
Such men come face to face with death and bringing God’s plans to pass.
Epaphroditus was a fellow soldier to Apostle Paul in pushing God’s agenda, however, He was afflicted and became sick almost to death.
Without the consistent prayers of the saints, Apostle Peter would have been killed. Apostle Paul said Pray for us that God will deliver us from the hands of wicked and unreasonable men.
The prayers of the saints does alot in spiritual warfare against their leaders.
The adversary has always resisted God’s agenda from day one and there is nothing of God in this world which was not resisted by the devil.
Glory
Thank you Jesus for strengthening or my leaders and protecting them.
I pray that you give them all utterances for the teaching of the Gospel.
I pray that you continue to bless them with all spiritual blessings and comfort them.
In the name of Jesus
I pray for my leaders always! I pray for you Apostle that you shall immovable like a steal post. Your strength is renew day by day in the name of Jesus! You are protected! Amen!!
I go on my knees in prayer for my leaders.
Leaders go through a lot to make sure the saints in the body are growing and nourished
Sleepless nights , givings and a whole lot are privileges God has given us to share in his burden of bringing people to light. It is not an easy task and it is not everyone that has the heart and patience to go through the process of growth and to push and become a great leader
So we must always pray for strength to continue in every good work because if one backs down it slows the whole body
