LABOUR IN PRAYER FOR YOUR PASTOR
“But I beg of you my brethren, by our Lord Yeshua the Messiah and by the love of The Spirit, that you labor with me in prayer to God for me.”
Romans 15:30 (ABPE)
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].” Phillipians 2:25-30 (Amplified Bible)
This is the reason Paul’s prayer request in Romans 15:30, unveils the objective of spiritual warfare.
This spiritual warfare against the forces of darkness is mainly to ensure that the gospel of Jesus shall not 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!

I stand in for my Shepherd in prayer
2Cor.1.11 You and your prayers are part of the rescue operation–I don’t want you in the dark about that either. I can see your faces even now, lifted in praise for God’s deliverance of us, a rescue in which your prayers played such a crucial part. (MSB)
2Cor.1.11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many. (NIV)
2Cor.1.11 He will rescue us because you are helping by praying for us. As a result, many will give thanks to God because so many people’s prayers for our safety have been answered. (NLT)
2Cor.1.11 you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on our behalf for the gift granted to us through many. (NKJV)..

How far you can go see and go in life is greatly affected by your leader. I pray for my Pastor
Wow
This article has really created the need in me to pray for my leaders more
Thank you Apostle Sir
My striving in prayers with my leaders shall not be taken lightly. It is unto my own advantage.
There is a battle going on knowingly or unknowingly
The fact that you don’t see it doesn’t meant it is not going on. It’s either you are dominating or being dominated
To know and be on the winning side Is to your advantage but God has set men as Overseers over his army to prepare them and also deploy them into the systems for execution of his mandate. So God calls a man who also sets up a ministry that has a specific sounding that assembles a particular people pertaining to what God wants to achieve through that sounding then trains them to also become like how God has made the leader so the work can go fast but in all even though there is a specific sounding there is only one message and one target that Jesus will flood everywhere
So these leaders God puts as The spearhead of people must always be prayed for not to give up on the mandate because it is not for the weak it is not everyone who started that is sustained or continues because ot is a task that will kill a lot of self pleasures and desires and only peruse that which will only bless others that’s the only satisfaction and the devil will not allow it because his plans will also be collapsing through that work. So we stand in one accord to pray that all men who have genuinely dedicated their all will stand firm till the end of the race
Amen!!
I choose to Labour in Prayer!!
I choose to labour in prayer for my leaders
Oh Hallelujah!!
The Lord’s purpose is great and though all men are the same, there are some appointed by God’s Grace to lead others in acheiving God’s goal!
Also, God’s plans and it fulfillment requires people, people determine far God can go.
The leaders of these people also determine how possible and easy it is for God to gain pre-eminnece. The mindset, habit and attitude of these leaders affect the people as well.
The work.is spiritual warfare for which reasons these leaders need prayers.
We must supply prayers consistently to protect, to guard, to maintain the focus of these leaders, so that Jesus will truly reign.
The faith of the Leaders shall not grow cold. They will increase in the Lord’s zeal and in great faith!!!
