PRAY FOR OTHER SAINTS
“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints”
Ephesians 6:18 (KJV)
No believer or saint in Christ is an Island. Every individual is part of the community of the saints.
We are strong as saints when we stand together in this fight of faith. We defend, support and strengthen one another to enforce our victory in Christ and prevail over every situation.
The Lord knows the believer is not called to stand alone, thus, He incorporates everyone who becomes born again into Himself.
“For by [means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:13 (AMPC)
In Christ Jesus, there is no individualism. Your well-being is not enough when the well-being of other saints is compromised.
This is why you don’t only pray for yourself but you must also become an intercessor.
You must be intentional about making prayers and supplication for other saints.
All believers or saints in Christ Jesus are of one body. When the hand is in pain, the whole body is in pain. You can’t have pain in your leg, and have the lungs rejoice.
The discomfort of one body part is the discomfort of the whole body.
This is why you must pray for one another. You must pray for the saints.
To make supplication simply means, to humbly make a request or petition.
To make supplication for the saints is to humbly and earnestly make a request for the saints.
Praying for the saints must be done with all perseverance. Don’t quietly watch your fellow saints go through pain and challenges. Instead of sitting back to complain about the failures of others, you can make supplications for them.
Read Ephesians 6:18 in the Amplified:
“With all prayer and petition pray [with specific requests] at all times [on every occasion and in every season] in the Spirit, and with this in view, stay alert with all perseverance and petition [interceding in prayer] for all God’s people.” Ephesians 6:18 (Amplified Bible)
This is one of the signs of spiritual maturity: Praying for God’s people!
Selflessness is a sign of maturity.
The “babe” in Christ doesn’t pray for others. He or she is only concerned about himself (or herself).
The more you pray for others, the less you get troubled or anxious about your challenges. Praying for others also means looking away from your situation and entrusting it to the hands of Jesus.
When you spend time to make supplication for others, all you are saying is, “Lord, please take care of my situation, as I stand in the gap for others”.
Let God handle your business as you make supplication for others.
Think about fellow saints in your community or city. Pray for their growth, their effectiveness in serving the Lord, and their strength and focus in the gospel of Jesus.
Set a time aside today and pray for the brethren.
Hallelujah!

Intercessions are very crucial for the prosperity of the body of Christ. Reading the dig deeper verses, one thing was clear even as Paul the Apostle in some verses stressed on it; praying for the brethren and all men. It takes Intercessions for the Peace of God to prevail in our world.
I pray the the Lord grants me strength to be consistent with my Intercessory ministry.
I make supplication for the saints my habit
Glory to God
If one wants to go a short journey he goes alone but he that wants to go far goes with men.
Imagine if Sampson had men like david what happened to him will not because they will have to get through them to reach Sampson. But David’s men stood to defend even to the last breath and that is how we the saints must act for ourselves
Ministry has never been a short journey it has continued and will continue till even the world ends that is why it is a “watch my back as I watch yours “ policy no loner can do ministry you will wear out.
Even in the book of Exodus
Jethro told Moses that if he says he will judge all the people case he will soon wear out so this means he needs men to be helping hand to make sure things are in place
So when everyone has the back of their people strength is enforced in time of need and as we have our backs there is a need for ONENESS which cannot be compromised because for one to pray the other it will take a people who are one
Thank you Jesus. The body of Christ is an organism with many parts. No matter how we look at it, I remain strong when the body of Christ is strong. I am weak when the body is weak. I suffer when a part of the body is suffering. This necessitates the tool or help of prayer!
The bible says, I exhort therefore that prayer, supplication and given of thanks be done for all men, for kings and rules and those in authority that we may have a quite a peaceable life in all Godliness.
The bible speaks of Epaphras, He says, Epaphras one of your fellowship members, always praying for you that you may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Prayer helps the brethren
every believer must be an intercessor because, in intercession, deliverance is provided to the brethren and we give God the opportunity to save us.
I pray!!
