PRAYING FOR PASTORS

BIBLE READING: 1 CHRONICLES 12:1-2, 21-22; 1 SAMUEL 30:1-3

"And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will be qualified to teach others." 2 Timothy 2:2 (NIV).

Let us take a look at 1 Chronicles 12:1-2, 21-22(NIV), "These were the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was banished from the presence of Saul, son of Kish (they were among the warriors who helped him in battle; they were armed with bows and were able to shoot arrows or to sling stones right-handed and left-handed; they were kinsmen of Saul from the tribe of Benjamin): ...They helped David against raiding bands, for all of them were brave warriors, and they were commanders in his army. Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God." Every vision requires a team to fulfill it. A great dream must be matched with a great dream team, even God has an elite team known as the twenty-four elders. (Rev 4: 4; 5:8).

In our key text today, we saw Apostle Paul writing about the kind of people who will pass on what he taught; men who are able and faithful. Please recall that in 1 Chronicles 12, the kind of men who kept coming to join David's team were from the tribe of Benjamin and the other tribes of Israel, some of these men were raised by David and many came from outside his own fold to submit to him. These men did great exploits to support David's leadership as the 'set man.'

In 1 Samuel 30:1-3(NIV), David and his men reached Ziklag on the third day. Now the Amalekites had raided the Negev and Ziklag. They had attacked Ziklag, and burned it, and had taken captive the women and everyone else seen in it, both young and old. They killed none of them, but carried them off as they went on their way. When David and his men reached Ziklag, they found it destroyed by fire and their wives and sons and daughters taken captive. From this text, we can see why pastors need to be consistently prayed for. The homes of pastors can be marked for attack while they are doing exploits in the field that is one reason why we should surround our pastors with prayers.

Most people do not think pastors need prayers. Moses prayed for three million people yet it was not on record that anybody ever prayed for him. We need to constantly pray for them so that they will be kept from sin and especially sins of the heart like unforgiveness, envy, bitterness, division, pride, deception, etc. 1 Thessolonians 5:25(NKJV) says, Brethren, pray for us. This was the utterance of Apostle Paul. Brothers and sisters let us rise to pray for pastors, they are the ones who eventually automate the systems on which the vision runs. They pay a huge price trying to translate that vision into a reality. We should pray for them to be in alignment with heaven and with vision of the set man.

PRAYER:
Father, I bring all pastors before You, let grace be multiplied on them that their homes be secure from every attack of the enemy and may they walk in your precepts so that their lives and ministries shall bring glory to your Holy Name in Jesus name, Amen!

PRAYING FOR THE NATION (2)

BIBLE READING: 1 CHRONICILES 21:1-3; PSALMS 72:15

I urge, then, first of all that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour, who wants all men to be saved and come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2: 1-4(NIV).

In wartime, the most important person is the general; enormous responsibility rests on his shoulders. In flying an aircraft, praying for the pilots is more important than praying for all the passengers because if the pilots suddenly go blind, it would take the intervention of God to safely land the aircraft. In our key text, Apostle Paul urges us that praying for those in political authority has great impact on the preaching of the gospel; and also that, good governance is pleasing to God.

Carefully consider, 1 Chronicles 21:1-3, 14; Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel. So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops."Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so that I may know many there are." But Joab replied, "May the Lord multiply his troops hundred times over. My lord the king, are they not all my lord's subjects? Why does my lord want to do this? Why should he bring guilt on Israel?" ... So the Lord sent a plague on Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell dead (NIV).

From the above scriptures, Satan orchestrated an attack against Israel, he rather went after the king (president), to make a policy (decision) that was going to plunge the nation into a terrible situation, even when there was a superior argument against the policy. Little did they know that the decision was a high powered satanic plot. It could be seen from here that decisions (policies) of those in political authority do not just come from out of the blues, they are either inspired by God or demonically manipulated. Political leaders can be puppets in the hands of the enemy if we as the Church fail to uphold them in prayer. Some of their decisions may be personal but not private, the results or consequences may derail the nation.

The book of Daniel gives details of how his prayers in Babylon caused a cosmic and angelic warfare that eventually broke the captivity of Israel in that nation that resulted in their release from bondage. Likewise, the book of Nehemiah shows us that the prayer of Nehemiah shifted the heart of the king not only to sponsor a bill that was passed into law to allow the children of Israel to return to their homeland, but also supplied resources for the rebuilding of the wall.

Psalms 72:15 says, Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long (NIV). Men and brethren, may we continually pray for the political leaders of our nation.

ACTION POINT:
Do you passionately pray for the political leaders of your nation? Make commitments to take your place on the watchtower against all sorts of bills and legislations that can harm the peace and prosperity of the nation.

PRAYER POINTS:
Pray for the Ibadan Discipleship Summit starting today that God will use His servant to communicate His will to God's people. Pray that the city and the hearts of men in it will open up for God to have His way.

Pray for the emergence of a mighty army of sons in the southwest region of Nigeria.

PRAYING FOR THE NATION

BIBLE READING: 2 CHRONICLES 7: 13 - 14

This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may increase in number there: and do not decrease. Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper. Jeremiah 29: 4-7(NIV).

Aside from living a life of honesty and integrity, the best gift you can give to your nation is the gift of constant intercession for her. As a believer, the spiritual, political, legal, environmental, social, technological and economic situations in your nation should move you to repentance, intercession, prayers and supplication, and not unfounded criticisms. We seek for the well-being of our nation.

2 Chronicles 7:13-14(NIV); When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague to devour the people, if my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land. Concerning issues that bedevil nations in which believers reside, God is saying, stop passing the buck! Take responsibility in prayer and turn things around for good in your nation.

Each nation has a prophetic destiny; inheritances, and seasons of manifestation on the global stage written in God's destiny books. It will take the intense intercession and prayers of the saints in the nation for that destiny not to be aborted, because the evil one is working tirelessly to thwart that destiny. Luke 18:1 (KJV), Men ought always to pray and not faint. If we faint in the place of prayer our nation can be overrun by evil.

Contemplate on the following texts: Jeremiah 15:1(NIV); Then the Lord said me: even if Moses and Samuel were to stand before me, my heart will not go out to these people, send them away from my presence! Let them go! Ezekiel 14:12 - 14(NIV); The Word of the Lord came to me: son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine against it and kill its people and their animals. Even if these three men- Noah, Daniel and Job- were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the sovereign Lord.

From the texts we just read, we can see that it will take (men and women) believers, versed in the art of spiritual legislation to unlock the destiny of a nation.The five men mentioned above had at one time or the other influenced heaven on behalf of their nation. Like Israel, any nation that carries a special mandate from heaven attracts unusual satanic attacks.

Satan's first target is the spiritual leadership of that nation that has what it takes to reshape the spiritual and moral compass of that nation. (Zechariah 3:1-2). The greatest assault of Satan now is on prominent church leaders whose voices are like a compass to navigate the nation out of sin and bring revival to the spiritual, political, legal, environmental, and social, technological and economic climates of the nation.

In this season of fasting and prayer, let us intelligently engage the courts of heaven to bring a restraining order against satanic onslaught on our nation and then unlock her destiny.

PRAYER:
Father, I come to you as your son/daughter by the blood of Jesus on behalf of my nation. I repent of every iniquity, transgression and sin that has given the enemy access to hinder Your destiny for her. I speak peace and prosperity to every aspect of her national life in Jesus name, Amen!
