Topic: Prayers for the Church
Today’s Reading: Matt 16:18-19
18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.”NKJV
Words of the Ministry:
Today is the second day of our prayers and we would be praying for the church, the body of Christ. The bible teaches Christ died or the church in Eph 5:25-2725 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. KJV
Here we see a comparism between the love God expects husbands to love their wivese to that which Christ has for the Church, the bible here teaches, he did all his sacrificial work to sanctify the Church, cleanse her by the word and eventually would present her without blemish unto himself. We can therefore see that Christ would only be satisfied when these conditions are met. As we look at the Church today, we may see some contrast between the desire of Christ and what is obtainable, it is therefore our duty as Children of God’s kingdom to pray for the church towards the actualization of Christ goal, by this, the will of God would be done and the kingdom of God would be fully established on the earth, Jesus in Matt 16.18-19, interchanged the Church for the kingdom as the Church is the miniature kingdom of God on earth and as it is in heaven so should it be on earth.
May we with a contrite heart pray the following prayers and you may add some more as the Holy Spirit leads.
Let us pray for revival in the body of Christ, that souls would have a genuine encounter with God and not mere men.
Let us pray that there would be a restoration of the apostolic signs and wonder in=n our days to further grow and strengthen the body.
Let’s pray that God would expose false prophets and hirelings and bring them to public shame.
Let’s pray God would give unusual revelation from his word to his Church, such revelation that would lead to further glorification and relevance of the Church.
Pray that God would give our leaders the necessary wisdom to pilot the affairs of the church and that God would deliver them from the love of money and materialism.
As we bring our prayers to a close, please keep in mind our Peniel Encounter for July, it comes up next week Sunday by 4pm to 6.30 pm, God bless you.
