DO YOU PRAY FOR PEOPLE?

Dear Christian.
But I have pray for thee, that thy faith fails not; and when thou art converted, strengthened thy brethren. Luke 22:32. And I sought for a man among them that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land that I should not destroy it; but I found none. Ezek. 22:30.

Christian, the ultimate purpose of prayer is not to get what we want, but to become what God want. God uses our difficulties to develop our character. You cannot store up treasure in heaven if you are holding on to the treasure on earth. The seeds we sows today determine the kind of fruit we will reap tomorrow. Our greatest riches are the riches we have in Christ. Are you gifted or called to intercede?

God have provided the amour but we must put it on. No one is good enough to save himself; no one is so bad that God cannot save him or her. The truth of life is not determined by how many people that believes on it. Do you have the appetite to pray? If you think you know everything, then you have a lot to learn. You can measure your love for God by your obedience to his words. Are you willing to pray moderately without ceasing for others?

You cannot go astray on this straight and narrow way if you follow peace with all men and holiness…Heb 12:14. It is not the hour you put in prayer that counts but what you put in the prayer. Jesus took our place on the cross to give us a place in heaven, but we must do the work of Christ on earth to earn that glory. One among the work is intercession (praying for others).

Knowing God gives meaning to life; obeying Him gives purpose to it. In the Bible we are instructed to intercede thus: I exhort therefore, that first of all, supplications, prayer, intercessions, and the giving of thanks, be made for all men. (1Tim.2:1-5). Also: finally my brethren, be strong in the lord, and in the power of his might…Eph.6:10-18.Read what the expert has to say on prayer.

Between the humble and contrite heart and the majesty of heaven there are no barriers. the only password is prayer….Ballou
And Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees…Cowper
Let us be silent that we may hear the whisper of God…Emerson
We must alter our lives in order to alter our hearts, for it is impossible to live one way and pray another way….Law

Sometimes God delays the answer to our prayer in final form until we have time to build up the strength, accumulate the knowledge, or fashion the character that would make it possible for God to say yes to what we ask ….Pearson.
Neglect of private prayer is the locus that devours the strength of the
church..Spurgeon

Dear friend I will like to tell you that a little prayer that you can pray for anybody at anytime will not go unnoticed by the angel of God and you will be adequately rewarded by God. The prayer of intercession is highly valuable in the sight of the Lord. And I repeat: YOU WILL BE REWARDED as you pray for people you know and do not know. All Christians are priest and we have access to the throne of Grace anytime we pray. You do not need to be called by God in order to pray for people. All Christian are called. Pray, my dear for people: believer and unbeliever. God bless you as you do so
