Praying For Church Leaders Part 3
Day 19: 40 DAYS PRAYER, FASTING AND WORSHIP FEB 3rd to MARCH 14th, 2021. 2021, A YEAR OF NEW BEGINNING - ISAIAH 43:17-19
Short Exhortation on Church Leaders
Leaders of the Church are very important for the growth of the Church. Today, we will be praying for all our Church leaders for an increase in revelation into the Word of God. The measure of revelation into the Word of God that our Church leaders have can determine the quality of the nutrients that the flocks of God can derive from their messages. We will also be praying for them to finish their race well. Philippians 1:6 says. “Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” It is good to start a race but it is better to finish the race. Matthew 24:13 says, “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Ecclesiastes 7:8 also says, “The end of a matter is better than the beginning, and a patient spirit is better than a proud one.” We will be praying that our Church leaders will not run this race in vain but they will make it to the end in Jesus’ name.
