Truth 4 the Week
Topic : Praying for others
Bible Verse Ezekiel:9:4
And the Lord said to him, "Pass through the city, through Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all abominations that are committed in it"
Message : In this week's Bible verse we see how God values the prayers made by people because of the sins in their country. God search for people who will stand in the gap and pray for others (Ez:22:30). Many of us pray for ourselves but not for families, friends, neighbours, state & country. Why should we pray for others. First it's God's desire that we pray for others (I Tim:2:1-3) God loves everyone he shed his precious blood on cross for all mankind. He wants everyone to be saved & to know the truth. Second, praying for others builds love and harmony with others (Mat:5:44,45) If we love others we need to carry eachothers burden & also support them in prayers (Gal:6:2 & Eph:6:18) We are all parts of one body in Christ. When any part of body suffers others to suffer with it.(ICor:12:26) Third, God reveals his answer & prophecy to those who earnestly pray for others. (Jer:33:3) We see this in lives of Daniel, Jeremiah , Nehamiah etc So let's pray for one another. God bless you.
Prayer : Dear Lord help us to pray for each other through your guidance. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
