How to be a Help to Your Church ~ #3

How to be a Helpful to Your Church
I came across some helpful information written by Dr. Dale A. Robbins regarding helping your church. So I will be posting it here in this blog- spot over the course of the next week or so.
I liked it so much that I shared it with my church already. There are 8 segments to what Dr. Robbins wrote about this and we will include all 8 of them in our looking at church helps

3. Pray for your church, it's pastors and leaders:

The Apostle Paul explained that it is the duty of the Christians to pray for all who are in authority, especially those in spiritual authority. "... exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." (I Timothy 2:1-2)Your church leaders are on the cutting edge of the battle with Satan, and will face temptations and spiritual conflict unlike anything you could imagine.

The Devil knows that if he can topple a spiritual leader or get him discouraged enough to quit, it will have a domino effect on the rest of the church. You can be a tremendous help by praying fervently for your church, and especially for the pastor and his family.

It is especially helpful that you attend the church prayer meetings, and you can come into agreement with others. And, where the pastors and church leaders can see and feel your prayer support for them, and the church. God promised special strength through the combined prayer of His children.

"Again I say unto you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven." (Matthew 18:19)

My additional comment:
Prayer is our connection and bond to God and to each other in the harvesting of souls for the Lord. We must first agree with Him and His Word and then with each other to accomplish God's will where we are at.

Be blessed of the Lord
