MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 1ST MAY 2023
Our Fire Scripture gives us direct instruction on the need to put our leaders on our prayer list. Our leaders need our prayers to function effectively, no matter how anointed or gifted they are. We need to become their caring purpose partners and burden bearers by doing the following for them.
(1) Pray for God’s mercy upon them.
(2) Pray for their salvation and the renewal of their hearts.
(3) Pray for wisdom for sound decision and good judgement.
(4) We should also pray that the decision they make impact positively on the people.
When we pray for our leaders, we take part in advancing God’s kingdom on this earth. Our leaders face spiritual battles and opposition that they may not be aware of. If we fail to pray and allow satan to take hold of the leaders, they can make mistakes, thereby creating hardship and frustration for the people.
Satan is trying to deceive and mislead the people by making them not to see the need to pray for their leaders. He knows that if he gets the head, he will get the body. When we realise how imperfect we ourselves are, we will be humbled to offer deeper intercession for the imperfect men and women who lead us. Leadership is not easy. It can be a difficult and a tiring task. Leaders battle with discouragement and sometimes get stressed, even depressed, and want to quit. These are the dark sides of leadership.
Peter was kept in prison but constant prayer was made by the church on behalf of him (Acts 12:5). God is looking for men and women who will move His hands in the place of prayer to bring His plan to fulfilment concerning the world. You may not like your leader or whoever is in authority, but that is not an excuse not to pray for him.
Not praying for your leader means going against the commandment of God. Prayer places our leaders in God’s hands. So let us employ this powerful spiritual weapon to establish the will of God on earth. As we do this, the good Lord will answer us with good words.
