PRAYING FOR OTHERS
Greetings to all readers worldwide; praying for others is not something easy doing, but we must do. We must endeavor, we pray for others and not only ourselves. The bible said the prayers of the righteous availed much; when you pray for others you are also praying multiple blessings into your life. Love your neighbor as yourself, so says GOD’s law; but many find it difficult to pray for even their neighbors. When you neighbor is happy, you will be happy; when he is at peace, you will be at peace. That is why, we must pray for them.
Also, Job was a sorrowful man having lose all his possessions and children, regained all when he prayed for his friends. Not everyone is an intercessor so we say, but we have to be one to intercede for others. Job prayed for his friends, despite his predicament and all he loosed were regained in many folds. That is how it works, you might be thinking I have my own issues; GOD has not answered me, praying for others can make GOD answer you; just like Job.
Furthermore, to be blessed mightily pray for others; just like I do during my devotions, I have a day aside to pray for others. At times, I pray as the holy spirit leads me; I wake up at night sometimes just to pray for someone I don’t know, nor seen before. Who are the others we should pray for:
Neighbors
The sick
The Nations
The Missionaries
The ministers of GOD
Those looking for the fruit of the womb
The pregnant women
The travellers on the sea, road and by air
The widows
The orphans
The less-privilege
The leaders
The church
Your friends and loved ones.
You can also pray as you are led, the spirit might lead you to pray for a person you don’t know or haven’t seen before, just obey. Praying for others has great reward, just try and see the results; let it become part of you. May GOD, give us the grace to pray for others and bless us mightily.
WORK ON THE WORD 2! David knew the essence of working on GOD’s word. He wrote in Psalm 33 vs. 4 (NIV): For the word of the LORD is right and true, he is faithful in all he does. He also hid GOD’s word in his heart that he might not sin against HIM. Psalm 119 vs. 11: Your words have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against you. Storing GOD’s word in our heart and doing according to it is working on the word. Keeping GOD’s commandment is working on his word. Proverbs 7 vs. 1-2: My sons, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with you. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of your eye. Furthermore, working on GOD’s word is being the hearer and doer of the word. James wrote in James 1 vs. 22-24: But be you doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer; he is like to a man beholding his natur...
