DID YOU LOVE YUR JESUS VERY WELL? You Should Run Away if your Pastor does not Pray about these 14 important things
The place of prayer in churches has been substituted for songs and miracles to woo large congregation.
Since praises and miracles attract more people,
most pastors too have neglected the scriptural verse that says people
should watch and pray. The church is no longer a sacred place, it has
become a place where different atrocity is committed.
Lately, pastors fail to emphasize the need for
believers to start praying more for churches, and to encourage others to
do the same. These are 14 important things your pastor might not be
praying about.
1. Prayer of unity
Not until recently when some churches were been
persecuted, the church seemed to be asleep in place of prayer. Most
pastors have gotten to empower their congregation with prayer that unity
is important amid diversity.
2. Culture of discipleship
Discipleship is on the core mentorship of Jesus
Christ that most pastors should emulate. Some pastors cannot even boast
of a proper welfare of their members.
3. Scriptural knowledge
Most churches are no longer bothered about
grooming members scriptural ability. There are no faithful elders in the
church who would use scripture to train members to do the work of
ministry.
4. Hunger for the gospel
Most churches hardly remember to pray for that
zeal and hunger for studying the gospel anymore. People, including the
pastors are more concerned with criticizing rather than guide and guard
one another.
5. Transparency
There is no transparency or meaningful
relationships in the church. Some pastors shy away from using the name
of Jesus Christ to pray. There is a problem once this become normal and
remaining anonymous strange.
6. The preaching of God’s word
Some pastors’ teachings lack scriptural backings. They no longer pray that the word of God would be biblical and spirit filled.
7. Temptation
Some pastors shy away from praying that elders
and members would remain above reproach, kept from temptation,
complacency, idols, and worldliness.
8. Church songs
8. Church songs
They ought to pray that the church’s songs would
teach members to biblically confess and praise. Once church music is
not meeting the spiritual needs of the people, then its purpose is
defeated.
9. Humility
Some pastors shy away from making their
congregation pray that the church’s prayers would be infused with
biblical ambitions, honesty, and humility.
10. Some pastors shy away from praying that the
church would grow in being distinct from the world in love and holiness,
even as it engages outsiders.
11. Preparation for persecution
Churches no longer pray that members would be prepared for persecution, remembering to love, not curse, their persecutors.
12. Political aspiration
Pastors and believers forget that hopes for political change would be outstretched by the hope of heaven.
13. Faithfulness
They fail to remember that giving would be faithful, as well as joyful, consistent, and sacrificial.
14. Evangelism
Some believers and pastors have forgotten that
in Christianity more members would use their careers to take the gospel
to places it’s never been.
