*PRAYING FOR THE LOCAL CHURCH*
*2nd Thessalonians 5:17 pray without ceasing.*
*Prayer is an activity that is done daily and continuously. There is never a time a believer stops praying.*
From the different categories of things and people we pray for, implies that the believers’ life should be a life of prayer.
In praying for ourselves, we should pray more for our spiritual well being, for insight in God’s word more than physical things as this was the emphasis in scriptures.
Ephesians 1: 16-23, Philippians 1: 9-11, Colossians 1: 9-11, Philemon 6.
We’re also to pray for ourselves to walk in God’s plans and purpose for our lives, to walk in wisdom (James 1: 5)
Above all, we should be found praying much more for others, and other believers. We should spend more time praying for our local church, the members and ministers of the church.
1st Corinthians 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
If we receive edification from the local church, then we should pray for the church.
Majority of Paul’s prayer was for the church; the local church. We are edified when everyone is growing and participating in the local church.
We can pray in the spirit always, daily, without ceasing.
1st Corinthians 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
Our lifestyle of praying should be done in the spirit; praying in tongues.
*PRAYER:* Pray for every member of your local church this week, pray out in the spirit.
