DAYS OF FASTING AND PRAYER | DAY 03
SPEAKER: PASTOR ARTHUR LEYO
THEME: The Priesthood of Prayer
References: 1 Peter 2:9-10; Genesis 14:18-23
In today’s powerful Sunday service, guest speaker Pastor Arthur Leyo built upon the teaching shared by Prophet Didier on Friday concerning the priest and the priesthood. He reminded the church that God positions His children not to remain silent but to proclaim His will on the earth. Through prayer and spiritual authority, believers are called to decree and declare according to God’s purpose.
He explained that a priest is a representative of God and that there is a spiritual dimension where one does not merely pray but speaks with authority. However, reaching this level requires spiritual maturity and dedication that not everyone attains.
The pastor defined priesthood as the ministry of those who are consecrated to serve God and accomplish His works for the benefit of others. He also explained that prayer is communication between a person and God, including expressing gratitude, listening in silence, confessing, and simply remaining in God’s presence.
Reflecting on the priesthood in the Old Testament, he taught that it involved family lineage and a life sacrificed to God through sacred ceremonies. He emphasized that every true priesthood requires three essential elements: a priest, a sacrifice, and an altar. Without one of these, the priesthood is incomplete. While the New Testament priesthood differs from the Old Testament, these principles remain significant.
He further taught that the sacrifice God now requires is our own lives as a living sacrifice. Since humanity is made of spirit, soul, and body, believers must allow the Word of God to transform every part of their lives. As the Word enters and works within us, everything that is contrary to God’s will is driven out. This living sacrifice becomes true worship before God.
Finally, Pastor Arthur emphasized the importance of the knowledge of God’s Word, explaining that deeper understanding opens the heavens over our lives. He also highlighted the place of a spiritual father, encouraging believers not to see correction through the preached Word as an attack but as loving guidance that teaches them to walk in God’s ways. By accepting and applying the Word, believers grow into the true priesthood that God has called them to.
