SUNDAY THANKSGIVING AND CELEBRATION OF THE WORD | 09 August 2026
Preacher: Pastor Christian
Theme: The Priesthood of Prayer
Reference: 1 Peter 2:9
Pastor Christian teaches that the priesthood of prayer speaks about the believer’s responsibility before God. As royal priests, believers are called to maintain an altar of prayer and keep the spiritual fire burning.
According to 1 Peter 2:9, believers are a royal priesthood, meaning that God has chosen them to live a life of prayer, dedication, and intimacy with Him.
The Impact of Fire
Reference: Acts 28:1–6
The preacher explains that when God restores, He does not simply return what was lost; He can restore it in greater measure.
He also emphasizes that the people around someone may know their struggles and see what they are going through, but they cannot always experience the battle with them.
The Representation of Fire
Reference: Exodus 24:17
• Fire represents the presence of God.
The glory of God is often represented through consuming fire, showing that where the fire is, God’s presence is manifested.
• Fire represents the judgment of God.
Psalm 11:6 shows fire as an expression of God’s judgment. When God’s fire is present, there is no room for opposition.
• Fire represents spiritual security.
2 Kings 6:17 shows that God surrounds His people with heavenly protection. Like a wall of fire, God’s presence provides spiritual security.
Truths About the Priesthood
An authentic servant of God is someone chosen by God and given a divine mission.
Because priests carry God’s purpose and represent His presence, they become particular targets of spiritual opposition. Therefore, they must remain spiritually alert, maintain their altar, and keep the fire of prayer burning.
The priesthood of prayer is not simply a title ,it is a responsibility to God. For the full experience, watch the complete service here: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/18NtBdimst/?mibextid=wwXIfr
