Christians: Have You Prayed For Your Pastor Before? by God2man(m): 5:07am On Jun 02, 2012
2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 " Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith."
I was watching the TV one day when a Pastor said that a woman entered her counselling room and opened her breast, it was God that delivered this pastor, if not, that may be the end of his ministry.
I would like to say that at least 20 women are ready to sleep with the pastor, if they have the opportunity, they have been commissioned to pull the pastor down and destroy his testimony. Men of God are really walking through a dangerous path, they will pray for the sheep and if they are not careful, they will become spiritual casualties in the hand of their members through s.exual immorality.
That is not all, if you place a whole buliding on the head of one person (that is the head of the General Overseer) the head will misbehave as result of the pressure.
There are So many people waiting in the counselling room for the Pastor, how will he survive? It is not a tea party.
Pastors, Bishop, deacon, General overseers, Apostle, Evangelist need your prayers, it is not out of place to wake up in the midst of the night and say five minutes of intercessory prayers for your Pastor, it will go a long way to help him in the time of storm.
Paul the Apostle said in Roman 15 : 30- 32 " Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus christ's sake, and for the love of the spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;
That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judea; and that my service which i have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;
That i may come unto you with joy by the will of God, and may with you be refreshed."
We can see that when we pray for them we will be refreshed, and the work of God will move forward. If we keep quiet and refuse to pray for them, we are the greatest loser. Why? The name of your church will be ridiculed among the unbeliever, through the failure of your highly esteemed Pastors, shame, disgrace will cover you, the man of God you have been singing his praise will now become an object of mockery in the public, just because we believed that it is not neccesary to pray for our Pastors.
Whenever there is a problem in the church, we should not join the rebellious group and start pointing accusing finger to the Pastor, what we should do is to point that finger to ourselves and cry to God to give our Pastor the enabling grace to become what God had in mind concerning him.
Pastors are human being like us, they may not be right all the time, our responsibilty is to prayerfully go on our knees and intercede for them whenever there is crisis in the church.
The truth is that as long as we are on earth, it will be difficult to find a perfect church.
Managing finances is a child play compare to managing human being, it is even worst when these people are now managing the finances of the church, therefore, whether we like it or not, there will be crisis in the church. It is inevitable. Except they are not preaching the real word of God, but as long as the church is attacking the gate of hell everyday, there will be crisis, that is why the man of God must pray, and the members must also assist in lifting up Holy hands unto the Lord. The Lord will uphold his church in Jesus name.
God bless you. God2man.

@OP,
Indeed thought and action provoking.
Even Moses hands were helped up by Hur and Aaron.
Exodus 17:12.

I think this is a timely message.

May God give the moderator the courage to put it on the front page.
