PRAY FERVENTLY FOR FELLOW BELIEVERS

Colossians 4:12, Ephesians 6:18, Luke 22:31-32a

Epaphras, … is one of you…, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God. *Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;…Simon… Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee

Praying for others is something that should always be a part of our prayer time; especially for fellow believers. In Romans 1:9, Paul said “For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;” In Ephesians 1:15-16 he said “Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;” Epaphras did not just pray for others, he laboured fervently in prayers for others. Do you know that when Jesus was on the earth, He prayed fervently for all His disciples and followers; including you and me who will come to know Him? (John 17:20) After doing that, Jesus is still interceding for us right now before God the Father, (Heb.7:25). Jesus’ prayer for Peter prevented Peter from being sifted as wheat by the devil.

Pray for new converts. Pray for me. Pray for the church and all ministers of the Gospel. Pray prayers based on the revelation of Christ. Pray based on the things you are aware other believers are going through even in other nations. Pray for God’s strength and intervention in their lives. Spend time praying in the Spirit for other believers. You may not know the great help, power, blessings and glory of God your prayers are causing to manifest in the lives of other believers.

Action Point:
Pray in the Spirit and ask God to help believers around you stand perfect and complete in His will for their lives.
