I
was blessed with the preaching I attended two years ago from a woman pastor in
World International Ministries- Naga City. It was about the prayer and how
powerful it is. She recalled all tragedies happening in different parts of the
world, the Philippines was always spared. Yes, we had storms but they are
considered a common disaster in the country and we’re always surviving it
nonetheless. But how about earthquakes and tsunamis that killed thousand lives
in other countries? She believed it is because there are lots of Christians
that are praying for our country and I believe in her as well. She said she had
different list of different prayer points to pray every day.
I was
inspired to do this so I created my own list as well. And start praying for
them. I did this for months and I lost the time to pray for them. But while I
am doing this, all the more I crave for other things to pray for. Now the Lord is
bringing back the fire in my heart to intercede and this time, He added more in
my prayer list. I asked God to help to become a prayer warrior to intercede
with the all things that are happening in this world. Who will intercede in
behalf of those lost souls except us? I believe it is not just enough to pray
for our family, for our church that we belong but all the things that are
happening in this world. He said in Philippians 4:6 “Be careful for nothing,
but in everything by prayer and supplication let your request be known unto
God”.
And we are
also responsible for our own generation just like what Daniel did in his time.
In Daniel 9:3-19, he is praying for his nation. He knew that Jerusalem is
nearly approaching destruction and he stood up for his nation. We are tasked to
do the same. How? By prayer and supplication. Jesus promised in John 14:13-14,
whatever we asked in His name, He will do it.
I posted
this to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ to pray. This might sound
too many and overwhelming but once you started it as a habit, you will want to
pray more just like what I experienced before. I want to redeem the time and
start praying for them. You can have your own list and pray for all the items I
posted here. You might want to add them as well.
