- The end of the year marks an extremely busy season for leaders in the Body of Christ. In this context, we address those in the five-fold ministry who have oversight over spiritual well-being of others; whether in a church setting, or as counselors etc. Lately, there has been so much exposure and disappointment in men/women of the Lord who serve others spiritually in various capacities. Sexual and financial abuse have ranked high, domestic violence and other marital challenges, financial lack leading to many atrocities plague them.
- Most times we may get lost in the naming, blaming and finger pointing without realizing that these are frontliners in a never-ending spiritual war. They don’t only carry responsibility for their personal spiritual lives, but they are responsible for the souls of others.
- Ask the Lord to forgive you and kingdom citizens where we have taken the wrong stance rather than becoming intercessors between a Redemptive God and sinful spiritual leaders.
- Pray that the Lord will make you an agent of reconciliation in every situation which involves pastors and where the name of the Lord is being defamed by tricksters too.
- Pray that where pastors have inadvertently been heartbroken and thus suffer the consequences in various ways, there will be a deep healing as the Spirit of the Lord ministers to them, and as you raise an intercession on their behalf in this season.
