What Many Christians Don't Do That Baffles Me by NathanAnomaly: 9:06am On Jan 12, 2019
There is something many Christians don't do that baffles me.

MANY CHRISTAINS HARDLY PRAY FOR OTHERS.

Some people are presently on 21days or 40 days fast ( as the case may be) cos of the new year, but If u stumble upon a writen prayer request of the average Christain,


more than 80% or even 90% of the things you will find on the list is always about them, either their finances, their marriage or academics. it's always always about them and what they want.

The scripture says in

Job 19 Vs 25a.

" for I know my redeemer Liveth"

Job suffered alot because he only had a redeemer, he never had an advocate / intercessor who was standing in the gap for him.

His suffering would not have extended for that long if he had an intercessor.

In my opinion, you can't really call yourself a Christian if you hardly pray for others.

Even Jesus Christ in all his Glory, the Bible says he is at the right hand of the father and constantly making intercessions for the Saints. Romans 8 vs 34.

He is constantly making intercessions because he is our high priest.

The same bible tells us,

as he is, so are we in this world.

So if his nature is to intercessions in heaven, then why is your prayer request all about yourself. ?

Why are u not praying for others ?

Put down your prayer request today and take some days to pray for others. Call them by their names and pray for their marriages, their finances, the right association and every area of their lives.

Sometimes it's our selflessness in the place of prayer that will make God answer our unspoken prayers.

IT SHOULDN'T ALWAYS BE ABOUT YOU.

Nathan
