PHOTO: Why is intercessory prayer a necessary part of Christian discipleship?
Intercessory prayer has power, when we learn to pray for others.
We naturally pray for others, especially when they are facing crisis or have some needs. And God does answer such prayers. But not many pray regularly for others, apart from possibly family members.
Older folks may have more time available to pray unhurriedly, bringing people before God. It is a great ministry that not only glorifies God and helps others, but also builds our spiritual lives. We may lose physical strength and stamina, and even our mobility, but we can always pray, even on hospital beds and wheelchairs. It is the spiritual discipline we can hold on to, right to the end.
In praying for others, we learn to be like Jesus who, even now, is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25). Jesus, along with the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:27), is the Divine Intercessor.
When we pray for others, we join the Lord and His Spirit in praying to the Father. Isn't that amazing? We are caught up with the internal intercession that is going on within the Trinity. What great mystery and privilege!
See chapter for a list of people we ought to pray for. See also Luke 11:9; Colossians 4:2; Romans 12:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Make a list of people you ought to be praying for.
The Bible encourages us to pray for:
What do you think you should be asking God for on their behalf?
We can use several intercessory prayers as models. For instance, the apostle Paul prayed for fellow Christians in Philippians 1:9-11; Ephesians 1:17-19; 3:14-19; Colossians 1:9-12. We can substitute the names of others and pray for them using the same words.
We can also think about where in their journey with God different people are, what their needs may be, and pray accordingly. When people ask us to pray for them, we should not only say that we will, but actually do it!
We can pray for those we will be meeting on a particular day, or those we meet accidentally. We need to pray for those struggling with sickness and hospitalisation - and pray with a regularity that will not only enable us to bring them daily before God's throne, but also remind us of their needs and perhaps reveal how we can be of service to them and their loved ones.
There are so many people we know who have needs - in our families, among our friends, in church, in our workplace, and in our neighbourhood. How wonderful it would be if we brought them all to God in prayer!
We can even pray for those we read about in the media - victims of tragedy, people who are serving others and doing good, individuals trapped in crime, and many more.

- Fellow Christians (Ephesians 6:18)
- Pastors, missionaries, and other servants of God (1 Thessalonians 5:25)
- The sick (James 5:14-16)
- Those in authority (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
- Enemies and persecutors (Matthew 5:44)

Christian apologist Lee Strobel tells this amazing true story:
In Equatorial Africa, far from pharmacies and hospitals, a woman died in childbirth, leaving behind a grieving two-year-old daughter and a premature baby in danger of succumbing to the chill of the night. With no incubator, no electricity, and a few supplies, the newborn's life was in jeopardy.

A helper filled a hot water bottle to maintain the warmth desperately needed by the infant, but suddenly the rubber burst - and it was the last hot water bottle in the village.
A visiting missionary physician from Northern Ireland, Dr Helen Roseveare, asked the orphans to pray for the situation - but a faith-filled ten-year-old named Ruth seemed to go too far.
"Please, God, send us a warm water bottle," she implored. "It'll be no good tomorrow, God, the baby'll be dead; so please send it this afternoon." As if that request was not sufficiently audacious, she added, "And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she'll know You really love her?"

A couple of hours later, a car dropped off a twenty-two-pound package. The orphans helped open it and sort through the contents: some clothing for them, bandages for the leprosy patients, and a bit of food.

Oh, and this: "As I put my hand in again, I felt the . . . could it really be? I grasped it, and pulled it out. Yes. A brand-new rubber, hot water bottle!" said Roseveare. "I cried. I had not asked God to send it; I had not truly believed that He could."
With that, little Ruth rushed forward. "If God has sent the bottle, He must have sent the dolly too!" she exclaimed.

She dug through the packaging and found it at the bottom of the parcel: a beautiful dressed doll. Asked Ruth, "Can I go over with you, Mummy, and give this dolly to that little girl, so that she'll know that Jesus really loves her?"
The parcel had been packed five months earlier by Roseveare's former Sunday school class. The leader, feeling prompted by God, included the hot water bottle; a girl contributed the doll.
And this package, the only one ever to arrive, was delivered the same day Ruth prayed for it with the faith of a child. [83]

We naturally pray for others, especially when they are facing crisis or have some needs. And God does answer such prayers. But not many pray regularly for others, apart from possibly family members.

Older folks may have more time available to pray unhurriedly, bringing people before God. It is a great ministry that not only glorifies God and helps others, but also builds our spiritual lives. We may lose physical strength and stamina, and even our mobility, but we can always pray, even on hospital beds and wheelchairs. It is the spiritual discipline we can hold on to, right to the end.

Older folks may have more time available to pray unhurriedly, bringing people before God. It is a great ministry that not only glorifies God and helps others, but also builds our spiritual lives. We may lose physical strength and stamina, and even our mobility, but we can always pray, even on hospital beds and wheelchairs. It is the spiritual discipline we can hold on to, right to the end.

In praying for others, we learn to be like Jesus who, even now, is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us (Romans 8:34; Hebrews 7:25). Jesus, along with the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:27), is the Divine Intercessor.

When we pray for others, we join the Lord and His Spirit in praying to the Father. Isn't that amazing? We are caught up with the internal intercession that is going on within the Trinity. What great mystery and privilege! [84]
See chapter for a list of people we ought to pray for. See also Luke 11:9; Colossians 4:2; Romans 12:12; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Make a list of people you ought to be praying for. [1]
The Bible encourages us to pray for:
What do you think you should be asking God for on their behalf? [1]
We can use several intercessory prayers as models. For instance, the apostle Paul prayed for fellow Christians in Philippians 1:9-11; Ephesians 1:17-19; 3:14-19; Colossians 1:9-12. We can substitute the names of others and pray for them using the same words.

We can pray for those we will be meeting on a particular day, or those we meet accidentally. We need to pray for those struggling with sickness and hospitalisation - and pray with a regularity that will not only enable us to bring them daily before God's throne, but also remind us of their needs and perhaps reveal how we can be of service to them and their loved ones.

PHOTO: "Dear Lord, we pray the modelled intercessory prayers that the apostle Paul prayed for fellow Christians.
Philippians 1:9-11
'We pray that our love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that we may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.'
Ephesians 1:17-19
'We ask that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we may know him better. We pray that the eyes of our heart may be enlightened in order that we may know the hope to which he has called us, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength'
Ephesians 3:14-19
'For this reason we kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. We pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen us with power through his Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith. And we pray that we, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide, long, high, and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.'
Colossians 1:9-12
'Help us not to stop praying for all of us. We continually ask God to fill us with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, so that we may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that we may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.'
Lord, help us to think about where different people in their journey with God are, what their needs may be, and pray accordingly. When people ask us to pray for them, we should not only say that we will, but actually do it!
Help us to pray for those we will be meeting on a particular day, or those we meet accidentally.

Help us to pray for the so many people we read about in the media - victims of tragedy, people who are serving others and doing good, individuals trapped in crime, and those who are facing crisis or have some needs.
We pray that our Intercessory prayer has power, and that God will answer such prayers.
Help us, older folks who may have more time available to pray unhurriedly, bringing people before God. It is a great ministry that not only glorifies God and helps others, but also builds our spiritual lives.
We learn that although we may lose our physical strength and stamina, and even our mobility, but we can always pray, even on hospital beds and wheelchairs. It is the spiritual discipline we can hold on to, right to the end.
In praying for others, help us to be like Jesus who, even now, is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us.
Jesus, along with the Holy Spirit, is the Divine Intercessor. It will be amazing when we pray for others, we join the Lord and His Spirit in praying to the Father. It is a great mystery and privilege to get caught up with the internal intercession that is going on within the Trinity.
Through Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen!"
