Covering Spiritual leaders

If there is ever a time that we need to pray and cover our spiritual leaders it’s now. We cannot kick wounded soldiers to the curb and leave them there, we must engage in prayer and intercession for our spiritual leadership. Many are falling prey to all kinds of sins and attacks of the enemy, and we might argue that they should know better because they are in leadership, and that’s absolutely correct but so is everyone of us who finds ourselves in a fix and while we are fully aware of the sin and the damage it may cause, we still continue. There is absolutely no excuse for sin but we can see the ravaging effects of sin and demonic attacks on countless of leaders known and unknown. Many have sought help and deliverance but still there are many leaders who are under sever attacks in different ways because they are simply advancing the kingdom of God.

I wish to prevail upon all members of prayer network to pray for all spiritual leaders, whether they appear to need it or not. Many leaders may not seem to need prayer until we hear something ghastly. Please make a list of all spiritual leaders you know; pastors, evangelists, prophets, missionaries, apostles, teachers and other ministry leaders, starting from your local church to your favorite preachers and teachers on national television and make it a daily routine to cover them and their families with the precious blood of Jesus. Believe you the attack is great!

To fully grasp the meaning and importance of spiritual leadership, we must understand the spiritual principle involved. God always work through God- appointed, anointed leadership to bring forth His maximum purposes (Joy Dawson, 1997). God has shaped history around His people, the church and He expects them to shape the history of each nation. Demonic forces understand this importance, which is why spiritual leaders are particularly targeted. As believers there is much power in our prayers and we have the authority to stand our ground and cover the men and women of God who are in authority, so that their testimony will be intact and they will be able to accomplish all that God purposes through their lives and ministries.

James 5:16b …The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available dynamic in its working.

Pray for spiritual leaders!!!
