Today’s Reading:
Ephesians 6:18 – 20
Beloved, as you read today, I want you to also pray and ask God to show you the way to help your Pastor. Apostle Paul asks the Church to pray for Him because he understood the power in the prayer of the saint. Let us learn to pray for those who minister to us so that their ministry would continue to be effective.
A story was told about Dr. Wilbur Chapman “When Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman had finished his first sermon as the newly – elected Pastor of the Bethany Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, an aged man, leaning upon his cane, approached the famous preacher, and said “ I am afraid you will make a failure here”…. Dr. Chapman waited patiently for the Old man to finish his remarks. “You see”, he continued “we have always had a man of large experience and this is a large church. But I have made up my mind to help you.
“Chapman wondered just how this crippled Old man could help him, keep him from failing as Pastor of the Church. “I have resolved to pray for you every day that you are Pastor in this Church, and I have also covenanted with two other men to pray for you”….. with such undergirding, it is not surprising that in less than three years. Dr. Chapman should have received eleven hundred persons into his Church on the confession of faith.
You can help your Pastor too!
