MAN OF GOD YOU’RE STILL A MAN, IF YOU RAISE YOUR HANDS FOR TOO LONG, THE HANDS WILL GROW HEAVY.
YOU’RE MAKING A MISTAKE IF YOU LEAVE ALL THE PROBLEM SOLVING TO THE GENERAL OVERSEER.
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT OTHER GENERAL OVERSEERS BUT I AM A MAN, AND I HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP IN MY PRAYER ROOM BEFORE.
YOU NEED PRAYER PARTNERS.
DON’T SAY THAT I AM THE PASTOR, WHY SHOULD I ASK THE WORKERS TO PRAY FOR ME.
-Pastor E A Adeboye
You need partners. Exodus 17:8-13. In the war of the Amalekites that we have referred to earlier on, Amalekites attacked the Children of Israel and Moses went to the mountain top, he took Aaron and Hur, Joshua with the little army they had were in the valley below, doing the physical fighting, Moses was there doing the spiritual, he lifted up his hands, as long as his hands were up, the children of Israel were winning, when his hands grew heavy, man of God you’re still a man, if you raise your hands for too long, the hands will grow heavy. But fortunately, there were two people there, Aaron and Hur, they lifted up his hands until the battle was won.
Brethren, you’re making a mistake if you leave all the problem solving to the General Overseer. I don’t know of other General Overseers but I know that the one talking to you now is a human being, he still goes to the toilet and he still falls asleep once in a while.
I think I have told you before of a time when there was convention going in and then particular on the most important day of the convention, on Friday, it rained and one of my children challenged me, he said Daddy it rained, I said yes it did, he said you’re supposed to be in the prayer room praying, I said yes, I was there, how did it rain? I said I fell asleep, he said: You! How can you fall asleep? Sit down there, how many times have you prayed for me in any case that I shouldn’t fall asleep.
Pray for your Moses, lift up his hands, there is the need for team work. You need partners. 2nd Samuel 21:15-17. The Bible says David went to war against the Philistines, the great giant killer became tired, the Bible said he wax faint and as soon as the enemy saw that, they rejoiced because opportunity has come let’s kill him and there was this great giant, the way they described him, probably he was even bigger than Goliath, he would have finished up David but somebody was there that came to his rescue, so that the battle was won, there is the need for partnership, don’t be too proud to ask for help from other prayer warriors.
Don’t say that I am the pastor, why should I ask the workers to pray for me. Matthew 26;37-40. The Lord Jesus Christ himself when he was facing the biggest battle of his life, he called three of his disciples to come along to pray with him. When he came back and he found them sleeping he said haa, you can’t even watch with me for one hour.
If the Lord asks for partners to come and watch with him, who are you, Paul the Apostles said again and again, pray for us. 1st Thessalonians 5:25. Pray for us. 2nd Thessalonians 3:1. 2nd Corinthians 1:11. He told the Corinthian Church: Pray for us. Colossians 4, pray for us.
You need partners, Paul was the one who brought the gospel to all these people and now he is asking them to pray for him. Acts 12:1-11. The Bible said the enemy grabbed one of the Apostles and killed him and saw that the Christians were rejoicing and they went further to grab Peter also, but now the Bible says this time around the Church gathered around to pray for Peter. They didn’t pray for James, so James died and James was a great man of God, in fact he was the chairman anytime the Apostles held a meeting and now Peter, this time they prayed for Peter and an angel came and set him free. Pray for us!
Get a prayer partner at least one. Husband if your wife is a true child of God, let her be your prayer partner, wife the same, children let your parents be your prayer partner, parents do the same to your children.
