Pastor Joel Jenkins
YOUTH PASTOR | WORD OF FAITH | SOUTHFIELD, MI
What is up you all? This is Pastor Joel Jenkins and this is day two of our 30 days of prayer. We are praying for our pastors and our spiritual leaders. I am reminded of a time when I was younger when we would play outside on a dirt mound or a pile of leaves or something. We would play games on a pile of snow and we would call it king of the hill. The objective was to get to the top of this hill and then you would knock somebody else off.
I don’t know if you recognize this but our leaders and our pastors are operating from an elevated position and they get to see things before we do. Sometimes they have to make decisions that we don’t necessarily see but they do affect us. So it is so important for us to pray and to lift up our spiritual leaders and pastors the same way that Moses - his arms were lifted up - it talked about it in Exodus where Aaron and Hur lifted up his arms and as his arms were being lifted up, Israel was winning the fight.
They did this until sunset. But when his arms would start to fall they would start to lose. So it is so important that it we keep our spiritual leaders and our pastors - we keep them lifted up in prayer and we protect them with our words and we speak kindly about them and we continue to pray for them. It’s very important for our future as well as theirs. So today I want to encourage you again to pray for your pastor as well as our spiritual leaders. Thanks.
