Intercessory Prayer For Church Elders

Last Updated on September 23, 2021 by Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum

Today we will be dealing with intercessory prayer for church elders. Jesus told His disciples using Apostle Peter as a point of reference that on his rock, I will build my church, and the gate of hell shall not prevail over it. The elders of the church are the shoulder which the burden of the church rests upon, and Christ never promised that the gate of hell would not rise against the Church, he only promised that it would not prevail over the church. Hence, if the elders of the church are the bedrock of the church, then it becomes pertinent to pray for them if, honestly, we don’t want the gate of hell to prevail over the church.

Why is it important that we say an intercessory prayer for church elders? Firstly, it is because God commanded that we should make prayer for our leaders, and you will agree with me that the church elders are the leaders that oversee the affairs of the church. Also, we must raise an altar of intercessory prayer for church elders because we are part of the church. If the church should fail, that means we have failed because we owe the church a duty of care.

To this effect, it is therefore compulsory that we raise an altar of intercessory prayer for church elders to keep the church growing physically and spiritually. In our closest, let us endeavor to say the following prayers to help our church leaders overcome every temptation of the enemy.
