Here are prayer points for church members with scriptures that you can use to pray.
By the way, the church is not the building or place where you meet to worship (worship center), the church is the individual members that make up the congregation.
If those individuals are not there, then you have no church.
So, it matters what you do with and for each member of your church.
Now, as a pastor or leader, you have a call by God to raise for Him a church of His passion, a congregation of people who are holy, blameless and without spot or wrinkle. (See Ephesians 5:24-32, KJV)
You are called to grow and mature these individual believers until they become like Christ in every way – character, thoughts, attitudes, talk, walk and passion.
For short, God is depending on you for the formation of Christ in these individual believers. (See Galatians 5:19, NIV)
And for this to effectively happen you have to break the ground in prayer, water it with the word all through and also sustain the work through prayer.
So, you can readily see that if you want to be effective at building people to become like Christ, it has to be done from start to finish through prayer.
This is where this post tagged prayer points for church members with scriptures comes handy.
Are you ready to bend the knee for members of your church no matter how long… until Christ be formed in them?
Lets’ do it together.
