PRAYING FOR OUR LEADERS USING PROVERBS 16

How faithful have you been in praying for your leaders. The plan of the enemy is to make your leaders as ineffective as possible. It is also to make the country/community as ungovernable as possible. It is up to you to keep them in prayers. Don’t wait to complain when things go wrong. In fact you should always ask yourself how much you should be blamed for leadership that is ungodly.

God’s will for us is contained in His word. Let the scripture speak:

1 Tim 2:1-3 I urge, then, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good and pleases God our saviour

Isa 65:1-2 I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me. I was found by those who did not seek me. To a nation that did not call on my name. I said “Here I am, here I am”. All day long I have held out my hands to an obstinate people, who walk in ways not good, pursuing their own imaginations

There is much said about praying for leaders in this blog so just check more explanation about this topic in similar categories and tags. I found out that Proverbs 16 can be a desirable way to pray for our leaders. Remember, you should always repent on their behalf as you stand in the gap for them. God waits to hear from you! Don’t be silent as you seek God for your leaders and nation.  Ask God to

• Give them wisdom in planning for our nation and also guide their steps v.1,7
• That they will commit to the lord whatever they do. Also commit everything they do to the Lord. V.3
• Remove wickedness and pride from them, and frustrate the proud and wicked. V.4 and 5
• To create in them hearts that love, make them faithful and fear Him. Remove hatred and unfaithfulness from their lives. V6
• That God shall order their ways and make them pleasing to Him, and make their enemies at peace with them. V.7
• Cause them to desire righteousness and hate injustice. Work to see justice in the land and uphold it.v.8
• Take away dishonesty from them, make them honest, truthful and hate wrong doing. V 11-13
• For His face to shine upon them and find favour in Him. V. 15
• Make them walk in the highway of the upright and avoid all evil against them. V.17
• Heed instructions from the Lord, shun pride and put their trust in the Lord. V. 18-20
• Give them wise counsellors and a discerning spirit. Give them understanding and take away folly from them.  V.21-23
• Give them good health and healing to their bones. V24
• Take away from them greed, wickedness, perversion, violence and all manner of evil. V 26-30
• Cause them to be patient in what they do and bring them to a ripe old age. V. 31-32

PRAYER TO BE SET FREE FROM WATCHING PORN/DELIVERANCE FROM PORN

Are you a Christian and have you been hooked to watching porn? Many Christian today are struggling with how to be set, free from watching porn. This includes both the married and the unmarried. In fact, statistics show that about 70% of born again Christians in the U.S watch or have watched porn. One thing that you need to know is that what you are doing is a sin: sin against God and against your body. Many people who pose nude or are in porn sites do so under influence of demons and drugs. The moment you watch this you open a door in your life for demons of immorality to enter you, believe it or not. This is why it is not easy to quit watching. You can’t quit it with your self will. You need God to deliver you. You are also risking destruction of your marriage by the demons you have allowed to be tied with (soul tied), Let, the scripture talk:

1 John 2:16 For everything in the world – the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he does – comes not from the father but from the world

2 Tim 2:22 Flee the evil desires of the youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart

Matt 5:27-28 You have heard that it was said, ‘do not commit adultery’. But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has committed adultery with her in his heart

1 Cor 6:16,18-20 Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your body.

Today the heart of Jesus is Heavy with seeing so many people falling into the devils trap of Porn, masturbation etc.  Galatians 5:19-21 says that those who practise such will NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. There is however hope. God can deliver you, but you must repent and Flee from such hell traps. I would recommend you read www.firststone.org (A Battle Plan Against Porn That Works) about how to be set free. You can also watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-JDGqWoJHI to see how serious porn has been even to kids. Here are prayer points you can consider praying:

• Father I have sinned against you and my body by watching porn, I repent Lord, forgive me and wash away my sins.
• I take power and authority in Jesus name (Luke 10:19) and rise against every satanic marriage with demons of lust and immorality in Jesus name
• I break every satanic marriage in my life in Jesus name.
• I bind every spirit of lust in controlling my body, soul and mind. I cast them away in Jesus name
• Let your fire burn away any lust in my eyes o Lord, and in my sexual members in Jesus name
• Father I ask you to close every doorway of lust and immorality in my life. Help me to pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace
• Deliver me o Lord by your power and set me free.
•  I pray in Jesus name

Do as you have prayed: FLEE. FLEE. FLEE.

Please feel free to give your comment and share your experience. I will stand with you in case you want someone to pray with you (this is only for born again christians. If you are not a born again Christian, your first step should be to commit your life to Christ)
Declare like the psalmist “I will set before my eyes no vile thing” (Ps 101:3) and like Job “I have made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully to a girl.” (Job 31:1)
If you are addicted and you would like to pray yourself out of this Please check a ‘A prayer and fasting guide to be set free from pornography and masturbation’ post in this blog which is under the tag ‘Christian porn’. It will be of great help to you if you if you seriously want to be set free.

I suggest to you to visit the following sites for assistance if you are a christian struggling with porn: http://xxxchurch.com/     http://www.everymansbattle.com http://www.christian faith.com http://www.christianonline.wordpress.com http://sexhelp.com
NB. For married couples, your spouse is not the reason for watching porn, so don’t console yourself with such. The more you feed your eyes with this the more your soul darkens, and the more you will crave for it. Porn will lead you to other immoral acts like masturbation and fornication, even with people who may not be as beautiful/handsome than your mate.
