Pastoral ministry is a dangerous ministry which requires steadfastness in the word and strength in the Holy Spirit coupled with being empowered to do great exploits for oneself and the congregation God had committed into one’s hand. It can’t be taken with levity but with all seriousness and boldness to pull down the kingdom of darkness and lead souls to the kingdom of our heavenly father, God. Pastors like Shepherd oversee the congregation to nourish and nurture them in the sound doctrine of God. Just like Jesus preached and guided his disciples including praying for them not to be lost to the world, pastors also play an important role in ensuring the congregation are well grounded in the scriptures, guide them to live a life of righteousness and purity before God, pray for them always, help to strengthen God’s believers and share in some of the burdens of His church. Pastors are needed in organizing the work of God and ensure the gospel is being spread accordingly. 

As believers in God’s kingdom who are heavenly bounded, we should always have it at the back of our mind that Pastors are also human and just as Apostle Paul admonished the church to pray for them, we are meant to always be committing our pastors into God’s hands so that in all things, they are also upright and living in righteousness and purity of heart. Interceding for our pastors must be done continually. We should always pray for them to resist and overcome all temptations and trials that will come their way. Pastors face many challenges everyday which they can burden the congregation with because they are meant to always strengthen the church. Praying for them helps strengthen their faith in God, prevent them from going astray and help them to grow deeper in the revelation of the word. Praying for pastors from going astray helps them to always desire the presence and the guidance of God in their ways. This article contained 40 prayer points believers can use to pray for their pastors in their various denominations from going astray and God will surely keep his laborers from falling into the ditch and keep their lives void of sins. Amen.
