Pray Without Ceasing Series Part 9 (Prayer for children of Leaders and Pastors)
Thursday, October 30, 2025Key Verse
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.” 1 Timothy 2:1
Text — 1 Timothy 2:1-8
Message
Eli was a revered man of God in Israel. He was the one who saw Hannah praying and assured her that God would grant her request. The answer to that prayer was the birth of Samuel. Unfortunately, while he was faithful in his service to the Lord, his children were living in sin and making God angry.
This method is being used by the devil from generation to generation to destroy some leaders’ ministry. Whilst the parents are busy preaching the gospel and bringing souls to the kingdom of heaven, the children are being distracted, misguided and enticed to do contrary to the godly lifestyle that they have been shown. This is why it is very important and necessary to always pray for the children of pastors, evangelists and other ministers of the gospel. If you are a child of a leader in the church, pray for yourself and for others too. Pray that:
1. The Lord will plant His fear in the hearts of our leaders’ children.
2. They will seek God early and serve Him whole heartedly
3. God will frustrate the works of the devil over our leaders’ children.
4. The children of the church fathers will lead an exemplary life of love, godliness and selfless service.
5. The children of our pastors, overseers, missionaries will be preserved from all harms, promoted and have success in all areas of their lives.
