Be Concerned About The World
Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin
against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you…
(1 Samuel 12:23).
A true soul winner isn’t only concerned about
the souls in his immediate locality, but also
about the evangelization of the world. You must,
with renewed vigour, become concerned about the
salvation that Jesus Christ has brought to the whole
world. No matter how concerned you are about your
locality, you must at the same time think about the
regions beyond. Jesus puts it clearly in Mark 16:15:
“…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel
to every creature.”
As we anticipate the Master’s soon return, you
may never as one individual, be able to go into the
entire world and preach to every soul on the face of the
earth. However, there’re ways you can still be effective
in global evangelism. One of such ways is through
intercession; praying for the salvation of lost souls.
Every Christian that’s truly been touched by the Holy
Spirit burns with passion for intercession. Therefore, be
diligent in praying for lost souls and other believers in
different parts of the world who may be experiencing
challenges and difficulties.
The Bible tells us to pray for those who are in
trouble. Many Christians around the world are being
persecuted for their faith. Some are being martyred
for believing in Jesus Christ. Some are suffering terribly
in hospitals, writhing in severe pains, due to sickness
and disease. They may not even have enough faith to
think about being healed, but your intercessory prayer
can help them.
Some Christians are in prison for offenses they
didn’t commit. Then you have the orphans, the poor,
and those who have been neglected by society. Don’t
just wish that things will get better for them; rather,
from time to time, intercede fervidly on their behalf!
When you’re that concerned about those that are
in need, God programmes your life for abundance,
success and prosperity; He grants you increased grace
to do more for others.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for making the souls of men all
over the world beautiful to me.
I thank you for stirring in me the spirit of intercession, and today,
I make power available for salvation, healing, restoration
and protection for my brothers and sisters in Christ, all over the world,
in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
