TOPIC: THE POWER OF PRAYING FOR OTHERS
DEVOTION, WORD FOR THOUGHT AND PRAYERS WITH APOSTLE ABRAHAM ABODERIN

TEXT: Job 42:10 (NKJV) And the Lord restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed, the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Job had lost everything that he had; he lost his children, his health and his wealth. However, his turning point did not come when he prayer for himself, but when he prayed for others. The moment when he shifted his gaze from what he was facing and to his friends, his situation changed. When you pray, you are setting into motion the forces of heaven to move on your behalf

Job’s story tells us that sometimes your breakthrough is wrapped into praying for others. As a believer, you must know that prayer is a very powerful arsenal of a believer. Job’s friends had misunderstood him by judging him and wounded him with their words
1. Intercession Heals the Heart
When Job prayed for his friends, he was still covered with ash and boils, but when he interceded for His friends, something changed on the inside. When you intercede for others, you are not just helping them, but you are healing yourself
Matthew 5:44 Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.
2. Intercession Invites Divine Restoration
What you make happen for others, God makes to happen for you. When you bless other people, you are opening the door for your own blessings. When you pray for the healing of others, then you will also be healed. When you lift others in prayers, you are carrying out the ministry of Christ on earth
• Galatians 6:2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
3. Intercession Connects You to the Heart of God
Jesus is currently interceding for you in heaven right now. When you pray for others, you are joining Christ in is present ministry. When you pray for others, you start to seeing them through the eyes of
grace nYour prayer shifts from asking God to give you and instead to praying for God’s blessings for others if there are people that have hurt you, pray for them until forgiveness and grace starts to flow in your heart for them
