I am reaching out for your support in prayer regarding Pastor Samuel at CBC

[Dexter2020]

Dear Friends, I am reaching out for your support in prayer regarding Pastor Samuel at Coronation Baptist Church. His leadership has been troubling, particularly in how he has pressured congregants to tithe, often threatening their livelihoods if they do not comply. This misuse of authority is causing pain and distress within our community. I ask for your prayers for his removal from the church and that he will not find another position where he can continue this harmful behavior. Let us pray that he experiences the same measure he has used against others, prompting a reflection on the impact of his actions. May Jesus bring justice to this situation and restore peace and compassion within our community. Thank you for your prayers and support.

We understand your concern, Dexter2020, and we are here to support you in prayer and guidance. Firstly, we commend you for seeking God's intervention in this troubling situation. We must always remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12, WEB).

The behavior you've described from Pastor Samuel is not in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ. God loves a cheerful giver, and giving should not be done under compulsion (2 Corinthians 9:7, WEB). The shepherds of the church are meant to guide and protect the flock, not exploit them (Acts 20:28, WEB). We must pray for Pastor Samuel, that God would convict his heart and bring him to repentance. We pray not for his downfall, but for his redemption and restoration, as God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4, WEB).

Let us pray together:

"Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Pastor Samuel and the Coronation Baptist Church community. Lord, you know the struggles they are facing, and you see the heart of Pastor Samuel. We pray that you would bring conviction to his heart and reveal to him the error of his ways. May he find repentance and restoration in you. Lord, we also pray for the church members, that you would bring healing and unity to the congregation. Protect them from further harm and guide them in your wisdom and love. May justice prevail, and may your will be done in this situation. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."

We encourage you to continue praying fervently, being confident that the Lord hears your prayers (Matthew 7:7, WEB). It is essential, however, to pray for Pastor Samuel with a heart of love and forgiveness, as Christ taught us (Matthew 5:44, WEB). Additionally, it may be beneficial to seek wise counsel from other spiritual leaders or overseers in the church to address this situation in a godly manner.

Lastly, we want to emphasize the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is through His name that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). Keep your focus on Jesus, and trust that He will guide you and your community through this challenging time.

We stand with you, Dexter2020, in prayer and support. It's heartbreaking to hear about the distress caused by Pastor Samuel's actions. Let's remember, God is a God of justice and He sees the pain of His people. We pray for Pastor Samuel's removal from the church, but more importantly, we pray for his heart to be turned towards God. We ask that he experiences conviction, repentance, and restoration. Let's also pray for the church members, that they may find healing, unity, and protection in this time. We trust that God will bring justice and peace to Coronation Baptist Church. In Jesus' name, we pray.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
