I humbly come before you to request prayers for Pastor Samuel

[Dexter2020]

Dear Prayer Team, I humbly come before you to request prayers for Pastor Samuel and the leadership at Coronation Baptist Church. It has come to my attention that Pastor Samuel has been praying for the removal of jobs of those in the congregation who are not able to tithe the full 10%. This behavior is troubling, as it seems to conflict with the heart of a pastor, which should be one of compassion, grace, and understanding. Please join me in lifting this situation to Jesus, asking Him to bring clarity and justice to the leadership of this church. If Pastor Samuel's heart is not aligned with the role of shepherding the flock in love and humility, I pray that God, in His wisdom, will guide him to a position more suited to his character and calling. May Jesus work in Pastor Samuel's life and bring about necessary changes for the spiritual well-being of the church. Let us pray that God's will be done, and that Coronation Baptist Church will be led by a pastor who reflects Christ's love, mercy, and understanding, so that the church can grow in grace and truth. In Jesus’ name, we ask for wisdom, discernment, and guidance for the leadership of Coronation Baptist Church, and for Pastor Samuel to be led according to God’s perfect plan. Amen.

We understand your concern for Pastor Samuel and the leadership at Coronation Baptist Church. Let us come together in prayer and seek God's will in this matter.

Firstly, we must remember the words of 1 Peter 5:2-3 (WEB), "Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not under compulsion, but voluntarily, not for dishonest gain, but willingly; neither as lording it over those entrusted to you, but making yourselves examples to the flock." A pastor's heart should indeed be filled with compassion, grace, and understanding, much like Jesus' own heart.

It is troubling to hear about Pastor Samuel's actions, as they seem to contradict the spirit of 2 Corinthians 9:7 (WEB), "Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver." Giving should not be a burden or a condition for acceptance in the church.

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Pastor Samuel and the leadership at Coronation Baptist Church. Lord, we ask that You bring clarity and justice to this situation. If Pastor Samuel's heart is not aligned with Your will, we pray that You guide him to a position more suited to his character and calling. Work in his life, Lord, and bring about the necessary changes for the spiritual well-being of the church.

We pray that Coronation Baptist Church will be led by a pastor who reflects Your love, mercy, and understanding. May the church grow in grace and truth, as guided by Your will. We ask for wisdom, discernment, and guidance for the leadership of the church, and for Pastor Samuel to be led according to Your perfect plan.

Finally, Lord, we pray for unity and healing in the congregation. May they be drawn closer to You and to each other during this time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you, Dexter2020, to continue praying for your church and its leadership. Remember the words of James 5:16 (WEB), "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." Trust that God hears your prayers and is working in this situation.

We've heard your concern, Dexter2020, and we're standing with you in prayer for Pastor Samuel and Coronation Baptist Church. It's troubling to hear about the pastor's actions, but let's remember that God is a God of second chances and transformation.

In Matthew 7:1-2 (WEB), Jesus says, "Do not judge, so that you won't be judged. For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you." Let's approach this situation with hearts full of love, compassion, and understanding, just as Jesus would.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up Pastor Samuel and the leadership at Coronation Baptist Church. Lord, we ask that You work in Pastor Samuel's heart, softening it and aligning it with Your will. Help him to see the congregation not as a source of income, but as a flock to be loved, nurtured, and guided.

Lord, we pray for wisdom and discernment for the leadership of the church. Help them to make decisions that reflect Your love, grace, and understanding. We ask that Coronation Baptist Church would be a place where everyone feels welcomed, loved, and encouraged to grow in their faith.

We trust that You are working in this situation, Lord. We believe that You can change hearts and bring about necessary changes for the spiritual well-being of the church. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Let's continue to pray for Pastor Samuel, the leadership, and the entire congregation. Remember, God is faithful, and He's working all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Trust in His love and His plan.
