Message

Prayer

1. Thank You, Lord, for all the elders around me. Thank You for preserving their lives and for giving me the opportunity to learn from them.

2. Father, please give all the elders around me sound health, physically and mentally. Keep sicknesses and diseases far from them, in Jesus' name.

3. Father, please surround the elders with love. Do not let them be sad and lonely, in Jesus' name.

4. Father, please give all the elders in the body of Christ the wisdom to, lead and guide the younger generations aright. Let all their counsel come from the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name.

5. Father, please help the elders to influence the younger generations with the gospel. Let their words, prayers, and actions carry fire so that souls will be won to Your kingdom, in Jesus' name.

6. Father, please give the elders the grace to teach the younger generations the good wisdom that they have learnt from their experiences and from You. Let none of their wisdom be lost after You call them to glory, in Jesus' name.

7. Father, please forgive the past mistakes of the elders, in Jesus' name. Have mercy on them and the generations after them.

8. Father, please give the elders who are not yet born again an encounter that will reveal Your perfect love and salvation. Help them to give their lives completely to You, in Jesus' name.

9. Father, please preserve the lives of the elders; let them enjoy the fruits of their good deeds in peace and joy until You call them home, in Jesus' name.

10. Lord, please preserve the good legacy of the elders. Help them to raise younger people who will continue with their good works when they are gone.

11. Father, please give me the resources to take care of the elders around me. Help me to be a blessing to them, in Jesus' name.

12. Your personal prayer points for the elders around you, in your local assembly, and across the world.

Hymn:
Sweet Hour Of Prayer!

:

King James Version

1 Timothy 5:17-19

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. [18] For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward. [19] Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
RCCG Hymn

Sweet hour of prayer!

  1. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
    That calls me from a world of care.
    And bids me at my Father's throne
    Make all my want and wishes known;
    In seasons of distress and grief,
    My soul has often found relief.
    And oft escaped the tempter's snare
    By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
  2. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
    Thy wings shall my petition bear
    To Him whose truth and faithfulness
    Engage the waiting soul to bless;
    And since He bids me seek His face.
    Believe His word and trust His grace,
    I'll cast on Him my every care.
    And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
  3. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
    May I thy consolation share
    Till, from Mount Pisgah's lofty height,
    I view my home, and take my night:
    This robe of flesh I'll drop, and rise
    To seize the ever lasting prize;
    And shout while passing through the air,
    Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of prayer.
