Consecration - 14 Days of Prayer & Fasting

DAY 16 OF 18

For our Senior Pastors & Team | Ps Alex Peters

As we approach conference, it is crucial to cover our Senior Pastors, Pastors Brad and Alison, and our entire Horizon team in prayer. Scripture highlights the significance of praying for our leaders, emphasising the profound impact it can have on their ministry and the church as a whole. Our pastors are on the front lines of spiritual warfare, often bearing the weight of the congregation's burdens while also seeking God's vision and guidance for the church.

In Ephesians 6:19, the Apostle Paul urges believers to, “Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel.” Paul, a seasoned leader, recognized his dependence on the prayers of the saints. He understood that their intercession was crucial for his boldness, clarity, and effectiveness in proclaiming the gospel.

Similarly, our Senior Pastors and HZ staff face immense spiritual, emotional, and physical demands, especially in the lead-up to a significant event like our conference. Our prayers can provide them with divine strength, wisdom, and protection as they prepare to lead us into a season of revival.

James 5:16 reminds us that “the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” When we pray for our leaders, we are not engaging in a mere formality; we are participating in a spiritual act that can bring about real change. Our heartfelt prayers can shield them from the enemy’s attacks, encourage them during times of discouragement, and empower them with the Holy Spirit’s guidance.

Furthermore, Hebrews 13:17 advises us to “have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.” By lifting our team in prayer, we lighten their load and enhance their joy in serving. This, in turn, benefits the entire congregation, as our leaders are able to minister more effectively and joyfully.

As we unite in prayer for our Senior Pastors and our staff, we align ourselves with God's heart and purpose, paving the way for a transformative and impactful HZ Revival Conference.

Prayer Focus:

  • Spend time in worship, focusing your attention on Jesus.
  • Pray for Pastors Brad and Alison as they carry the vision and leadership of conference. That God would lead, direct and empower them. Pray for God’s spiritual protection over them, including Tori and Wade.
  • Pray for all our teams that are carrying conference. Pray for health and wholeness, for protection for our families and that we would be led by the Spirit to usher in revival.
