I -
Intercede for others.
The
fastest way to grow in Christ is to get on your knees and
plead the
case of another. If you really want to
see God move on your behalf, just start praying and interceding for someone else.
Note: And by the way you can also intercede on behalf of others without their knowing. You can do a plethora of kindnesses without personal aggrandizement. You can be feet on the ground where needed to bring about something that someone else needs.
Jesus
said at the sermon on the mount, “But I say unto you, Love your
enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray
for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:44
I know
this isn’t a popular concept. Jesus
didn’t get many takers, but those who listened to what He had to say and do it,
are blessed.
James
says, “pray one for another”.
If not for the prayers of others for you and me, there would be no hope
of success in our lives. The fastest way
to victory in your life is to pray for victory in someone else’s life."
