According to Pastor Ikechukwu Chinedum, The church of God is not a building, rather, it is the people that are the church. When we talk about church growth, we are talking about the growth of the individual members of the church. Church growth focuses on spiritual growth, physical growth ( growth in their health) numerical growth, and financial growth. All these forms of growth is a glaring sign that the church of Christ is healthy. There is no short cut, when it comes to the growth of the church. Every church that must grow must be given to intercessory prayers and the word. We are going to be engaging some intercessory prayer for church members. This prayers are focused on the all-round well being of the church members. For any church to be healthy, we must commit to serious intercessory prayers for our church members, the sheep God has placed in our care. As long as we keep praying for the sheep,we can never lose them. Jesus spent a lot of time praying for his dicisples. Also paul prayed for the Ephesian church ( see John 17:1-26, Ephesians 1:16-23).

The power of intercessory prayer can never be over emphasized, when we pray for others,we see the hand of God manifested in there lives. If you desire to see more souls saved and more members lives transformed, you must be given to intense and quality intercessory prayers. A pastor who would not pray for his or her members cannot see the growth he or she desires. The moment we stop praying for our church members, we stand the risk of losing them to the devil, but if we always engage tirelessly in intercessory prayer for them, we will never lose them to the devil. I encourage you today to pray for your church members using this intercessory prayer. Remember, when you pray for your church members, you are also praying for yourself. I see God granting you instant answers to your prayers in Jesus name.
