THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILY PRAYER INTERCESSORS

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Psalms 72:15

 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised." 

King Solomon's success was partly due to him being prayed for on a daily basis. Prayer creates room for the manifestation of the miraculous power of God. We need miracles on a daily basis in our families.

    Family prayer intercessors play a vital role in ensuring that every member of the household stands “perfect and fully assured in all the will of God” (Colossians 4:12 AMP). Just as Epaphras labored fervently in prayer for the believers at Colossae, every family needs someone—or everyone—committed to interceding for God’s purpose to be fulfilled in their lives. Intercession shields the family from unseen attacks, strengthens faith, and keeps their hearts aligned with divine purpose.

Apostle Paul frequently requested prayers from the saints, acknowledging the power of collective intercession. He wrote, “You also joining and helping us through your prayers” (2 Corinthians 1:11 AMP), showing that even great spiritual leaders depend on prayer support for fruitfulness and preservation. Through intercession, God opens doors of opportunity—Paul said, “Pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word” (Colossians 4:3 ESV). A praying family experiences divine access, breakthrough, and deliverance.

Furthermore, “pray that the word of the Lord may spread rapidly and be honored... and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil people” (2 Thessalonians 3:1–2 NIV). This reminds us that intercession not only protects but also advances God’s kingdom agenda in our families.

   In addition, 1 Timothy 2:1–2 encourages “supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings... for all men.” When a family stands united in prayer, they build a hedge of divine protection (Ezekiel 22:30) and release God’s favor upon generations. A praying family truly becomes a victorious family, walking in the fullness of God’s will and power.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and intercessors praying for us. 

PRAYER; Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to pray .
