Jesus said, "I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" yet we engage a lot of prayers to ensure the growth and establishment of the church, yet we invest very little or no prayers in nation building or governance that has the gate of hell actively at work against its establishment and prosperity.
And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:18
There is a clear demand to pray for the nations. This is because, the church is the abode of God which does not require man's authorization for God and His Spirit to operate there without hindrance, but for God and His Spirit to operate in the world or on earth demands mans authorization via prayer.
Truly I tell you, whatever you forbid and declare to be improper and unlawful on earth must be what is already forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit and declare proper and lawful on earth must be what is already permitted in heaven. Matthew 18:18 AMP
So in my submission, what God so loved is crying for authorization, and that is the world.
The proof of the advancement of the church should be seen in our consistent prayers for the earth, nations, governments and inhabitants of the world. The church whose sole builder is Jesus Christ shall be instrumental to this.
And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Rev 11:15
And the great rescue in this very hard and trying times on earth is what I term Kingdom Advancement Prayers targeting the nations of the earth.
Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession. Psalm 4:8 AMP
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Psalm 122:6
And the great stamp is the seal of Jesus when he taught us to pray. The assignment of the church is to bring about the establishment of the kingdom - authorizing the reign of God and his Christ on the earth.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10
Watch out for part 2
