For all in Authority
The apostle Paul writes,
“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.” 1Timothy 2:1-4.
Look very carefully at this portion of scripture. Paul urges all Christians. All believers in Christ Jesus to pray “for kings and all those in authority”
The reason he gives for this is, “that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”
The easiest way for Christians to win souls for Christ is in a time of peace. Those in the persecuted church have a much harder time winning souls for Christ than those living in freedom and peace.
That is why I believe Paul tells us to pray for those in authority.
Please think about it.
