A winning army saves their wounded. In this month of miracles, we shall pray for one another.

If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death.
There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death (1 John 5:16-17 KJV

We are not ignorant of the device of the enemy. In fact, until we are bold enough to hold up our brethren in the faith, we are setting ourselves up for defeat. A winning army is one that helps their wounded up.
As a matter of fact, those who think about others are investing into their own mercy.
I can tell you from personal experience that the most dangerous moment in your life is not when you meet the devil or a lion. The most dangerous moment is when you see a brother or sister sinning. In such times whatever you do is a seed you have sown into your own life.
Today’s devotional is an exhortation on what you can do when you see a brother sinning. The Bible says you should pray for him. Ask for him; it is the only key that can face the situation. As a church, we must have the culture of asking for our brethren that are caught in the foolishness of sinning.
Sin is a choice just as mercy is also a choice. Prayer and intense intercession is the key to saving our brethren from sin. The text is clear; we would save more people from sin if we learn the secret of asking for mercy for them.
In fact, the Bible says if you see your brother sin; ask for him; how much more if you see your pastor or your father sinning.
Many of us are rather moved by demons to take to social media and radio stations to wash out our own brethren as dirty linens in public. I speak now, that we shall become a generation of praying men to ask for those we see sinning.
Note however the phrase “if you see…” not if you hear or suspect or discern; if you see. The Word of God is not mincing words. God is not endorsing gossip in the Body of Christ. If you see…
Have you seen your brother sinning? Have you seen it, then pray for him. We want to spend this weekend praying for people we have seen sinning. We want to pray earnestly for them. We want to ask for their deliverance.
Pray for those you have seen sinning; stop the useless gossiping and start praying for them because no child of God in his or her own right senses will continue in sin. Lift up a banner prayer for our brethren in captivity.
It is not our business to judge another man’s servant. So all we can do is to ask for them before their master. Plead with their Lord to keep them standing.
Prayer
Almighty God have mercy on us! Please forgive and deliver us from the destructive power of sin! Redeem us with Your mighty hand! As we become our brother’s keepers, Amen!
I love you! Be blessed!

Thank you for the insight. I receive mercy and grace to be my brother’s keeper.
Comment…Hmmm….powerful message…I now know that if I see a brother sinning and I look on just to gossip about him later I am helping the devil to defeat us….I shall be my brother’s keeper from now on………God bless you pastor
“As a matter of fact, those who think about others are investing into their own mercy” as powerful as always. Bless you sir.
Thanks pastor. I will pray for those I see sinning and would also pray for grace for myself not to fall into the same temptation.
It is time to reach out and pray for our wounded, for God to heal and save us. I refuse to criticize or entertain gossip about others but choose rather to intercede.
“If you see your brother standing by the road
With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed
If you see your sister falling by the way just stop and say you’re going the wrong way
You’ve got to try a little kindness just show a little kindness
Shine your light for everyone to see
And if you try a little kindness you’ll overlook the blindness
Of the narrow minded people on the narrow minded streets
Don’t walk around the down and out lend a helping hand instead of doubt
And the kindness that you show every day will help someone along their way
You’ve got to try a little kindness…
You’ve got to try a little kindness.”
I will pray for my brother or sister from now on….thank you papa for this powerful word.Amen
Amen I shall stand in the gap when I see a believer sinning Amen
It is time to intercede for those i have seen sining rather than gossiping.Thank you bishop for understanding
Sin is a choice just as mercy is also a choice. To me today’s devotional is a revelation. I shall be committed to interceding for my brethren as I see them sin but not to gossip about them. I shall also pray fervently for myself to overcome sin. I’m blessed. God richly bless you Bishop.
Father help me to be my brother’s keeper in Jesus name ……….Amen! Bless you Reverend.
I will not condemn my brethren in sin but rather lift up the banner of prayer for them. Have mercy on us Lord and deliver us from the power of sin. Amen
Thankyou Bishop for the message i will not gossip about anyone i see sinning but rather pray for the person because I don’t know what the person is going through and the do not enjoy sinning so help me God to stand by them and support them with prayers
Comment…amen, Lord Jesus may u help me to pray for my brethren in Jesus name Amen
Thank you Pastor for these words. I’m empowered. God grant me the grace to intensely intercede and pray for my brethren always.
Amen
Lord please i want to be part of the generation that prays for their brethren’s who are in sin and forgive me my sins in Jesus name.
Amen
Glory to God that my sins are forgiven.
Wow…..never again will I judge my brother in sin, but rather, I’ll show kind essays intercede on their behalf. Amen
