INTRODUCTION
We were surely edified and greatly energised! Always full of rejoicing and
great zeal. However, my mum had joined us from an older pentecostal
church, and she had observed a certain detachment among first-timers
with our prayer routine. It was as though we were in our world, and
anyone who joined in may not flow well with our spirituality.
At the time she raised this concern, I wasn't quite open to such
conversations. You must have heard that I was quite radical at the
beginning of my ministry. However, as I matured, I discovered a need for
deliberate inclusiveness in our meetings.
Some young ministers think the sermon is all that matters, and if the
pastor connects with the church via his sermon, then a new member
3
might catch up on the rest of the rope, but it doesn't quite work that way.
In reality, a new member might walk in at the start of the service; he or
she might hope to be immersed in the worship and the prayers just as
much as the sermon.
While we must mature our members into disciples and ministers, the
cycle must always revolve around soul-winning and new members.
"If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with
tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say
that ye are mad?
But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is
convinced of all, he is judged of all: And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest;
4
and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a
truth." 1 Corinthians 14:23-25
In the text above, notice the unbeliever and the spiritually unlearned are
used in the same breath. Notice also that this category of churchgoers
might perceive spiritual utterance as madness if there is no interpretation,
they might get spooked just looking at us talking wildly in tongues.
“I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by
Jesus Christ; That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all
5
knowledge; Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: So that ye come
behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall also
confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus
Christ.” 1 Corinthians 1:4-8
He thanked God for their display of spiritual gifts! This is the right
approach. We must always encourage the gifts of the Spirit in
demonstration at all times. We must be glad to see them in operation.
Many leaders of local churches have quenched the Spirit by acting overly
intellectual, proposing some philosophical ideals, all as means to reach the
lost. When we reach the lost without spiritual fervency, they soon become
philosophical believers with no fire of the Spirit burning through them.
They soon become bible debaters who scrutinise God's power and gifts
and gravitate towards cessationism and other ungodly theories that
antagonise the public and private display of spiritual gifts!
However, just like I already shared with you, we must also have a holistic
approach while at it. Apostle Paul taught that we must level the ground
between our spiritual utterance privately and publicly. Privately, we can
pray in tongues for a lifetime, we have no one to connect with apart from
God who hears u,. we have no need for interpretation, except perhaps in
special moments when our intelligence suddenly lays hold on the spiritual
utterance we have spoken, thus giving us clarity on matters.
6
influence, especially to demonstrate the gift of prophecy or any other gift
for that matter.
“But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and
comfort.
He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth
edifieth the church.” 1 Corinthians 14:3-4
“I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he
that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the
church may receive edifying.
Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you,
except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or
by doctrine?” 1 Corinthians 14:5-6
“Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the
edifying of the church.
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.”
7
1 Corinthians 14:12-13
Again.
“Else when thou shalt bless with the Spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the
unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou
sayest?” 1 Corinthians 14:16
“For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all: Yet in the church I had
rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others
also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.” 1 Corinthians 14:17-19
Praise God!
Notice how apostle Paul connects the dots here. The church cannot say
'amen' when we are not communicating with our natural tongue. We
cannot get the church to agree over a prayer or an utterance if we choose
to speak over their heads, in unknown tongues, no one can understand us
or say 'amen' to that!
This is where prayer points come in. Prayer points are intellectual
presentation of desires that makes it easy for the church to sync
together on the same matter and achieve supernatural results.
Without prayer points, we will not be able to harmonise ourselves to
one prayer subject and supply the power of God's Spirit in that
direction.
When the early church prayed, they were harmonised in their desires; they
were together on the purpose and intent of their prayers.
8
“And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief
priests and elders had said unto them.
And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said,
Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in
them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage,
and the people imagine vain things?
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord,
and against his Christ.” Acts 4:23-26
Notice that they lifted their voices in one accord! This is the power of
prayer points. Everyone is in sync on the same matter.
“Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church
unto God for him.” Acts 12:5
In this case, the prayer was for Apostle Peter. His name must have been
mentioned in the prayers with his exact situation and the church's desire
for his release! There was an agreement over his life for this prayer to be
made.
We can only agree through prayer points. Without prayer points, we will
never know exactly the contents of our desires, and we will not be able to
channel God's power in that direction.
9
Apostle Paul prayed for his churches, and there were specific prayer
points.
We must know that prayers are expressions of desires, which vary from
time to time. The church didn't always pray for Peter to be delivered from
prison after he was delivered, there was no need for that prayer, it had
already worked, and it was already done!
Let no one deny you of your privilege to pray and make any request to
God, as long as those requests are within the realities of His will as
presented in His word.
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in
due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” 1 Peter 5:6-7
“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye
receive them, and ye shall have them.” St. Mark 11:24
10
At the heart of prayers are desires!
Let no one tell you you cannot pray about finances, a spouse, a job, or
anything else. If it matters to you, pray about it, God cares for us! All of
us!
We saw apostle Paul praying specifically for certain people and, in some
cases, asking the church to pray specifically for him.
“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be
glorified, even as it is with you:
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have
not faith.” 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2
This was a prayer point! Explicit, clear, no ambiguities. He didn't just ask
them to pray in tongues or pray based on guesses, no, they were to pray
specifically! This is how prayer works, it works with specific desires!
“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he
may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when
thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. St. Luke 22:31
11
“For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received
them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that
thou didst send me.
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for
they are thine.” St. John 17:8-9
“Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through
their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that
they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.”
St. John 17:20-21
The Bible is filled with specific accounts of prayers. Isaac prayed for his
wife, Abraham prayed for Abimelech, Hannah prayed for a son, etc. Each
prayer was made within the prevailing situations and desires at those
times.

WHY PRAYER POINTS FOR WORKERS?
This book gives you insight into the prayer points that hold valuable
impacts on a local church's growth, unity and prosperity. These prayer
points are not all there are in the Bible, and surely they won't be all you
will ever need, but they can be a start. Our desires are numerous, and so
13
are our challenges; thus, you should always lead your congregation to
raise prayer points as occasion demands. Nonetheless, these prayer
points will help to guide anyone in your ministry when they lead the
workforce in prayers.
Through these prayer points, I am convinced the Lord will inspire you to
see more necessary prayer points that will harmonise the spiritual graces
of your house and cause great supernatural results.
It doesn't matter now if the fellow leading the worker's prayer is new or
old, you can easily recommend any prayer points for them, and your team
will follow. This saves us from the disorderliness in spiritual exercises.
Suppose we leave workers to raise whatever prayer they feel, in that case,
we might be exposing ourselves to all kinds of prayers that may not even
have effect on the workforce or the ministry.
I am persuaded you will find this resource helpful. Even though it is not
overly wordy, it will bless your local church and impact the prayer system,
especially in the workforce.

30 PRAYER POINTS FOR WORKERS' PRAYERS
ON SUNDAY MORNINGS OR OTHER MEETINGS.
Isaiah 9:7
“Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of
David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with
justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.”
Romans 12:11
“Not slothful in business; fervent in Spirit; serving the Lord.”
Without zeal, we cannot achieve much for the Lord Jesus Christ. Even
when there is money, without zeal, ministry becomes a heavy burden
upon the few zealous ones or even becomes tiring work for the majority
of the workforce.
Only God's zeal brings the performance! Only fervency will do it!
15
A church lacking in zeal is dying. It cannot press on, it cannot break the
limitations, it cannot get the job done, it cannot triumph against the
enemies' forces, it is limited and running out of breath.
Pray! Stir up your zeal!! Burn!! Be consumed with the energy of the Spirit!!
Let the world around you feel the heat of the mission!
16
2. PRAYER AGAINST LUKEWARMNESS
Revelation 3:15-16
“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my
mouth.”
17
3. PRAYER FOR FRUITFULNESS
In Jesus name!
18
4. PRAYER FOR BOLDNESS
Ephesians 6:18-20
“Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto
with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to
make known the mystery of the gospel,
For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought
to speak.”
Acts 4:29-31
“And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all
boldness they may speak thy word,
By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the
name of thy holy child Jesus.
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together;
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with
boldness.”
19
5. PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING
1 Thessalonians 5:18
“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
1 Thessalonians 1:2
“We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers.”
20
6. INCREASED USE OF FAITH
2 Corinthians 10:15-16
“Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but
having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to
our rule abundantly, To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast
in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.”
21
7. PRAYER OF INTERCESSIONS
1 Timothy 2:1-4
“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of
thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may
lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men
to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
22
8. PRAYER FOR SOULS
Romans 10:1
“Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.”
23
9. PRAYER FOR INCREASE
Acts 2:41, 47
“Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were
added unto them about three thousand souls.
Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the
church daily such as should be saved.”
Acts 4:4
“Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was
about five thousand.”
1 Corinthians 3:6
“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”
24
10. PRAYER FOR SERVICE
We serve God the more. We give our lives for the gospel!
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
“For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all,
then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth
live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”
Philippians 2:7-8
“But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was
made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled
himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”
Hebrews 3:5-6
“And Moses verily was faithful in all his house, as a servant, for a testimony of those
things which were to be spoken after; But Christ as a son over his own house; whose
house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the
end.”
25
11. PRAYER OF CONSECRATION
Acts 20:24
“But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I
might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord
Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.”
2 Corinthians 11:24-28
“Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night
and a day I have been in the deep;
In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own
countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in
perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;
In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often,
in cold and nakedness.
Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all
the churches.”
Acts 5:40-42
26
“And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they
commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted
worthy to suffer shame for his name.
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus
Christ.”
27
12. PRAYER FOR FAITHFULNESS
2 Timothy 2:2
“And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit
thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.”
1 Corinthians 4:2
“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
1 Corinthians 4:17
“For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in
the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I
teach every where in every church.”
28
13. PRAYER AGAINST DIVISION AND
CONFUSION
1 Corinthians 14:33
“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.”
1 Corinthians 3:3
“For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions,
are ye not carnal, and walk as men?”
We pray against such spirits that confuse and cause ungodly separations.
29
14. PRAYER FOR THE SPIRIT OF
ONENESS IN OUR MIDST
Ephesians 4:3-6
“Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and
through all, and in you all.”
30
“But now are they many members, yet but one body.
That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same
care one for another.
And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be
honoured, all the members rejoice with it.
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.”
31
15. PRAYER OF WARFARE
Ephesians 6:10-12
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye` may be able to stand against the wiles of the
devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high
places.”
We stand in our authority and declare God's power against all demonic
forces and hordes working against our ministry.
1 Peter 5:8 -9
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh
about, seeking whom he may devour:
Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished
in your brethren that are in the world.”
32
We have testimonies upon testimonies of triumph!
2 Corinthians 2:14
“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and
maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.”
1 John 5:4-5
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that
overcometh the world, even our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of
God?”
33
16. PRAYER FOR PROSPERITY
Zechariah 1:17
“Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet
be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose
Jerusalem.”
We prosper!
Romans 1:9-10
“For God is my witness, whom I serve with my Spirit in the gospel of his Son, that
without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;
Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by
the will of God to come unto you.”
Psalms 1:3
“And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit
in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
34
We declare financial prosperity!
Material prosperity!
Prosperity of properties!
Projects prosper!
Outreaches prosper!
35
17. PRAYER FOR SUPPLY
2 Corinthians 9:8,11
“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all
sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us
thanksgiving to God.”
We receive supply!
Material supply!
Unending supply!
Philippians 4:19-20
“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Now unto God and our Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.”
36
18. PRAYER AGAINST HINDRANCES
1 Thessalonians 2:18
“Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but Satan
hindered us.”
We advance by God!
Romans 15:21-22
“But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have
not heard shall understand.
For which cause also I have been much hindered from coming to you.”
37
“Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and
he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched
forth.
But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and
they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he
arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there
was a calm.
And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying
one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and
water, and they obey him.”
As we launch forth in our endeavours, nothing stops us, no evil stops us,
no calamity stops us!
38
19. PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE
2 Timothy 3:10-11
But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering,
charity, patience, Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium,
at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
2 Timothy 4:17
“Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the
preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was
delivered out of the mouth of the lion.”
The mouth of the lion signifies every agenda and assault that seeks to
destroy us aggressively like a hungry lion. We are delivered from them all.
2 Thessalonians 3:1-3
“Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be
glorified, even as it is with you:
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have
not faith.
39
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.”
2 Timothy 4:18
“And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his
heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.”
40
20. PRAYER AGAINST CONSPIRACIES
Every evil conspiracy within and outside the church will not prosper!
41
Every conspiracy against our ministry, leaders, members, work shall not
prosper!
2 Samuel 15:31
“And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom.
And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into
foolishness.”
42
21. PRAYER FOR REVELATIONAL
KNOWLEDGE
Ephesians 1:15-23
“Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the
saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the
Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of
his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to
the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him
from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all
principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not
only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to
the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.”
We grow in understanding.
43
We are not ignorant of His wisdom!
In Jesus name!
Ephesians 3:17-20
“That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in
love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and
depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye
might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ
Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.”
Philemon 1:4-6
“I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love
and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints;
That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every
good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.”
44
We come to the understanding of God's goodness in us!
45
22. DESIRE FOR SPIRITUAL GIFTS
1 Corinthians 14:1, 13
“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.”
46
We are fervent and full of miraculous manifestations!
Acts 4:33
“And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus:
and great grace was upon them all.”
47
23. WE ABOUND IN THE GRACE OF
GIVING
2 Corinthians 8:1-7
“Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of
Macedonia;
How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty
abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of
themselves;
Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the
fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and
unto us by the will of God.
Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you
the same grace also.
Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in
all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.”
We do more in giving!
We abound in giving.
48
We find giving pleasurable, in the mighty name of Jesus!
Acts 4:34-35
“Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of
lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man
according as he had need.”
As we give, all needs are met among us. All needs are met in our ministry.
The Lord works through us to meet all needs!
