The Church Doesn’t Need More Power (Jesus Shows Us REAL Leadership)

The church today is facing division, weariness, and confusion about what true leadership looks like. Many believe leadership is about vision, strategy, or influence—but Jesus shows us something far greater. Leadership in His Kingdom is about HUMILITY, SERVICE, and complete SURRENDER to God’s will.
This powerful prayer calls on God to strengthen church leaders, restore unity in the body of Christ, and ignite fresh fire in His people. It is a reminder that the church belongs to Jesus alone, and when we walk in His will, the gates of hell cannot prevail.
In this prayer, you’ll be led into deep worship, biblical reflection, and a stirring call to live out God’s purpose in your daily life. Whether you are a pastor, a servant leader, or simply someone wanting to follow Jesus more faithfully, this prayer will refresh your spirit and remind you that CHRIST is the true Head of the church.
Pray along and believe that God will:
• Strengthen weary leaders with wisdom and courage
• Restore unity where there has been division
• Protect pastors, elders, and churches from the snares of the enemy
• Empower every believer to lead with love and integrity in their homes, workplaces, and communities
• Pour out His Spirit to guide us into fulfilling JESUS’ will above all things
This is not about man’s kingdom – it’s about God’s Kingdom. The church is HIS, and when we return to Him, He restores, heals, and empowers us to shine as His light in the world.
If you have never given your life to Christ, this prayer also includes a heartfelt invitation to surrender your life to Him today. God’s arms are open, and His love is waiting for you.
