God appoints pastors and elders in local church to build up the saints for the work of ministry. If you have godly men who lead and the Word of God that is being faithfully and accurately proclaimed, then take a moment to thank God for those men and ask God to unleash more and more grace upon them. Serve in such a way in your church that is a blessing for those leaders to experience your example. Serving as a leader in the local church is not an easy task, and those men and their families are constantly under spiritual attack. Therefore, your prayers are a necessary grace that helps them to accomplish the ministry for which God has called them.

The more you pray, the greater fruitfulness you will see in your church and the more faithful you will see those men.
