We Are The People

2 Kings 12:9

“Then Jehoiada the priest took a chest, bored a hole in its lid, and set it beside the altar, on the right side as one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who kept the door put there all the money brought into the house of the Lord.”

Good evening and welcome to the Sunday Night Edition of “We are the People” Prayer for America.  Every Sunday we bring together the hearts of intercessors that choose to invest a minimum of 15 minutes in prayers of agreement between the hours of 6:00p.m. and 9:00p.m. using the three focus points listed below as a guide.  May God bless you for your concern for America’s future expressed in prayer tonight.  We encourage you to join us in prayer daily and invite others to join us.

It is interesting to note the details in the box. There was a hole in the top to receive offerings, it was set beside the altar on the right side. There the priests handled the money.

Prayer Focus #1 – The way to place the money was simply understood. Pray that there will be further changes to our tax system that makes paying taxes simple.

Prayer Focus #2 – The “Joash” box was set near the altar reminding worshippers and priests of the sacred trust that must be maintained between taxes paid and how it is spent. It is always a matter of how much one spends, not so much how much is earned.

Prayer Focus #3 – The box was placed on the right side, not the left – enough said – Pray for responsible spreading in government budgets and appropriations.
