Beyond Teaching


 

As a scholar of “teach beyond the classroom”‘.  I am sharing this personal practice with you.  As a Christian educator, I have deployed this for many years and it works. Somebody may be wondering what I  am talking about. It is simple. I am talking about  ' praying for our learners'.

Taking a moment to pray for our learners in our closet is one of the investments we can make in them. By praying for our learners, you don’t need to be loud nor let your right or left hand know. You just need to quietly intercede on their behalf.

Intercession is a voluntary active practice where we pray for the welfare of others instead of ourselves.

According to James  5: 16

The above means that there is great power in fervent prayers and the positive outcome is huge.

It is never a vain thing nor blah blah blah. It works as long as we pray in God's will.

Interceding for our learners will enable us to make positive declarations in their lives. Yes, we have busy schedules, I understand that, but praying for our learners is crucial.

This is because when they fail, we have nothing to gain. When they win, we win together. These learners are wonderfully made. Remember.                                   

Praying for our learners will not cost us anything. Therefore, as a service to humanity, I encourage us all to nurture the attitude of praying for our learners.

Watch out for our next episode. Don't go away

Thank you
