GET YOUR PEOPLE PRAYING AND KEEP THEM PRAYING
(1SAM. 12:23, LK. 21:36, MT. 6)
Jesus said that men ought to always pray and not faint. Samuel said it would be a sin against God to stop praying for the people. Paul prayed whole heartedly for the Philippians.
Prayer is the lifeblood of the ministry. The church moves forward on its knees. Every successful ministry has had dedicated prayer warriors behind it.
Be creative. Get the people praying. Use prayer letters, prayer rooms, elders meetings, whatever. Get them praying. Then, keep them praying. Prayer is not a means to convince God to give us what we want, it is a means by which we can participate in His will. It is the channel through which He works. Prayer moves the heart of God.
Saturate your ministry in prayer. Lord teach us to pray.
