Dear brothers and sisters who are obedient to the Great Commission! I wish to build you up and encourage you in the upcoming prayer ministry.
It is wrong to think that the time to pray is when we reach a point when we cannot do anything. No, without prayer, everything that we attempt to do is a failure already. We all expect “streams of abundance” in reaping the fruit of our labors. We also desire that the Lord will abundantly bless the upcoming missionary congress. The blessings will come only as a response to our intense and fervent prayers. In his days, Prophet Elijah desired a revival of his people as well as the coming of the rain from heaven. As we read, the heavens opened up only after he fervently prayed about it.
One of the wise men of God said the following: “If God wants to do something great, first, he will move His people to pray”. Blessed are those who hear this wisdom from God and desire to become the intercessors. They will witness the great acts of God.
