ABOUT PRAYER MINISTRY

Prayer is one of the most difficult disciplines of the Christian life, yet perhaps one of the most important. As a church, we place a very strong emphasis on the ministry of prayer. The power of intercessory prayer is a great gift from God. God listens to those He loves and works all things for their good. Andrew Murray, in his classic work With Christ in the School of Prayer, calls the church to exercise this powerful gift.

E.M Bounds rightly said:

​

• Activity is not strength. Work is not zeal. Activity often is the unrecognized symptom of spiritual weakness. Enthusiasm is more active than faith, though enthusiasm cannot remove mountains nor call into action any of the omnipotent forces which faith can command

• Activity is often at the expense of more solid, useful elements, and generally to the total neglect of prayer. To be too busy with God’s work to commune with God, to be busy doing church work without taking time to talk to God about His work, is the highway to backsliding, and many people have walked therein to the hurt of their immortal souls.
