No Christian is greater than his, or her prayer life

The Church has many organizers, but few agonizers;

many who pay, but few who pray;

many resters, but few wrestlers;

many who are enterprising, but few who are interceding.

People who are not praying are playing.

Two prerequisites of dynamic Christian living are vision and passion, and both of these are generated in the prayer closet. The ministry of preaching is open to a few. The ministry of pray is open to every child of God.

Don’t mistake action for unction, commotion for creation, and rattles for revivals.

When we pray, god listens to our heartbeat. Hannah’s lips moved, but her voice was not heard (1 Samuel 1:12-13). When we pray in the spirit, there are groanings, which cannot be uttered (Rom 8:26). Tithes may build a church, but tears will give it life. We have paid, the place taken. When they had prayed, the place was shaken(Acts 4:31)

In the matter of effecting praying, never have so many left so much to so few.

Brothers, let us pray.

Who doesn't want to the the upfront centre stage stuff! The things behind the scenes, the praying, doesn't get any worldly praise at all, and often goes unnoticed... what a challenge for action! Of action in prayer!
