*UNDERSTANDING THE MINISTRY OF PRAYER*
*BIBLE READING: REVELATION 8:3; 1THESSALONIANS 5:17; PHILIPPIANS 4:6*
*"I exhort therefore that first of all, Supplications, Prayers, Intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men." 1Timothy 2:1(KJV)*
Prayer is one of the Most Powerful Keys in The Kingdom of God. Anyone who wants to matter in God's Kingdom must of necessity understand the Role of Prayer as regards his/her Spiritual Journey. There is no successful Walk with God that is void of a Fortified Prayer Altar. No single Christian believer can survive without Prayer for the Ministry of Prayer is reserved for all the saints of God *(2Chron. 7:14).* There's nothing that moves in the Kingdom that is not powered by Prayer. The Journey into the Spirit Realm begins with Prayer and in order to influence the Spiritual Realm, you must be a person of Prayer.
The following are a few Notable Basics in the Ministry of Prayer, which highlights the importance of having a Formidable Prayer Closet:
*(1.) Prayer precipitates Revival:* Before any Revival can take place, Prayers must go forth. Anytime you see Revival in any nation, it means that Intercession has gone up and Intercessors have done their job very well *(Joel 2:1-32).* All Revivals are birthed in the Place of Prayer *(Isa. 62:1).*
*(2.) Prayer is a Propeller:* The speed or dimension to which any Minister can reach is directly proportional to the Propelling Force of his Prayer Altar. The energy it exerts determines the result you get *(Isa. 40:3-10).*
*(3.) Prayer opens Portals:* The Will of God can only be executed if the Portals in question are opened. The Kingdom of God is highly organized. Hence, God's Agenda or Plans are sealed, and it's only the Heavenly Watchers that can crack into that Realm *(Dan. 4:17).*
*(4.) Prayer averts destruction:* God doesn't destroy people without a watchman whose job is to stand in the gap. However, if the said watchman doesn't know how to intercede, destruction becomes inevitable. This is why every generation must raise for themselves Faithful Intercessors *(Ezek. 22:30).*
*PRAYER:*
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your Love towards us. We pray that the eyes of our Understanding be enlightened to fully comprehend this Mystery in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.
