A CALL TO PRAY:
“Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know”
“. . . You are my battle axe and weapons of War . . . “
(Jeremiah 33:3; Jeremiah 51:20; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5; 1Timothy 1:18b) NKJV.
INTRODUCTION: You can be a vessel of prayer, in joining God’s People of prayers for intensive and extensive periods of prayers; that is, standing shoulder to shoulder, for an effectual and effective, intercessory prayer; and a fervent, dynamic, and prevailing prayers. This is for a mighty and unprecedented out-pouring of God’s power and Spirit upon the up-coming BIRC – “Believers’ International REDEMPTION Convention” with all that is engaged, associated and affiliated with GLOBAL & MISSION AFRICA. For God said to His servant – Revd Chukie E.F. MORSI – at the foundation of BIRC in the 1990’s, that prayer works and will work, and He will move in His Spirit and in great power of His WORD as His people travail in prayers and intercession – ‘For prayer which cost nothing gets nothing’. Prayer is the tool to advance the Kingdom of God and to keep the enemy at bay and for the outpour of God’s gracious blessing upon His People – The Churches of Christ.
”Intercession and prayers is the spiritual works out of which new life of God comes. That which comes forth of God is always breathed; it is always born… it is not created by man’s ability or influence. It is born of the Spirit, and it is breathed out of the womb of intercession… with groanings in human vocabulary” – Raph Mahoney.
“We should pray when we are in a praying mood, for it would be sinful to neglect so fair an opportunity” “We should pray when we are not in a praying mood, for it would be dangerous to remain in so unhealthy condition” – Charles Spurgeon.
”It is a prayer shot through with the very blood and passion of the Son of God, filled with the power and persistence of the Holy Ghost, loaded with burdening sense of the Churches’ plight, and the world’s appalling need, that sets the wheel of revival in motion” – J. Baxter.
”For there is a promise of strength to them that turn the battle to the gate” – Isaiah 28:6.
”There is a promise of strength to them that wait upon the Lord” – Isaiah 40:31.
