When the Devil sees that the Church does nothing about his activities, he finds a Comfort Zone. This means that when the Church is cold, Prayerless and without Fire, the church becomes a breeding place for the activities of the devil.

The first targets of the devil in attacking the Church are leaders. When Devil tampers with the Leader he will have his way easily with the rest and that is why it is very important to pray for church Leaders because they are always the Prime Target of the Devil.

One Major Mandate of the Church is Intercession.

Everytime we talk about the Church, it is about you and I coming together in the place of Prayer.

But a Praying Church begins with the life of prayer with individual believers.

Your Private Prayer Life can greatly affect the Health of the Church. Your private prayer is so important to what God can do with His Church. .

One of the reasons the Church is weak is because most believers have Epileptic Prayer Life.

One thing you can note about Jesus is that he was a Man of Prayer.

According to Exodus 34: 1-4, Moses was also a man that spends time alone with God.

In first Kings 17:1, Elijah introduced himself as a man who stands before God.

Our Christian Life is not complete without Personal Prayer Life with God.

The more you spend time privately with God, the more closer you are to Him.
