January 2007-Prayer is more important than anything

TRAC School for Intercessors Part 2

Corporate Intercession Listening & Learning Ministry through prayer Worship in songs

 

From 3 – 5 Nov., 2006, 48 intercessors from 11 TRAC churches gathered once again at Stella Maris in Penang for the TRAC School for Intercessors Part 2 (SFI 2). It was all the more gratifying to see several youths at the seminar.

 

We were urged to live a life of total surrender to God (Romans 12:1-2) and be prepared to move into unfamiliar territories with God. The Intercessors were very much encouraged by Ms. Wee Lay Ching’s teachings, the worship sessions, the prayer times and the moving of the Holy Spirit during the weekend.

 
We are likened to the “voice of one calling in the desert: Prepare the way for the Lord;” (Isaiah 40:3a). Therefore, God is hastening us to be serious about prayer as our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the powers and principalities of the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12).
 
The Methodist pioneers were men of prayer. John Sung was also a great man of prayer. He wrote, “In the past, I deemed evangelism the most important work but now I see that prayer is more important than anything. The realm of the Spirit is limitless …. I have seen some evangelistic teams falter and fall away after many years, the reason is they emphasized their work rather than prayer…”
 
At the final session, the TRAC President, Rev Ong Hwai Teik urged us to always get closer to God and walk in obedience to Him, citing King Hezekiah as an example. It had been a very exciting and fulfilling weekend and many of us left, wishing we had more time to spend together.
 
All glory and praise to our loving and faithful God!
