We commenced our Prayer meeting with the reminder from Jeremiah 33: 2 & 3. "This is what the Lord says, He who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it - the Lord is His name: 'Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'" Then we praised God by singing "Joyful, joyful we adore Thee."
A reminder from the Founder William Booth, "We are a salvation people - this is our specialty - getting people saved and keeping them saved, and then getting somebody else saved..rescue the perishing. They are all around you everywhere, crowds upon crowds, multitudes. Be skillful. Improve yourself. Study your business. Be self sacrificing. Remember the Master. What you lose for His sake, and for the sake of the poor souls for whom He died, you shall find again.Stick to it. Having put your hand to the salvation plough, don't look behind you."
For the hour we prayed. We prayed for our own territory, the the new work in Togo and Solomon islands. We cried out to God to bless our people, to secure young people to to be Salvation Army officers.
We reminded ourselves of the early church. One fantastic result seen in Acts 4: 31 "After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the Word of God daily." Lord so it again.
We dismissed after singing the prayer, "Give us a day of wonders"
