Some people, including pastors, Salvation Army officers, church workers can talk for hours on the subject of prayer, but when it comes to attending prayer meeting, they are conspicuous by their absence. May the Lord touch our hearts and make us walk the talk. Good to talk about prayer, but more important to pray and join others in corporate prayer.
We had our usual prayer meeting at THQ this morning led by Lieut. Colonel Bob Lee in the absence of Major Pascoe who is at Port Dickson for a short holiday. There were just thirteen of us, officers and lay people who attended this morning's prayer meeting. We prayed according to the list of subjects given.
We gave thanks to God for the success of the Combined Corps Camp. My wife and I had wanted to attend this camp, but we were committed to conduct Father's Day meeting at Balestier so had to give it a miss. This morning we praised God for the moving of the Spirit through the sessions at the camp. We were told the campers were challenged, inspired and ignited to see and fulfill God's mission and purpose both personally and corporately. We will continue to pray for the continual stirring of the Holy Spirit in follow up action back home and in the churches.
We pray for a revival - the outpouring of God's Spirit on the Army.
As Christians we are part of the 'priesthood of believers.' We cannot escape the responsibility of regular priestly intercession for our people. This includes of course the difficult awkward people as well as those we find it much easier to get along with. Our prayers must be all embracing.
