10 REASONS

WHY WE NEED
TO PRAY
1. Prayer is a
great
act of faith
Luke 17:1-8
-shall be find faith
on the earth?
 Prayer
is an expression
of faith
Do you want to
be a great man
of faith?
 To be great
man of faith,
“Be a MAN of
PRAYER”
Hebrews 11:6
-without faith it's
impossible to please
God...
2. Prayer makes
you into man of
authority.
 Matthew 7:28-29
When Jesus had finished saying these
things, the crowds were amazed at his
teaching, because he taught as one
who had authority, and not as their
teachers of the law.
 Matthew 7:28-29
Authority can be explained as the
"non-easily-defined, invisible,
magnetic aura that surrounds a
man of God.
The more you pray, the
more you closer to
God, the more
authority you have!
 How Jesus
became a Man
of Authority?
 Luke 4:14
Jesus returned to Galilee in the
power of the Spirit, and news
about him spread through the
whole countryside.
Power (grk. Dunamis) means:
-Miraculous power
-Mighty wonderful
-Ability work
-Abundance -Enabling power
-Strength
 Luke 4:22 NIV
All spoke well of him and were
amazed at the gracious words
that came from his lips. “Isn’t this
Joseph’s son?” they asked. People
will amazed!
 Luke 4:31-32 NIV
Then he went down to Capernaum, a
town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath he
taught the people. They were
amazed at his teaching, because
his words had authority.
where do you think this authority and
suçcess came from?
Where did all thia crowds come
from? Why people suddenly
listening to Jesus.. This is what I
call the "non-easily-defined,
invisible, magnetic aura that
surrounds a man of prayer.
3. Prayer makes
you a man of
anointing.
When you are close to
someone, something
rubs off on you.
The more you talk to
someone, the closer
you become to the
person.
 Only prayer
bring closer to
God!
Then Moses entered the cloud
as he went on up the
mountain. And he stayed on
the mountain forty days and
forty nights.
Exodus 24:18 NIV
 The old way, with laws etched in stone,
led to death, though it began with such
glory that the people of Israel could not
bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face
shone with the glory of God, even though
the brightness was already fading away.
2 Corinthians 3:7 NLT
 4. Prayer binds
demonic activities
in your ministry.
 a. you must bind
demon's activity that
causes divisions and
loyalty.
 b. His influence that
causes backsliding,
immorality and sin in
your cell members.
c. Demons that causes
poverty, depression
and oppression in your
member.
d. Bind the spirits that
raise accusations and
slander against the
church.
If you do not bind
the devil he will
bind you
 5. Prayer creates and
gives birth to new
dimensions in ministry
or cell.
 "A man of prayer is
man who creates new
spiritual dimensions."
My dear children, for whom
I am again in the pains of
childbirth until Christ is
formed in you,
Galatians 4:19 NIV
When establishing
a church or cell..
Suggestions:
1. Pray

3. Pray
 6. Prayer is the first
apostolic command to
every minister..
 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions,
prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be
made for all people— for kings and all
those in authority, that we may live
peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness
and holiness. This is good, and pleases
God our Savior,
1 Timothy 2:1-3 NIV
"FIRST OF
ALL"
 PRAY FIRST
BEFORE YOU START
ANYTHING
7. Pray because the Apostle
refused to give up prayer
when they were under
pressure from
administrative duties.
 So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together
and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the
ministry of the word of God in order to wait on
tables. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from
among you who are known to be full of the Spirit
and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to
them and
will give our attention to
prayer and the ministry of the word.”
Acts 6:2-4 NIV
I know your deeds; you have a
reputation of being alive, but
you are dead.
Revelation 3:1 NIV
PRAYER MAKES
YOUR SPIRITUAL
LIFE ALIVE
 8. Prayer was the
greater part of Christ's
ministry..
 JESUS RATIO:
3 years in ministry,
2000 yrs in prayer..
 Therefore he is able to save
completely those who come to
God through him, because he
always lives to
intercede for them.
Hebrews 7:25 NIV
Pray like Jesus prayed!
“GREATNESS
IN MINISTRY DEPENDS
ON INTERCESSORY
ABILITIES”
 Do you want to be
numbered among the
great and strong in
God's army?
PAG-AMPO!
9. Prayer releases
captives.
....to preach deliverance to
the captives -Luke 4:18

..... pulling down of

stronghold. -2 Cor. 10:4
We must pray to weakened
the grip and hold of satanic
power on the soul of men.
 Our greatest weapon is
prayer! Nothings happen
when there is no prayer!
But a lot happens when
people pray!
 (for the weapons of our
warfare are not of the flesh,
but mighty before God to the
casting down of strongholds);
2 Corinthians 10:4 ASV
 We are weaponless in the
natural realm, but spiritual
realm we have Mighty weapon
through God!
10. Prayer avails
much.
 Therefore confess your sins to
each other and pray for each
other so that you may be healed.
