The building of the church isn’t about the building itself. Jesus is the builder and designer of His church, using people as laborers who do the work through prayer. Prayer is a primary tool for building the church, and it should be kept sharp and consistently used. The early church was birthed from a prayer meeting, and the apostles continually gave themselves to prayer. Effective prayer of the righteous has a greater impact than plans, ideas, or programs. Personal commitment to prayer should not be discouraged by others but rather fuel zeal and encourage dedication. Initiate regular prayer meetings in your community, and be a leader in prayer for building God's church.
"Men are God’s method. The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. What the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men who the Holy Spirit can use – men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Spirit does not come on machinery but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men – men of prayer." —E. M. Bounds
Be the laborer in God’s hands and be the tool of prayer He uses to build His church— right where you live, work, fellowship, and be one mighty in prayer.
