Traditional/ Typical Prayer Meeting:
1) Worship - sing a few songs with just a guitar/ keyboard
2) Sharing - Whoever wants to share or feels led to share
3) Break into small groups to pray
4) Gather back for closing prayer
5) 1 song worship
- End -
Went for a CHINESE Prayer Meeting today at Renewal Christian Centre. Stephen finally managed to get me to go after 2 weeks of persuasion.
I HAVE NO REGRETS ATTENDING THE PRAYER MEETING TODAY!
Their prayer meeting:
1) Worship - Full band playing
2) Sharing
3) FULL SERMON PREACHING
4) Pray
5) Song
5) Pray
6) Song
7) Pray
8) Worship
9) Pastor prays - closes the meeting
- End -
Notice the difference? Their prayer meeting is VERY VERY DIFFERENT.
Many of us think that prayer meeting is the least important. But in actual fact, prayer meetings are the most important! The meetings should not be compromised in any way and we should treat each meeting as important as a service. Honestly, which prayer meeting has a full sermon?! This prayer meeting starts "high" and ends "high". This should be the case for every prayer meeting. The meeting shouldn't be left drifting and people should want to go for it every session. That's what's happening in this church.
Guess what. The attendence for this church's prayer meeting counts in HUNDREDS! Today's attendence was 200, people ranging from 10 all the way till 74! (they usually have about 300)How many people attends your church's prayer meetings?
I promise to try to attend this prayer meeting weekly.
Ah Neh
bounced.
