Add to this list from the records of the church your personal observation and experience, and always there is the cost of passion unto blood. Such prayer prevails. It turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God.” – Samuel Chadwick “In an effort to get the work of the Lord done we often lose contact with the Lord of the work and quite literally wear our people out as well.”– A.W Tozer, That Incredible Christian “Of all things, guard against neglecting God in the secret place of prayer.” – William Wilberforce “Closet communion needs time for the revelation of God’s presence. It is vain to say, ‘I have too much work to do to find time.’ You must find time or forfeit blessing. God knows how to save for you the time you sacredly keep for communion with Him.”– A. T. Pierson “Start with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning. ”- King Solomon “The sovereign God wants to be loved for Himself and honored for Himself, but that is only part of what He wants. The other part is that He wants us to know that when we have Him we have everything – we have all the rest.” – A.W Tozer “God wants worshipers before workers; indeed, the only acceptable workers are those who have learned the lost art of worship” – A.W Tozer, That Incredible Christian “The secret of praying is praying in secret.” – Leonard Ravenhill Our ordinary views of prayer are not found in the New Testament. We look upon prayer as a means for getting something for ourselves; the Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself. – Oswald Chambers “Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.” – Corrie ten Boom “Prayer is the acid test of devotion.” – Samuel Chadwick “What the church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use— men of prayer, men mighty in prayer” – E.M. Bounds “Time spent in prayer will yield more than that given to work. Prayer alone gives work its worth and its success. Prayer opens the way for God Himself to do His work in us and through us. Let our chief work as God’s messengers be intercession; in it we secure the presence and power of God to go with us.”– Andrew Murray “Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.” – E. M. Bounds “Prayer is weakness leaning on omnipotence.” – W. S. Bowd “Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!” – Andrew Murray “As we race towards the end, we are going to experience more disruptions to getting together in fellowship. Persecution of TRUE Christians will be intensified like never before – This is a guarantee and we can take this word to the bank. We must be ready! Readiness starts and ends with cultivating and sustaining our one – on – one, intimate relationship with Him in the secret place.” Monday Ogwuojo Ogbe – Otakada.org Key Verses: Mark 1:35 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) 35 And in the morning, long before daylight, He got up and went out to a [a]deserted place, and there He prayed. Matthew 6:6 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) 6 But when you pray, go into your [most] private room, and, closing the door, pray to your Father, Who is in secret; and your Father, Who sees in secret, will reward you in the open. Psalm 91:1-11 Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC) 1 He who [a]dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty [Whose power no foe can withstand]. 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I [confidently] trust! 3 For [then] He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 [Then] He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow (the evil plots and slanders of the wicked) that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. 8 Only a spectator shall you be [yourself inaccessible in the secret place of the Most High] as you witness the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, 10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any
