Our Committment & Responsibility

Our commitment to pray and seek the face of God in the lives of our children, family, church, nations and all is part of our abiding relationship with our God. We are aware of our spiritual responsibilities that men always ought to pray and not faint and to pray without ceasing. Our commitment and responsibility is to live and maintain a holy life that will be pleasing to God. We recognized that maintaining our commitment and responsibility to God’s will and our church and our community will cause us to be used as a vessel for His grace and glory. We recognized the importance of fasting together with prayer and we will employ the tools of fasting and praying in order to accomplish God’s will and purposes in our lives [ Matthew 17: 14- 21]

Our commitment to this ministry will be the “Elisha commitment” [2 kings 2: 2, 4 & 6]. We will liaise and be abreast with other ministries in our church, in order to be current, effective and know the prayer needs of others ministries. We will have a prayer network and prayer needs pool where all prayer requests from members will be collected and interceded on.

We will maintain monthly prayer vigil and revival where we will humble ourselves, pray and seek the face of God and ask all to turn from wicked ways[ 2 chronicles 7: 14] so that our God will revive, restore, favor and heal our church, families and community.
