Why Churches Need Their Prayer Meetings!

Charles Spurgeon had total confidence in the validity and value of the prayer meeting.

Attributing to it the increase of his congregation from a mere handful to in excess of 6000 persons, he stated: “The prayer meeting is an institution which ought to be very precious to us, and to be cherished very much by us as a Church, for to it we owe everything. When our comparatively little chapel was all but empty, was it not a well-known fact that the prayer meeting was always full? And when the Church increased, and the place was scarce large enough, it was the prayer meeting that did it all.”

In evangelical churches it has been common to hold meetings for the children of God to engage in united prayer.

Although this practice is in rapid, if not terminal, decline ... .

An increasing number of churches have suspended their prayer meetings and replaced them with business and other meetings!

This message is a plea to maintain the prayer meeting!
