  5. Prayer “No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying; the pulpit can be a shop-window to display one’s talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off…”

  6. “ Poverty-stricken as the Church is today in many things, she is most stricken here, in the place of prayer. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.”- Leonard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries

  7. Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. – 1 Thessalonians 5:16~18 • Love your enemies and pray for them – Matthew 5:44 • Phil 4:6~7 Heb 4:16John 15:7

  8. Could it be that the present poor state of our church is due to years of neglect on our individual and corporate prayer life? • Satan will prevent us at all cost to pray.

  9. Exhort and Encourage • Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8

  10. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:9 • Refuse negative talk.

  11. Anger – Get rid of it • "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,and do not give the devil a foothold.   Ephesians 4:26-27

  12. Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:29,31,32 • Forgiveness breaks the power of anger. • Close the account quickly.

  17. Chorus: Say it loud, say it clear You can listen as well as you hear It’s too late when we die To admit we don’t see eye to eye
