Speaker: Minoru Chen, Since we are working in the Body, we should not serve in an individualistic isolated way, but are supported by & through the Body. We also need to realize that our real service is by prayer. The apostles/disciples had nothing back then to serve with except for prayer. Prayer is the trigger-point that causes all the other outward activities to be effectual. Although we have the Spirit, the Word, and the Body as the main factors of our service, our prayer is the “activator”. In this new year, may we have a renewed consecration to build up our prayer life, to cultivate “upper-room prayer”! To persevere to train our spiritual muscles to increase our capacity for prayer.
