“Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.”
— Psalms 2:8
Why Prayer is the Foundation of Light City Mission
At Light City Mission—The Light Chapel International, Heywood, Manchester, UK—prayer is not just an activity; it is the lifeline of our faith and ministry. From inception, the vision and direction of this mission have been birthed, sustained, and expanded through prayer.
When I received the call to establish Light City Mission, it was through a deep communion with God that the mandate was revealed:
- Back to Calvary – Restoring the focus on Christ’s sacrifice.
- Back to the Blood – Reclaiming the power of redemption.
- Back to Liberty – Deliverance and freedom from the bondage of sin and oppression.
- Back to Revival – Awakening hearts through prayer, the Holy Spirit, and the ministry of the word.
We understand from scriptures that without prayer, and preaching Christ being crucified, we lack the power to transform lives and nations. Every major move of God in the Bible and in history was preceded by prayer.
At Light City Mission, we believe that prayer:
✅ Strengthens our connection with God
✅ Opens doors for divine revelation and direction
✅ Breaks spiritual strongholds and releases breakthroughs
✅ Transforms individuals, families, and entire nations
We have seen firsthand that prayer is not just a religious duty; it is a supernatural force that shifts realities.
Testimony of Answered Prayers
Since inception, we have harvested numerous testimonies of answered prayers, from the church facility in Heywood to the establishment of the mission station in Nigeria by the favour of God, every step has been directed and sustained by consistent, strategic, and faith-filled prayers generating testimonies in the lives of the church members and the mission affiliate.
A Guide to Building a Consistent Prayer Life
You may wonder, how can I develop a strong and consistent prayer life? Here are five foundational steps:
- Set a Fixed Time for Prayer
Just as you schedule meetings or daily routines, schedule your time with God. Morning, mid-day, or night—choose a time and be consistent. - Start with Thanksgiving
Before making requests, begin by acknowledging God’s goodness. Gratitude opens the heavens. - Pray with Scripture
Use the Word of God as the foundation of your prayers. Acts 26:18-19 reminds us of our mission, and Jeremiah 33:3 assures us that God answers when we call on Him. - Include Worship and Listening
Prayer is not just talking to God; it is also listening. Spend time in silence, meditation, and worship to hear His voice. - Join a Prayer Community
Being a part of a prayer group or church community strengthens your prayer life. At Light Chapel Int’l, we encourage corporate prayers through our prayer meetings, intercessory sessions, and encounter services.
