Prayer Meeting
The great scientist, Michael Faraday (1791-1867), reputed to be the father of modern electronics, was lecturing to a large audience in London. After the applause had subsided, the Prince of Wales arose and proposed a motion of appreciation and congratulation to the lecturer. But when they looked around to find him, they found that he had already left the hall immediately after concluding his lecture. Only his closest friends knew where he had gone, and that the hour of the weekly prayer meeting had arrived. He had always maintained that he could not afford to miss the prayer meeting. This was the man believed by many to have had the most massive intellect that ever existed in the world.
What does the prayer meeting mean to you? In Acts 12 There was a prayer meeting on behalf of Peter who was in prison. “Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him” (Acts 12:5). At that prayer meeting there was a young person by the name of Rhoda (Acts 12:13). God allowed it so that she was the one who went to the door when Peter arrived, having just been miraculously delivered. That night she learned the value and power of the prayer meeting.
