Prayer activates angelic activities.

“And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense. And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense.”           Luke 1:10-11(KJV)

This was a time of corporate prayer in our opening scripture, and the Bible records that as they prayed, an angel of the Lord appeared to Zachariah. This angel came to attend to the need in his life because the Bible tells us in Luke 1:13 that the angel said to Zachariah, “… Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.” Therefore it is important you know that whenever you are in a service or in a corporate assembly of believers praying, there are angels that are right there attending to the needs in your life.

So as you go for service today, do not be like those who do not pray when others are praying, and instead of praying they are busy looking around and waiting for the time of prayer to come to an end, you ought to take the time of prayer seriously. Those whose attention are not in the service and those not praying and participating in the service, cannot receive the blessings they would have received from the Lord at that time for being in that service. 

Therefore, take the time of prayer seriously today. This is because as you spend time praying with other believers corporately, remember that angels are active at that time and they are right there ready to minister to the needs in your life just like it happened to Zachariah in our opening scripture. So as you pray today, expect a divine visitation, manifestations of God’s Spirit and an outflow of blessings towards you. God bless you.

Prayer
Dear Father, my heart is open to receive all the blessings you have for me today and my Spirit earnestly longs after you, to see your power and your glory as I worship, pray and render my service to you today in the sanctuary in Jesus Name. Amen.
