Church of God Prayer Ministries provides a bulletin insert along with a power point prayer guide that can be adapted at: www.praycog.org/million-hour-prayer-campaign. Be ready for this Sunday July 5 to mobilize your church to pray for the unreached peoples of the world.
Coordinator of Church of God Prayer Ministries Douglas Small, says, “In II Chronicles 30:27, the Bible says that ‘the priests and the Levites arose and bless¬ed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.’ What a powerful pic¬ture – that of our prayers invading heaven. God never looks from his throne, and asked, ‘Where is the smoke coming from?’ – but it is unique notion that our prayers smoke up heaven! Good smoke. Holy smoke. Sweet smoke. Non-toxic, life-breathing smoke. In Revelation, we have a similar scene, ‘And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, as¬cended up before God out of the angel’s hand’ (Rev. 8:4).”
“Do you ever wonder if heaven’s altar ‘smokes’ with your prayers? Small continued. “What if you could join oth¬ers in such a massive prayer effort, your prayers combined with theirs, so that the throne-room of heaven became thick with smoke? That the incense containers held by the twenty-four el¬ders needed to be emptied – they were full of incense!”
This is the idea of Million Hour Prayer Campaign. A million hours of prayer – for one cause, one purpose, the unreached, those who have never heard. A prayer campaign that tells heaven, “We are serious about finishing the task given us 2,000 years ago. We will no longer make the death of your son, Jesus, a sweet song we sing about, while more than a billion live and die without hearing his name. We intend, by your grace God, to FINISH the great commission.”
