Mat 18:19-20 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it Will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
There’s an old saying that if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together. As it is the culture ,individual model prayers have been adopted by many .But sad to say,not many have put into test the power portrayed by prayers of agreement by two or more. Jesus emphasized on this model and encouraged his disciples to practise the same .
He taught them that when two or three gather for His course ,He becomes part of the fellowship and a member of the treaty agreed upon . Inviting Jesus in the deal, any Prayer of agreement becomes so powerful that heaven accepts any form of binding or loosening done .Worth noting that, prayers of agreement only works when Jesus is in the agreement.
Corporate prayers offers believers accessibility to heavenly stores where they can withdraw and offload rewards,promises ,freedom,healing and all good things that pertains salvation .Apostle peter was one of the beneficiary of such prayers,” So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. “Quick, get up!” he said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists(Acts 12:5, 7)
Some of prayer responses we long for cannot be easily released under normal individual warfare approach .The prayer of unity poses a threat to the enemy. That’s why he works to scatter brethren to ease his attack on them. If ‘walking’ alone fails ,try doing so with other believers.
