In a recent video on Facebook, Bishop David Abioye has emphasized the power of prayer in fostering unity among ministers, stating that churches that experience crises often lack a strong prayer foundation. The senior pastor of the Living Faith Church and a close associate of Bishop David Oyedepo made this assertion during a recent church gathering, where he spoke passionately about the importance of corporate prayer in ministry.
Abioye, known for his deep spiritual insights, highlighted that ministers who consistently engage in prayer together do not struggle with division or discord. "Ministers who pray together don't have a problem of unity," he declared. "When we pray together, we stay together. Prayer creates a bond that cannot be easily broken."
He further pointed out that many churches experiencing conflicts and leadership struggles often neglect the place of prayer. "Many churches that have crises are prayerless," he stated. "Where there is no prayer, there is strife. But where prayer abounds, unity is inevitable."
The bishop stressed that prayer serves as a binding force that aligns hearts and minds with God's purpose, making it difficult for disagreements to fester into full-blown conflicts. He encouraged church leaders to cultivate a culture of consistent and fervent prayer, emphasizing that no challenge is insurmountable when ministers seek God's presence together.
Drawing from his extensive experience in ministry, Abioye warned against allowing personal interests to override spiritual responsibilities. He noted that many church disputes arise when leaders focus more on administrative and material concerns than on seeking God's guidance through prayer. "If you want to see a church where there is division, check their prayer altar. It is either weak or nonexistent," he added.
Bishop Abioye's remarks have sparked discussions within the Christian community, with many ministers reflecting on the role of prayer in maintaining harmony within their congregations. His words serve as a call to action for church leaders to prioritize spiritual intimacy over organizational structures, ensuring that their ministries remain united in purpose and vision.
