He was touched by the growth challenges of the church and promised to join a regular prayer meeting till the yoke of stagnation was broken and the church occupies its rightful place among the big ones. On the first day he joined the intercession the venue shook with exciting prospects. The following week he did not show up. Those who eagerly anticipated that he will keep his promise thought it may have been the exception. They would later learn that his son took ill after his first coming. He never showed up in the church again.

?For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.? ? Ephesians 6: 12-13 (KJV)

You are in the midst of foes,
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
