Abioye made this known while speaking as a guest minister at a Solemn Assembly Prayer Conference on Thursday in Abuja.<\/p>\n
The event was jointly organised by the Christian Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (CPFN) and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) block, FCT Chapter.<\/p>\n
In his paper entitled, \u201cPrevailing Through Prayers\u201d, Abioye described persistent prayer as essential for triumphing over oppositions confronting individuals, families, churches, and the nation.<\/p>\n
\u201dPrayer is a platform for prevailing in life. There are travails of life that can only be handled on the altar of prayer.<\/p>\n
\u201dIf you don\u2019t know how to pray, you\u2019ll never know how to prevail,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Drawing from the Scriptures, Abioye cautioned against spiritual lukewarmness, noting that prayerlessness leads to spiritual exhaustion and failure.<\/p>\n
\u201dPhilippians 4:6 says in everything pray. Prayer is not optional, prayer is a must; a prayerless believer is a lifeless believer.<\/p>\n
The cleric stated that a prayerful life protects believers against three major pitfalls: fainting, failing, and falling.<\/p>\n
\u201dWhat breathing is to the human body is what prayer is to spiritual life.<\/p>\n
He urged Church leaders to prioritise genuine divine power over human eloquence, performance, or intellectualism.<\/p>\n
He challenged Church leaders to safeguard their calling against commercialisation, reminding them that spiritual authority was forged in purity and secret fellowship with God.<\/p>\n Also speaking, Pastor Matthew Akande, General Evangelist, CAC Medaiyese Region, Abuja, said prayer was an essential mechanism for spiritual battles.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Akande noted that while both sinners and saints were confronted daily by spiritual battles, Christians must remain steadfast and persistent in prayer until answers manifest.<\/p>\n He encouraged believers to return to the core spiritual foundations of earnest intercession and faith to reclaim their authority.<\/p>\n The\u00a0 event featured prayer sessions for the nation, the church, and families.(NAN)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Bishop David Abioye, Founder of Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, has urged Christians to cultivate a consistent and fervent prayer life to overcome life\u2019s challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[5],"tags":[655,654],"class_list":["post-1044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-religion","tag-bishopdavidabioye","tag-prayer"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG-20260911-WA0019.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1044"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1062,"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1044\/revisions\/1062"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/primerisenews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/IMG-20260911-WA0023-300x200.jpg\")
