A church that stirs up prayer is a strong church. A strong church is stirred up to work for the Kingdom of God and is seen to be elected by God. To be strong believers takes effort, commitment, and desire. With these in place, the church operates in unity, love, and hope, which will draw in people and help win the lost for Christ.

We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father, knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. 1 Thessalonians 1:2-4 (NKJV)
