Prayer has been confirmed to be a major hallmark of dedication to God. To be prayerful is to be dedicated to God. In other words, you cannot be dedicated to God without being given to a lifestyle of consistent prayer. Dedicated people are known for their prayer altars.
To appreciate the importance of prayer in our lives, there is a need to look at the products of dedication to prayer:
i. The altar of prayer is the altar of transformation
Prayer changes people. When Jesus prayed, the fashion of His countenance was altered (Luke 9:29). We are changed into the likeness of Jesus Christ by prayer. Many things have changed in my own life by virtue of prayer. I was someone who could not address a crowd before, but now, prayer has changed that in my life. So, the altar of prayer is an altar of transformation.
ii. The altar of prayer is the altar of consecration
Prayer separates a person from bad habits, friends, connections and associations. The place of prayer is the place of consecration. It is at the place of prayer that one’s garment can become white (Luke 9:29). The place of prayer is the place of sanctification. When the disciples gathered together at the place of prayer, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them (Acts 13:2). So, the altar of prayer is the altar of separation and consecration. Beloved, the more prayerful you are, the more transformed and consecrated you would be.
Remember this: The place of prayer is the place of consecration.
