Prayer is more than just a spiritual routine, it is a divine encounter, a fellowship with God that transforms lives, nations, and destinies. According to Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, “Prayer is not man trying to get God’s attention or persuade Him to do something. Prayer is God’s idea; it’s His invitation to fellowship with Him, to partner with Him in effecting change.” This powerful understanding reshapes how believers view prayer—not as a religious obligation, but as a privilege to co-labor with God in manifesting His will on Earth.
As the world prepares for two spiritually charged events: the Global Prayer and Fasting from Friday, August 1st to Saturday, August 2nd, 2025, and the Global Communion Service on Sunday, August 3rd, 2025, millions across the globe are aligning their hearts with this divine rhythm of prayer, unity, and purpose.
Pastor Chris: What Is Prayer?
In the teachings of Pastor Chris, prayer is defined as “communication with God through the human spirit.” It’s the channel through which believers exercise their authority in Christ, declare God’s Word over circumstances, and receive divine guidance. Prayer isn’t begging God; it is aligning with His will and releasing power for His purposes to prevail.
Through prayer, believers take their place in the divine order, fulfilling their priestly ministry and demonstrating the victory of Jesus Christ over the forces of darkness. Pastor Chris emphasizes that every believer has a vital role in prayer—not just pastors or intercessors, but every child of God.
Why Prayer Matters According to Pastor Chris
Pastor Chris teaches that there are different kinds of prayers for different purposes—prayers of intercession, petition, thanksgiving, and spiritual warfare. Each plays a critical role in transforming lives and circumstances.
“Prayer is how we cause changes. When you pray, things don’t remain the same.” — Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
Here are a few reasons why prayer is essential:
-
It gives God the legal right to intervene on Earth. Because God has given authority to man over the Earth (Genesis 1:26), He requires our invitation to move in human affairs. Prayer is that invitation.
-
It changes the one who prays. Beyond affecting the world, prayer transforms the believer from within—strengthening their faith, sharpening their spirit, and aligning them more closely with God’s thoughts.
-
It impacts the nations. Time and again, Pastor Chris has led global prayer sessions where millions unite to pray for peace, healing, and revival in the nations of the world—and testimonies have followed.
A Global Movement of Prayer and Fasting
From Friday, August 1st to Saturday, August 2nd, believers around the world will gather for the Global Prayer and Fasting with Pastor Chris. This is a divine assignment to stir the heavens and enforce God’s purposes on Earth.
Starting at 6 PM GMT+1 each day, this special time of consecration and intercession is an opportunity for believers to focus, pray, fast, and partner with the Spirit of God for divine intervention in their lives, their nations, and the global Church.
Participants will pray in tongues, declare God’s Word, and experience the glory of corporate unity—across continents and cultures. And because it’s a fast, it’s also a time of consecration, as believers tune out distractions to receive divine direction and inspiration.
Culminating in the Global Communion Service
The weekend of prayer and power will culminate in the August 2025 Global Communion Service with Pastor Chris on Sunday, August 3rd at 3 PM GMT+1. This sacred gathering brings believers together to break bread, receive the Word, and partake in the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
The Communion is a powerful ordinance that connects the Church with the finished works of Christ. As Pastor Chris has taught repeatedly, “When we take the Communion, we are declaring that we live by Christ. It is a celebration of His life in us.”
Every Global Communion Service is a time of revelation, celebration, and prophetic direction for the new month—and August will be no different. Expect to receive clarity, healing, upliftment, and direction for your life.
