Timothy James Gibson is a pastor at Church of Singapore (Bukit Timah) who hasa passion for teaching the Word of God. He has written a book on knowing God’s will called “Picture Perfect” and a booklet called “Building Prayer Altars”.
Prayer Altar is a lifestyle where we come into the presence of God so that darknessis broken over our lives and land. When we think of our prayer altar as a time and a place rather than a lifestyle, we will believe we are finished commuting with God when that time is over. But when we live the prayer altar lifestyle, we carry
God’s presence wherever we go.
In the booklet “Building Prayer Altars”, Pastor Tim Gibson recommends the following activities to cultivate our prayer altar as a lifestyle:
- Getting up early (5 or 6 AM)
- Reading the Word for 1 or 2 hours
- Worship God
- Pray
These times in the presence of God will launch us out to carry His presence wherever we go. The booklet “Building Prayer Altars” is a must-read if you want to make prayer in presence of God a lifestyle instead of an event.
