To understand the significance of a 24/7 prayer altar, we must first reflect on the creation mandate. From the beginning, Adam and Eve were created to experience an uninterrupted, intimate relationship with God. From the rising of the sun to the setting of the moon, they were constantly aware of His presence. They enjoyed continual communion with God, and this was the purpose for their existence—an unbroken relationship with their Creator.
The 24/7 Prayer Altar at Exploits Worship Centre (E.W.C.) serves as a place where this continuous relationship with God is actively maintained. It provides a space for intercessors and prayer warriors to stand in the gap, ensuring that prayer, intercession, prophetic worship, and praise are ongoing around the clock. The altar not only covers the ministry’s activities but also ensures that the nation is continually lifted in prayer.
This altar is designed to keep the flame of prayer and worship alive, inviting the presence of God into our lives. The biblical foundation for this is found in Leviticus 6:13: “A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out.” This is the goal of the 24/7 Prayer Altar—to maintain a constant spiritual fire, ensuring that our connection to God never fades. Through this, participants are encouraged and empowered to continue praying, whether consciously or subconsciously, throughout their daily lives.
The prayer watches at the altar are conducted in three-hour shifts, ensuring that prayer continues day and night, making the 24/7 prayer altar a central aspect of spiritual life at Exploits Worship Centre.
