Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed. ~Mark 1:35~ 
Long before the megachurch, nearly 6,000 people crowded every service to hear Charles Spurgeon. While many factors have been highlighted that help explain the effectiveness of Spurgeon’s preaching, the foremost secret that empowered Charles Spurgeon was his devotion to prayer.
When people would walk through the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Spurgeon would take them to the basement prayer room where people were always on their knees interceding for the church.
Then Spurgeon would declare, “Here is the powerhouse of this church!” Though the Lord God Almighty can accomplish His purposes without human help, the Bible and church history have consistently shown us that it is His pleasure to act in respond to our prayers.
Therefore, here in AGPC, the leaders are committed to follow the example of the prophet Samuel who pledged, “As for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by failing to pray for you. And I will teach you the way that is good and right” (I Samuel 2:23).
The congregation here is also urged to take after the example of Epaphras who was highly commended by the apostle Paul who said, “Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured” (Colossians 4:12).
Below are the sources of fuel required by the Powerhouse to generate the divine power needed for AGPC to fulfil the Great Commission:
