In Matthew 9:37-38 it is said there that "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest,” Doing G12 system without prayer is useless. Prayer is very important in the life of a Disciple. Without prayer it would be impossible for a Christian to do Discipleship. The absence of prayer in a Christian life will only result to a far less effective and far more vulnerable to the enemy. The reality is when you do Discipleship you need the blessing and support of the Lord. You need to be intimate with Him. When the Disciples pray, God will work.
When you share the good news you plant the seeds of the Gospel, but it is still the Lord God who causes the growth (1 Cor. 3:6-7). Through prayer and petition you ask God to give that growth. Through prayer you ask God to convict the unrepentant of their sin and by that awaken in them the need for salvation.
Jesus is very successful in making Disciples because He prayed frequently (Matt. 14:23; 26:36; Mark 6:46; Luke 5:16; John 17). Apostle Paul prayed (Rom. 1:9; Eph. 1:16). Stephen also prayed (Acts 7:55-60). God wants us to pray to Him and have an intimate relationship with Him (John 1:1-4). In prayer there is power against our enemy because there is a battle and our battle is not against flesh and blood but against powers and the spiritual forces of darkness (Eph. 6:12). Prayer is one of God's ordained means for you to do spiritual warfare, and winning souls is definitely a spiritual warfare.
In general, without prayer it is impossible for us to do the G12 model of Jesus Christ. We have to constantly and earnestly pray to God who has in control of everything. If we are faithful in our prayer life, establishing our generation is easy.
