To produce people who are strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, to select faithful people and to entrust to them the deposit of prayer; so that they will be able to teach others, and to give to the Lord Jesus Christ soldiers. To produce people who, through the weapon of prayer, will precipitate the return of the Lord.
2 Timothy 2: 1-3
“You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.”
This is what the World University of Prayer is about:
To produce people who are strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, to select faithful people and to entrust to them the deposit of prayer; so that they will be able to teach others, and to give to the Lord Jesus Christ soldiers. To produce people who, through the weapon of prayer, will precipitate the return of the Lord.
In the World University of Prayer, we shall give qualifications from the First School Leaving Certificate right to Nobel Prizes. The diplomas will be in English.
-

-
Master’s degree,
-

You can have these degrees in prayer and in fasting.
We also want to stir people all over the world into doing great things for God. You will be able to get a diploma in the domain of soul-winning. You will be able to get a diploma in pastoring. We shall give diplomas in Church-planting. If you plant a given number of Churches, you will qualify. If you have won a certain number of people to the Lord, you will qualify for a specific diploma. There will be diplomas in giving to God, etc. We want to stir people to come out and do great things for God. We want to recognise high performance in the domains which, when put together, will influence the taking of the Planet Earth for our Lord Jesus Christ. It will be difficult to think of anything whatsoever that can contribute to the building of the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ that will not be included in the diplomas that will be offered.
There will be diplomas in the domain of leadership. If you lead five people or ten, twenty or twenty-five, you will qualify for a diploma. Already in Douala, they have a classification table on the level of leadership. This thought came to us in Douala. If I could use the words of William Carey, the first missionary: “Attempt great things for God. Dare for God.”
There are a number of people who have already qualified for a Bachelor’s degree in fasting.
-
25 forty-day fasts for the Bachelor’s degree.
-
40 forty-day fasts for the Master’s degree.
-
60 forty-day fasts for the PhD.
-
100 forty-day fasts for the Doctor of Divinity (Doctor of Science).
-
200 forty-day fasts for the Nobel Prize.
We want to valorise spiritual issues.
There will be degrees for the number of times you have read the Bible. There will be diplomas for the number of Christian books you have read. When you have read a book, make a summary of what God told you. This is what you will compile and hand in as you seek to qualify for the diploma. In India I read my 1,306th book – a book by E. M. Bounds.
Thus, Bible reading, the reading of Christian literature, and so on are other areas in which we will give diplomas. This is just to give you an idea of what the University of Prayer is about.

Let us pray together, offering to God these dreams, so that He should transform them into reality.
I had not finished giving you my qualifications.
I have files with Special Prayer Topics; issues I consider critical. This is volume 81 (so there are eighty others). I have just started volume 81.
I will read what I wrote in India:
“Our Father and our God, grant that there be spiritual fusion between the elders of the Church in Yaounde and ZTF; so that we will have the same vision, the same standards, and that both as individuals and collectively we will be determined to pay the same price so that the goal should be accomplished.”
The same prayer topic was written on the same day concerning the elders of the Church in Douala. Such prayer topics, I write one on a page.
I will read another one:
“Our Lord and our God, we plead in the Almighty Name of the Lord Jesus that You reveal to me that every sin committed by any believer is a knife driven into God’s heart; so that I will labour in prayer for the sanctification of every believer.”
