SCRIPTURAL EXAMINATION OF “PRAYER MOUNTAIN”

God's blessings shall follow you, for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: SCRIPTURAL EXAMINATION OF “PRAYER MOUNTAIN” 

TEXT: 1 TIMOTHY 2: 1-8 

TUESDAY AUGUST 22ND

Key verse: 2 Corinthians 2: 11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
There is a strong move in the churches of our time that appears to be showing that prayer is more effective and result oriented when done on a mountain. Many people go to the mountains to pray: ministers, believers, and at times the whole congregation of the local church. Those who practice praying on the mountain seem to believe that since Elijah prayed on a mountain and there was rain and Jesus prayed on the mountain on some occasions, the mountain must have some prayer mystery and prayer advantage. More and more people go to the mountains to pray. Some go to lonely mountains in distant places to pray. 
The scripture nowhere encourages the people of God to pray on mountains. There is no scriptural promise for praying on mountains. There is no New Testament example of one who went to pray on a mountain, because Jesus did so, or because of any spiritual advantage. Effectual fervent prayer can be offered to God everywhere, according to the message and practice of the scriptures. We do not condemn anyone who enjoys the solitude of the mountain and occasionally resorts there to pray and meditate. But we condemn the prayer inspiration people have on mountains. 
Praying on the mountain is the same as praying on the seashore or river bank. It is clear to all that the people who adhere to the practice of praying on the seashore or river bank are spiritualists who consult the spirits of the waters. When praying on a mountain becomes a regular practice, it carries the same implication! Note that ignorance endangers, ensnares, and destroys. Satan can subtly take over where life is not guided by the word of God. Some mountains around us are dangerous. They are the habitation of dangerous reptiles, wild beasts, dangerous men, and evil spirits. Beware! Be warned! 

Thought for the day: Ignorance endangers, ensnares, and destroys. 

Song for the day: Jesus, blessed Jesus, I love Your name…

Bible reading for the day: Psalm 119:49-104; 1 Corinthians 4

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
