Good -Life Devotional: GOD DOES NOT HAVE SPECIAL HOLY MOUNTAINS FOR PRAYER

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi
Text: Matthew 5:1; John 4:21–24
   Jesus Christ often went up mountains to teach, pray and have private moments with His disciples (Matthew 5:1; Matthew 14:23). In Matthew 8:1, He came down from the mountain, and great crowds followed Him. His movement to the mountains was not because God had special geographical locations where prayers could be heard. Rather, it provided an opportunity to withdraw from the crowds and avoid unnecessary distractions.
   Jesus taught in Matthew 6:6 that we should enter our rooms, shut the door and pray to our Father in secret. This reveals the importance of personal fellowship with God, who sees in secret and rewards openly. However, this does not mean God rejects congregational prayers. In Acts 4:24–31, believers prayed together, and God responded by filling them with the Holy Spirit.
    In John 4:21–24, Jesus explained that true worship would no longer be confined to Jerusalem or any particular mountain, but those who worship God must worship Him in spirit and truth. God's presence is not restricted to geographical locations.
   Through the Holy Spirit, Christ dwells in the heart of every born-again believer (Ephesians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 3:16). He has promised never to leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5). Therefore, WE CAN PRAY ANYWHERE AND AT ANY TIME (1 Thessalonians 5:17; Philippians 4:6).
REFLECTION: Mountains, prayer camps and special locations are not sources of divine power. God hears prayers offered in faith through Jesus Christ, wherever His children call upon Him. Our relationship with God matters more than our geographical location.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive Him as Lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to work miracles .Father, help me develop a consistent and intimate relationship with You. Deliver me from religious misconceptions and teach me to worship You in spirit and truth, through Jesus Christ. Amen.
