The Downtown-Ofaakor Area Head of The Church of Pentecost, Apostle William Kojo Edzorhoho, has revealed that prayer is the bridge between humanity and God.
According to him, nothing is more important than prayer in dealing with humanity.
Apostle Edzorhoho said this on Thursday, October 31, 2024, during the just-ended ‘PCC Revival,’ a prayer and fasting event organised by the Pentecost Convention Centre at Gomoa-Fetteh in the Kasoa Area.
Speaking on the theme, ‘My House Shall Be Called a House of Prayer,’ and drawing from 2 Chronicles 7:14 and Acts 4:31, he underscored the importance of making prayer the foundation of a Christian’s walk.
Apostle Edzorhoho indicated that the concept of a ‘house of prayer’ can be understood in two distinct ways, drawing from Isaiah 56:7. He explained that Jesus meant a physical temple and, therefore, church buildings are indeed houses of prayer which should be treated with reverence and set apart as places for encountering God.
He also disclosed that every believer is, in essence, a house of prayer, inhabited by the Holy Spirit.
‘You, as a believer, is personally a house of prayer,” he stated, explaining that whenever believers gather in God’s presence, they transform that space into a house of prayer, whether it is a small group or a large assembly.
Explaining the significance of the house of prayer, the Downtown-Ofaakor Area Head noted that it connects believers with God, creating an open link between the earthly and divine realms and becoming a place where miracles, breakthroughs, and spiritual growth are fostered.
According to him, in such a setting, God’s presence is honoured through worship, intercession, and the pursuit of divine wisdom and guidance.
He described the house of prayer as a place of forgiveness, where believers experience reconciliation with God and each other.
Prayer, he hinted, is the essence of a believer’s power and spiritual growth.
‘No one is more powerful than their prayer life,’ Apostle Edzorhoho declared, advising believers to make prayer a visible and impactful part of their character and conduct.
He reminded the congregation that prayer is not merely a religious practice but a divine strategy, saying, ‘Prayer is not our message; it is God’s method for the message. It’s not just a good idea; it’s His plan. Everything is by prayer.’
He added: ‘God’s work requires men and women who are skilled in the business of prayer.’
