IDENTIFIABILITY
OF PRAYER:
By Prof Ben Onyeukwu
Prayer is DIVINELY designed for identifiable persons, animals, places or things, that require it. In other words, prayer targets specific, animate or inanimate objects, which the person(s) who pray(s) must aim at, for desired results. Biblically speaking, there is nothing like random shooting of the arrows of prayer, which anybody can claim by chance. This is why the Apostle Paul could say, "brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved", just as the Prophet Samuel specified Israel, for prayer, when he said,..."far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you"....
The cited scriptural references, and a host of others littered everywhere in GOD'S WORD, readily cast a clear shadows on the randomization of prayers, which many unscrupulous preachers aimlessly shoot out as firecrackers, on social and mainstream media platforms, which they believe people could claim, by just saying amen, is not just stupid, but an unconscious bastardization of the holy principles of prayer.
In prayer, we talk to GOD, and expect HIM to answer. Certainly, the LORD identifies the particulars of everyone who prays, as well as the request they make for themselves or for other people. This means that GOD takes records of every prayer, and determines when, and how to answer them. So, the idea which seems to portray certain individuals as having the power to invade or open the TREASURE HOUSE of the Kingdom of GOD, and in turn, distribute the valuables at will, is a demonically inspired act of falsehood, and spiritual criminality taken too far.
Worthy of note, is that GOD desires specificity in prayer. HE needs to know one who prays, as well as the persons, places, animals or things one is praying for. In furtherance, the LORD requires identifiable prayer points, for identifiable persons who desire identifiable answers to their prayers. Therefore, it is always correct to pray, or ask someone to pray for you, on a specific prayer requests, but always wrong to have a poor, or nonchalant attitude to prayer, yet with the unholy readiness to say amen, in an effort to claim the answers to the prayers offered to GOD, for those who had long waited for them.
In conclusion, please, note that prayers are requests from individuals to GOD, for self, or for other individuals who have specific addresses for the delivery of the answers to the prayers, and so, GOD does not send answers to prayers, to those who are not identifiable with specific addresses, as HE equally has no business sending answers to prayers to those who the prayers were not prayed for. So, random prayer for anybody, is prayer for nobody, and those who pray such prayers, or say amen to them, on social media or elsewhere, are but "Prayer Robbers" on the Highway of prayers. REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL! (See Romans 10:1 and Samuel 12:23)
