Isaiah 56:7

Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”

Today i would like us to go more deeper into this verse of the bible and see who it is really referring to first before we misplace the real essence of this scripture cause many believers feel that Prophet Isaiah was referring to a congregation or church.

Now bible says in Acts 7: 48 that "However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says: meaning that what the Prophet Isaiah called a house was not a physical house as men thought it is. Then in 1st Corinthians 6:19, Paul asked th Church in Corinth a very important question about their understanding of who they are and what they had become on the strength of their new life in Christ Jesus. So he asked them,

1st Corinthians 6:19

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?**

Let's start today by saying that "a house that prayer is not found in it is not qualified to be called the house of Jesus.

• So God lives within the confines of a man's heart.

Now when scripture says that the house of God shall be called the house of prayer for all nations, first scripture is not referring to a congregation or a church but is referring to the individual believer.

• Every believer who doesn't pray can not be called a house of God.

Please understand me, i am not saying that God wouldn't make His dwelling in you through your born again experience but rather it is saying that the more you pray,the more He inhabits you and expresses Himself more through you. I mean salvation alone has already offered God a room in our heart but prayers and not only prayers but continuous prayers makes you conformable to the bidding of His kind heart.

Receive grace now to become a prayer house for God. Amen.
