"MOUNTAINS AND PRAYER " WHAT ARE THE FACTS

"MOUNTAINS AND PRAYER " WHAT ARE THE FACTS

The world is full of many high places erhm I mean mountains, and Ghana is not exempted from the list of popular tourist destinations when we talk of Mountainous places. Here are some common ones; Afadjato, Odwen Anoma. Most of these mountains are sources of attraction to tourists while others are sacred places for prayers.

Today marks International Mountain Day, and the SOOBOLO team is out to speak with pastors to find out why prayers are offered on mountains with the believe that God dwells there and thus our prayers will be answered. To find out what exactly it was we spoke to Rev. Fred Deegbe of Calvary Baptist Church

Rev pls tell us why?
 

Christians go to mountains because there they have that special time to connect with God. Different reasons are associated in going to mountains to pray.

Rev, is there something supernatural up on the mountain for Christians?

He further stated that the is no special thing on the mountain but  in Scriptures the Bible says Jerusalem was on a mount where the temple of God was built and Jesus also went to pray the mountain to pray for 40days and 40 nights. Christian believe that  going there is like visiting the temple of Jerusalem anyway people can still be in their rooms and pray God will still have ears to listen to their plea.
 GOD IS EVERYWHERE, EVERY TIME!
