I know many of you might be wondering how can we turn God to a wicked
being, it is totally impossible and yes I agree with you but what if you were
told that due to the way you pray to God you might just be asking him to be a
wicked being.
I was asked by a female friend of mine about two week ago to follow her
to a church youth program, it was a prayer/get together program, at first I
didn’t want to go but after she pleaded I decided to go with her, make e no
be like say I dey do shakara . Just like she said the youth people in her
church were very nice and friendly at least the few I chatted with before the
program started. The program started with the prayer section which must have
lasted for about two hours, not too sure because I left an hour into the prayer
section. Am sure you all must be wondering why I left during the prayer section
at least I should have waited till after the prayer before taking my leave but make
I explain myself.
The prayer started on a very cool note that I felt like a Christian but
after thirty minute going to forty five minute, the course of the prayer
started to change and honestly I became so uncomfortable and when I couldn’t
take it anymore I just left. After the prayer my friend noticed that I was gone
and she was pissed because when she called me she voiced her anger, she was
more pissed with the fact that I left without telling her. I apologies to her,
pleaded with her not to be angry that I had to leave because I got a very
important and urgent call which was a lie. Later that night I started to think
about what happened that made me leave the program and that was when I realized
that it wasn’t about the length of the prayer but what they were actually
saying in the prayer that got to me. The person that led the prayer was the one
that started it, after saying we should thank the lord for the good things He
has done in our lives, the next prayer point was when I started to wonder what
kind of prayer were they doing. If it was a deliverance I might probably
understand but it was just a normal prayer section so hearing words like “Father
anybody that is trying to block my success, Father Lord please let your Holy
Ghost fire consume them” and “Daddy please let all the people that are
planning or plotting any evil thing against me, let them die in Jesus name”
and to my surprise everybody shouted “amen”.
Now I know you might probably be saying it is a good prayer, that they
were praying against any form of evil that might want to attack them which am
not saying is a bad thing to do but where am finding it difficult to comprehend
is the “fire consuming them or dying part”. The Lord is not a wicked God
at least we all know that so am wondering why someone will ask God to kill
someone and others would say amen to that. Yes they are praying against
their enemies but what kind of prayer is that, asking GOD to kill somebody,
that doesn’t sound like a prayer as a matter of fact I don’t see any different
between them and their enemies. Am sure we were told never to pay evil with
evil, so how does asking God to kill your enemy a good thing that will make
people say amen? I mean what about this kind of prayers “Father please
anybody that is plotting any evil thing against me Father lord please don’t let
them be successful” or “Daddy who so ever is planning to block my
success Father I pray in the name of Jesus their plan should not work”. I
have not been able to ask God for his protection over me? You can correct me if
am wrong but this kind of prayers shouldn’t be what a true believer should be
saying unless you technically want to turn GOD to a wicked being because you
asking Him to kill someone for you is a wicked act.
Now let even assume that such prayers were accepted because am sure it
can’t be accepted but let say it was and that your enemy was consume by the
Holy Ghost fire, who do you think will take the blame on judgment day or have
you forgotten that every human being shall be held accountable for his/her
action? You might not understand it now probably because you have never thought
about it the way I have but believe you me, asking the Lord to kill your enemy
or the Lord should destroy your enemy is as much as a sin as you actually doing
other bad things. The fact that you could even wish some death is a sin on its
own not talk about you putting it in prayers or have you also forgotten that intention
speaks louder than word and that as humans we are judge based on our
intention sometimes.
If you are among those that utter such prayers I employ you to change
because it far better and more rewarding when you pray for your own protection
and ask God to change the mind of your enemies toward you than you asking the
Lord to consume them with fire.
