‘God Doesn’t Read Letters’, Dr Abel Damina Discounts Prayer Request Written On A Paper 

THE founder of Power City International, Dr Abel Damina (aka Global Papa), has said that prayer should be said, not written on a piece of paper.

According to the clergyman, “Jesus said, when we stand to pray, we should say not write.”

He said this during his teaching in his church.

“Prayer request written on a paper is not prayer, God doesn’t read letters, God doesn’t read letters.

“If God were to be reading letters, there would be no need to pray. He would have said, and when you sit down, email me a letter. But he said, when you pray, say, not write”.

“He didn’t say when you pray write. God doesn’t read letters, so when you are busy writing prayer requests to pastors, and they heap the prayer request on top of the table, and they are praying, God is not reading any of those prayer requests. 

“So if the people making those prayer requests really want to do the right thing, they are supposed to read each of them one by one and pray directly on each one, one by one. Not dump them on the table and be praying on the table”.

“He said praying always with all prayer and supplication for all saints. So even when we pray for saints, we pray saying not reading.

“There are a lot of unapostolic practices going down or going on in Christianity that are not scriptural. 

“When you pray, say. The disciples of Jesus came to Jesus himself and said, teach us to pray. 

“Jesus said, when you stand praying, ‘say’. So if you are not ‘saying’, you are not praying. He didn’t say when you stand praying, ‘write’. He said ‘say’.

”If anybody could have written, it’s Jesus that should have been writing, or they should have been writing letters to Jesus, but there was no such practice”.

“Is there anything wrong with writing letters? Nothing is wrong with writing letters but that is not a prayer”.
