CHAPTER ONE

Let us open to the book of Genesis, and see when man first began to cry unto God.

Genesis 4:25-26: And Adam knew his wife again: and she bare a son and called his name Seth: for God, said she, hath appointed me' another seed instead of Abel whom Cain slew. And to Seth to him also them was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the Lord.

Here, three names are represented; three children: Seth, Abel and Cain. Abel was killed by household wickedness; thus, he disappeared from the scene. Cain that slew him got into trouble with the Almighty, even though he had his own generation. Now, Seth, is the appointed generation.

This was the time that prayer, as we know it now, began. It started from the family of Seth the chosen generation.

Psalm 65:2 says:

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

This means that, the person that hearest prayer is God Almighty. The Book of Isaiah chapter 56:7 says:

Even them will I bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Therefore the house of God is meant to be a house of prayer.
