The Church of God demonstrates prayer as a high priority by every church becoming ____ for all nations.

• A. house of worship
• B. house of prayer
• C. beacon of light
• D. temple of praise

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that prayer sits at the center of the church’s life, shaping how a local congregation functions and reaches people. Saying every church should become a house of prayer for all nations communicates that intercession, communion with God, and dependence on Him are the defining activities, not just a separate part of worship. Biblically, the phrase reflects the vision that God’s house is a place where people from every nation can come to seek Him and intercede for the world (see passages like Isaiah 56:7 and the temple scene where prayer is highlighted). Among the options, a house of worship emphasizes gathering for services but doesn’t pin down prayer as the primary practice. A beacon of light foregrounds evangelism and visibility, rather than the disciplined practice of prayer. A temple of praise centers on praise experiences but again shifts away from the sustained, intercessory focus that “house of prayer” conveys. Therefore, the best completion is house of prayer, capturing both the priority of prayer and the universal mission to reach all nations.
