STAND IN THE GAP (A CALL TO INTERCEDE FOR OTHERS)
Let's study this scripture ππ½
Ezekiel 22:30 KJV
"And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none."
Friends, sin is very destructive, it destroys the covering and creates a gap which opens up a door for God's wrath and judgement. When a nation, community, family or individuals indulge in sin, their hedge of protection is pe*****ted. And we can know when there is no covering because people become defenceless, they loose good things and evil circulates.
It's unfortunate that sometimes there is none that appears as an intercessor for them
In Ezekiel 22:30, God sought for a man among them that should stand in the gap, but He found none.
Even today, few individuals are willing to pay the price. We don't have time for pleading for others.
This morning I want to let you know that we are all intercessors, and God calls us to stand in the gap.
When people sin, God expects you & me to intercede for them. Instead of talking about them, we should stand in the gap by repentance, prayer and reformation.
Brethren, will you make a hedge and stand in the Gap?
Will you make intercession for your friends, family and nation to turn away God's judgement?
Will you rebuild the walls of righteousness so that the enemy doesn't pe*****te the camp of your people?
Church, God is calling us to the place of prayer, not just to pray our lives but others
