“COME & ENROL IN GOD’S CALL FOR INTERCESSORS NOW WITHOUT PROCRASTINATION!”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Let the cohanim, who serve Adonai, stand weeping between the vestibule and the altar. Let them say, ‘Spare your people, Adonai! Don’t expose your heritage to mockery, or make them a byward among the Goyim. Why should the peoples say, “Where is their God?’”” (Joel 2:17)
Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar; and let them say, Have pity and spare Your people, O Lord, and give not Your heritage to reproach, that the heathen nations should rule over them or use a byword against them. Why should they say among the people, Where is their God?
GOD’S CALL FOR INTERCESSORS
Intercession is God’s method of involving His children more completely in the totality of His divine plan.
Basically, intercession is prayer offered on behalf of another. When a Christian intercedes, he forgets his personal needs and focuses all his faith and prayer attention on God for others.
Intercession is standing between a lost being and the Almighty God praying that the victim be loosed to enable him know the Lord and His free salvation.
The reason why we fail to see miraculous conversion of hardened sinners and unbelievers is due to lack of dedicated intercessors.
EFFECTIVE INTERCESSORS
(Isaiah 53:12 / Hebrews 7:25)
- Jesus Christ is our perfect example in intercession. (Isaiah 53:12 / Luke 22:41-44 / Hebrews 4:14-16 / 7:25)
- Moses interceded for sinful Israel and God averted judgement. (Exodus 32:7-14) When saints of God pray (men & women) God replaces judgement with mercy.
- Abraham’s intimacy with God made God to share His thoughts and divine plan with him. (Gen 18:17-23) Intercession makes us intimate with God.
- Esther (Esther 4:16-17)
Esther through self-sacrifice prayer delivered Israel from ruin.
- Deborah (Judges 4:8-9)
Deborah was so intimate with God, Adonai Yahweh that He led her to victory.
- Eunice and Lois (2 Timothy 1:5)
The grandmother and mother of Timothy whose lives and powerful influence produced Timothy – a great soldier of the cross.
- Susannah Wesley
She interceded for her children and gave the world John and Charles Wesley – great ministers and revivalists.
- Catherine Booths
Supported the ministry of her husband in reaching out to souls by her prayer life.
- Florence Crawford was a powerful and prayerful woman who through the power of the gospel funded a church (The Apostolic Faith).
- As godly people, we can melt, conquer and convert hardened sinners on our knees.
Bible contemporary people challenge us to the intercessory ministry so as to translate hell bound sinners into heaven bound saints in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
GOD IS CALLING YOU TO BE AN EFFECTIVE INTERCESSOR. WILL YOU ANSWER THE CALL? OBEY!
Shalom and good morning.
