Intercession: A Vital Key

 Ephesians 6:19

Intercession is standing in the gap on behalf of another person or people in the place of prayer.

Intercession is a selfless kind of prayer which benefits another.

It is the loving, the strong, and the selfless that usually intercede for others in prayer.

It is giving your time, your strength and words to God so that God will benefit another person or people.

Selfish leaders cannot inspire selfless prayer!

Intercessors are great blessings, its is a great blessing to have intercessors in our lives, families, and churches.

No matter how strong your calling is, you need the prayers of others.

No matter how anointed you are, you need the prayers of others.

No matter how gifted, talented, and endowed you are with spiritual and natural abilities you still need the benefits that come from other people praying for you.

It doesn't matter if your calling had the most spiritually dramatic scenario around it when you were called into God's service, you still need the intercession the church can offer you.

Christians are encouraged to pray for one another.

Paul a foremost Apostle and exceptionally graced man in ministry understood the power of intercession. He would ask for prayer from the churches in his letter to them.

Jesus Christ was a beneficiary of hundreds of years of prayers before his arrival on earth.

Prophecies and prayers had preceded his birth.

The Jews had been expecting the Messiah for generations before the birth of Jesus and they had been praying for Him and about His coming.

Isaiah 9:6

It is a great blessing to have parents, family, or friends who intercede for us in prayer.

Timothy enjoyed such a benefit. He enjoyed the rewards of coming from a godly family. The apostle Paul testified to this.

2 Timothy 1:5

King David obviously knew the importance of intercessory prayer, he prayed that his son king Solomon would be a beneficiary of daily intercession.

The prayer of the church led to Peter's supernatural release by an angel sent from God.

This was a clean, neat deliverance. A  miracle deliverance! A true testimony to the power of intercessory prayer!

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer.

In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention.

Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state.
