Yesterday was Thursday, May 24 - Eritrean Independence day. But it was also the day that we have begun our 40 days of prayer for our country and Church. As we continue to pray and intercede for our people and the persecuted Church, let us reflect on the following thoughts on the duty of Christian prayer and Intercession.
“On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen; all the day and all the night they shall never be silent. You who put the LORD in remembrance, take no rest, and give him no rest until he establishes Jerusalem and makes it a praise in the earth.” Isa 62:6
I would like to share some thoughts about standing in the gap. Andrew Murray wrote, “It is when intercession for the whole Church, by the whole Church ascends to God's throne that the Spirit of Unity and Power can have its full sway.”
He also wrote, “Prayer and Intercession, [is] the link between heaven and earth.
Once in a prison in Eritrea, a guard asked a praying Christian what he was doing. He responded, “I am crying to the heavenly court for Mercy and Justice!”
Let us be reminded that our help is only from the Lord and only by remaining on our knees.
May these words of reflection help and inspire us to persevere in prayer throughout the 40 days campaign.
We are in Christ, the greatest Advocate and Intercessor for His people!
