The Ministry of Intercession
The Ministry of Intercession is a call to a profound and impactful spiritual responsibility within the body of Christ. Rooted in the scriptures, this ministry embodies standing in the gap for others, advocating for divine intervention, and seeking God’s will for the world, the Church, and individual lives through dedicated prayer.
What is the Ministry of Intercession About?
The essence of intercession is derived from God’s desire to partner with His people in bringing about transformation and blessings on earth. The Bible speaks of intercessors as “watchmen on the walls” (Isaiah 62:6-7) who never tire of calling upon the Lord day and night until His promises are fulfilled. This ministry involves standing in the gap, as mentioned in Ezekiel 22:30, and being vessels through which God’s love, mercy, and power flow to meet the needs of His people.
Why Join the Ministry of Intercession?
- Make a Difference: Intercessors have a unique role in shaping the spiritual landscape. Through prayer, they intervene on behalf of individuals, communities, and even nations, making a real impact by aligning the physical world with God’s heavenly purposes.
- Experience Intimacy with God: As an intercessor, you will deepen your relationship with God, learning to hear His voice and discern His will. You become a co-labourer with Christ, bringing forth His plans and promises through prayer.
- Witness the Power of Prayer: The ministry is not just about asking but expecting answers. Intercessors are bold and faithful, standing confidently in the knowledge that “whatever you ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you” (John 15:16). As you persist in prayer, you will see God move in extraordinary ways.
- Become a Spiritual Warrior: The ministry equips its members with spiritual strength, wisdom, and the fervour to persist in prayer even when situations seem impossible. You become part of a spiritual battalion that fights not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual darkness, bringing about God’s light and truth.
