EPISODE 882 – STAND IN THE GAP
Apostle Benjamin Nana Amissah AnsahCHRIST COMMONWEALTH-COMMUNITY
The Love-Life Agency
Unforgiveness or holding on to an offence is a destructive weapon of the enemy. You may think you are doing the right thing by giving a forensic look at the situation. But beloved listen, that is a snare of the adversary. Make it your priority to walk in love as Jesus loved all men.

STAND IN THE GAP
“The people then cried out to Moses; and Moses prayed to the LORD…”
Numbers 11:2 (New American Standard Bible)
As the light of the world, the Lord has called you and sent you to give direction and meaning to lives.
As a New Creation in Christ, you have the mandate to lead your generation. You are called and chosen by God to lead many into purpose.
The first step in fulfilling the assignment of leadership is to entrust the assignment to God.
The core element of every leader’s assignment is people. Every leader is sent out by God to provide answers to the people, irrespective of their condition or needs.
However, kingdom leaders are sent men, and are not to be GOD to the people. Leaders must therefore see themselves as intercessors.
You shape the destinies of people by first praying to the One who has FOREORDAINED THEIR DESTINIES.
Whenever the people of Israel turned away from God or blamed Moses for their condition (instead of taking responsibility for their fears and anxiety), Moses’ reaction was to intercede for the people.
Moses didn’t lead the people of Israel by his own strength. He led Israel through the power of Intercession.
To intercede is to commit the burdens of your community, or the institution of people you are leading, to God.
The adversary sought to destroy lives and destinies, and your strategy is to go into prayer of intercession and also take up intercessory projects which shall help shape the lives entrusted to you.
Jesus said:
“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren” Luke 22:31-32 (KJV).
As a leader, instead of complaining, you stand in the gap for the people entrusted to you by the Lord.
To lead your generation is not to lord yourself over them, but to serve. And the first step you have to take in the service of others is to intercede for them.
BE AN INTERCESSOR TODAY.
DIG DEEPER
(Matthew 5:13-16; Numbers 21:7; Numbers 11:1-2; Romans 1:8-10; 1 Thessalonians 1:2-3; Philippians 1:3-4)
WE PRAY
That we will continually stand in the gap for the people the Lord has entrusted to us.

I lead my generation and the people the Lord has given me firstly through intercession. Thank you Jesus for the Spirit of grace for intercession. I don’t complain, but as Moses turned to the Lord, standing in the gap for the Israelites amidst their wholesome burdens, blunders and complaints, I also turn to the Lord always. Thank you dear Holy Ghost, my Helper, counsellor Intercessor,strengthener,standby, advocate at all times.
Thank you Apostle Sir. You’re a great blessing Sir.

“The first step in fulfilling the assignment of leadership is to entrust the assignment to God.”
The Lord Jesus said, …without Him, we can do nothing. Meaning, our profiting and success in His assignment to us is only by His grace and Sufficiency. I submit my will to the Lord is this assignment. As I see my Father do, I also do. Thank you Jesus..
Thank you Apostle Sir

I CHOOSE INTERCESSION OVER COMPLAINS.
Nkrumah Charles Sarkodie
To lead your generation is not to Lord over the people God has entrusted into your care but to serve. And the first step in service to others is to intercede.
Intercessors are tools in God’s hands to steer the lives of His people from destruction.
Intercession is pleasing and acceptable in the sight of God our savior (1 Timothy 2:1-3).
Edward Atiase
Thank you, Lord Jesus
Kai!
I have learnt what to do as a leader over people.
It is obvious that the people God gives to us are not ours, and sometimes we suffer for nothing when all we need to do is to intercede for them.
Moses never led Israel by His wisdom or strength, same with David, neither Solomon in His early days! Even Prophet Samuel when Israel lived under Judges.
God made the destinies of these brethren we have been given, Hence, we first need to talk to God and even when we have no answers, it must be a habit to consistently pray for our members. So that the Lord of the souls will use as vessels to raise them exactly how He wants them.
Thank you Jesus
Benjamin Okyere
Destinies depend on us and we must stand up to stand in for them so they also come to enjoy of the hope Jesus has given to us
We must not get tired because the enemy is not and when love leads there will always be a drive to do more
