THE LAMP DEVOTION

1 Timothy 2:1-4
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and reverence. 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

One reality that we cannot run away from is the fact that the world seriously needs God’s intervention. I am sure by now the world can no longer fool us with technological inventions and developments in the world of science to make us think all is well in our world. All is not well. Every day weird things happen, many of which clearly violate the very principles that will guarantee happiness, security, equity and all the nice values we talk about.

Unfortunately, the church is caught up in this whole rumble. It is becoming difficult to differentiate the church from the world. One word clearly describes what is needed at this point in time – HELP.
We need help, one that comes from above. We need God’s intervention. The people who think the world needs more knowledge to survive are missing the point. Can you imagine how much knowledge is contained in the libraries of the world, with many more coming out?

We need God’s direct intervention. This calls for constant unrelenting prayer before the heavenly father. The world needs intercessors now more than ever. We need men like Daniel and Elijah and Jeremiah to go before the throne of God and intercede for the world.
The world maybe too big in your mind. Start where you are. Pray constantly for your family, your community and your nation. Prepare your heart to stand in the gap.

Prayer
Thank God for preserving your life and keeping you still in the faith.
Pray for a greater burden to intercede on behalf of your family, community and nation.
Father, please increase my capacity to stand in the gap for my world.

Declarations
I embrace God’s call for intercessors. I offer myself to stand in the gap. By the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, I propel myself to do more than I have done standing in the gap. My energies henceforth shall be channeled to praying for everything around me. I believe God will hear my prayer, so I shall not falter in the name of Jesus.
