Centre verse (John 12:19)."The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold the world is gone after him." TEXT: JOHN 12:12-22. One among the greatest privileges Christians enjoy is the unlimited access into the presence of the Almighty, the creator of heaven and earth and everything therein. Prayer of praise, petition or intercession bring divine presence. Our text today is concentrating on the mortify prayer to God by Moses the man of God,when the children of Israel rebelled against God. The mind of God was to terminate them from existence but Moses prayed on their behalf. Moses the man of God rejected the position of God to disinherited them and make him greater and mightier nation than they. Moses begged with God,asking him to pardon the people, depending on the characteristics of God's love, patience, long suffering, forgiveness and mercy. God honoured the humble prayer of Moses(Numbers 14:20). Intercessory prayer has healed diseases, saved sinners,raised the death and suspended plagues. God is looking for intercessors today who will take a stand between Him and crowd of sinners that qualify for judgement so that they can obtain His mercy and forgiveness in the similar way Israelites did. God is still looking for another Paul the apostle who will labour in prayer for the conversion of souls and also that Christians " be firm and complete in all the will of God." God is still seeking Christ- like intercessors who will pray for the likes of Peter so that their faith will not fail. God gave freedom to Jews from ultimately death and destruction when Esther prayed. How frequently do you intercede for your dear nation, leaders,local church, family, neighbours and also your enemy? You can begin today and start to see the effect of sincere and passionate prayer to God in the activities of men. REMEMBER THIS: Prayer is the heart's earnest desire,mentioned or unexpressed. Further Bible verses: John 11:47,48.
