The importance of being in God’s will and being a woman/man of faith who stands in the gap is seen in Genesis 18:16-33, where Abraham pleads for Sodom before its destruction. The fact that the Lord honours such faith is seen in His willingness to listen to Abraham and also to spare the city if only 10 righteous people were to be found there. May we be found worthy of standing before the land and standing in the gap for others.

The concept of praying for one another or standing in the gap for others is not foreign. In Exodus 17:10-15, Moses lifted the staff of God in His hands as Joshua led the army in war against Amalek. This may have signified the glory of God, and is the origin of the name Jehovah Nissi. Allow me to use this analogy to encourage us to constantly pray for one another and for the church and nation. I hope we will one day hear great testimonies of breakthrough due to God’s mercy because of our action of faith.

It may not be easy under the circumstances you are in, but give thanks. Your heart may be heavy due to grief, fatigue, the many challenges you are facing, but give thanks. Where you are unable to do so please let us know so we can give thanks on your behalf. We may only focus on the current circumstances, but God sees the bigger picture. Even in our challenges He is sustaining us, so there is reason to be thankful Psalm 136.

The challenges we face can either be to build our character – James 1:2-4 – or an opportunity for God to be glorified, or a consequence of our sin. Whichever way, the role of our faith and understanding is critical when we undergo challenges. May Jeremiah 32:27, Matthew 19:26 and Mark 9:23 help shape our attitude during such times.

Will there be challenges when I decide to live for Him? Of course there will be. But even then, He gives counsel on how we ought to live. He also assures us He will never forsake us 1 Timothy 4:1-10, Psalm 94:14, Hebrews 13:5, etc.

My response to our discussion therefore is to live for Him. If He loved me to the extent of giving up His only Son for me, then I will live for Him. I will not become a slave of others, I’d rather be His slave & remain in Him (1 Cor 7:22-24). And He graciously enables me to live for Him 2 Peter 1:3-4.

Seeing that the greatest sacrifice was made for our sake, let us reflect on this a little. What does this mean for us? I therefore feel obliged to respond to that great deed. I need to realise that I am not my own, rather I belong to God. He did it to woo me to Himself. I should therefore heed what 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and 7:22-24 say.

God gave His best for the atonement of the sins of Gis people. The blood of bulls and goats was not sufficient to take away those sins. So He gave up His son. What can we give to impact the lives of others? Are we dedicated to the ministry He has called us to? Hebrews 10:2-18.

If the fruit of the Spirit is in us and we keep growing in these virtues as espoused in Galatians 5:22-23, then we will be able to relate well with each other and live responsibly. We shall also be able to support one another without taking advantage of each other. This may sound simplistic, but going back to the basics will give us an orientation that will get rid of many of the ills affecting our relationships today, e.g. greed, malice, hatred, jealousy, etc.

Giving to help those in need is another act that has diminished with time. It is motivated by love and faith that the Lord will take care of the giver’s needs. It is hampered by selfishness and unbelief. But there is also the dependence syndrome among those in need that hinders some of them from working to provide for their needs. May the Lord help us all to be honest and keen to seek and hear His guidance on this Acts 4:32-35.
