Today, we share with you a little on intercession and ask that you take time to pray for others; especially for brethren in Nigeria in these times (Pray for us as well).

Acts 21:32 says, “Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul.” #Bible

~

Paul was being beaten by the Jews because of an accusing rumor; right there in the temple!! They would have easily killed him. But when news reached the Commander of the Roman troops, he immediately took soldiers there and when the Jews saw them, they stopped beating Paul.

Now just imagine if the centurion and soldiers decided to go and eat before coming, or watch a movie before coming… Paul would have been killed very early in his ministry.

Many times when news reaches us of those in trouble, there is no urgency in helping. There are times the Holy Spirit impresses on our hearts to pray, sometimes we just wake up in the middle of the night, we know why, but we still find ways and means to continue in deep sleep. Mercy!

And other times we like to give excuses for why we can’t make time to pray on our own or even go to prayer meetings especially when all seems OK with us.

Imagine how many young Christians and pastors want to give up early in life and ministry; and how many other people are suffering and dying because the “soldiers” and “Centurions” of our time are busy; busy watching series, movies, looking for pictures to post on social media, promoting self, ‘chopping’ discount love calls on phone, and sleeping.

Lord have mercy!!!

I pray divine urgency will spur us into much intercessory prayers. And by our prayer may we save much.

Please let’s pray for our brethren in Nigeria. There’s been a number of recent killings and a horrible explosion that has taken the lives of many.

God bless you as you do so and share with others.
