How to Develop the Mantle of Intercession in Your Daily live

Title: I Sought for a Man

Scripture: "I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one." - Ezekiel 22:30 (NKJV)

Devotional:

In Ezekiel 22:30, God expresses His deep longing for someone to stand in the gap on behalf of the land. He sought for a man who would intercede, who would pray, and who would weep for the sins of the people. But sadly, He found no one.

This scripture is a powerful reminder of the importance of intercession. God is looking for men and women who will stand in the gap, who will pray for their families, communities, and nations. He is seeking those who will weep for the sins of the people, who will mourn for the lost, and who will cry out for justice.

Practical Applications:

1. *Take up the mantle of intercession*: Make a commitment to pray regularly for your community, nation, and the world.

2. *Stand in the gap*: Be willing to take a stand for what is right, even if it means standing alone.

3. *Weep for the lost*: Allow yourself to feel the weight of the lost and the broken, and let that motivate you to pray and act.

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I hear Your cry for someone to stand in the gap. I want to be that person. Give me a heart of intercession, a spirit of compassion, and a voice that cries out for justice. Use me to make a difference in my community and in the world. Amen.
