Topic : The Power Of Intercession.

Memory Verse : Genesis 18:17. And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

Bible Reading : Genesis 18:18-20 KJV. Key Verse :v19.

Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

God appeared to Abraham on the plains of Mamre as three men (Father, Son and Spirit). They had quality time together as frieds. When God was leaving Manre and on his way to Sodom and Gomorrah, he decided to inform Abraham of what he was about to do, as a man whose heart is with God wholly, who followed hard after God in everything. “And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous; I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know. And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.” Genesis 18:20-22.

This information gave Abraham the opportunity to stand before God and intercede for Sodom and Gomorrah intending to make God spare the corrupt people of the land because of his nephew Lot who was there, at that point in time. “And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein? That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? And the LORD said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.” Genesis 18:23-26.

God in his faithfulness enjoyed Abraham while he lasted before him pleading the course of Sodom and Gomorrah in order to preserve the city as to save righteous Lot and his family. God didn’t at any point get tired of Abraham, till himself decided on his own to give up interceding. “And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty’s sake. And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for tens sake. And the LORD went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.” Genesis 18:31-33. Because of his prayers, Lot and his family was rescued out of Sodom and Gomorrah though God couldn’t find ten righteous men in the land. Today God is still depending on us as his people to stand in the place of prayer and affect what happens in our generation. If we can pay the price of seeking his face, we shall find him and on time too. There are many things God wouldn’t do on earth, except we pray to make them happen.

Prayer : Thank you Father God for giving the earth to man to control. Thank you for restoring that which Adam lost through Jesus to mankind. As I stand before you, use me to shape things in my life, family, society and generation. Thank you for using me change things through prayers in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : John 12:1-11.
