INTERCEDING THROUGH YOUR QUIET TIME
Main Text: Genesis 18:20-33
Memory Verse: Ezekiel 22:30. I looked for a man among them who
would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the
land so that I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.
Introduction
Quiet time affords believers the opportunity to
encounter God every day. This meeting provides a
good atmosphere for intercession in all kinds or forms.
It is important to note that special intercessory prayer
meetings are not the only channels to intercede for
others. Intercession is to come between two parties and
resolve a dispute by pleading for the one at fault. In
today’s study, we will look at God’s desire for an
intercessor and how we can use our quiet time to pray
on behalf of our friends, colleagues, family, church and
even nation.

Conclusion
Abraham encountered God alone and pleaded to God
for others and not himself. This study teaches us to
intercede and plead for others when we encounter God
through our quiet time. Abraham’s passion and
persistence in prayer was to free some people in Sodom
and Gomorrah. As we engage God in our quiet time, it
is important we passionately pray for our family
members, colleagues, and the nation among others. For
God is always attentive to the prayers of His saints.
