STANDING IN THE GAP 1

“So, I sought for a man among them who would make a wall and 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)
God would always give a chance to whoever or people going in a wrong direction. God, in this passage, said He was looking for a man, to stand in the gap, to intercede, on the behalf of the land; that He may not destroy It, but could not find any. Be willing to stand out wherever you may find yourself, be one of the remnants who soils not his or her garment, that you might be considered for God's Use when He needed someone to be used for a particular assignment (2 Timothy 2:21).

It is a thing to be regretted that God could not get a person who can stand in the gap, to intercede on the behalf of the people of the land of Judah.
One might be asking; Why did God need someone to stand in the gap, pray or intercede, before He could do whatever He wanted to do? He should simply go ahead and do whatever He thought to be necessary.
The rulership or control of the earth was given to Man, Adam, at the onset, and that has not been taken or withdrawn by God (Genesis 1:27-30). Although, the authority was hijacked by the devil, through trickery; but potentially, whatever would be done on earth, in the physical, had to be through the approval of Man or Human.

Thus, God needed someone to stand in the gap, in prayer, and call on Him to intervene in the situation of Judah, Israel, before He could intervene or do anything.
Even the devil and other spirit beings needed humans before they could operate on the earth. Man's or Human's physical body is the entry point to the earth; thus, Human's approval is needed for any spirit being to operate in the world.
Thus, your prayer of intercession is the invitation and approval for God to intervene and work or operate or do whatever is needed to be done.
Peace.
