“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
When we read the entire chapter 22 we see the sins of the nation. We read of dishonor , sexual immorality, mistreatment, shedding of blood, priests not distinguishing between holy and unholy , prophets lying with false prophecies, wrongful oppression…. This was the state of the nation .
A lot of us might think “Yeah God punish this wicked nation so that they will know they cannot mess with You !!” . I mean they were totally lost in wickedness .
But this is the heart of God. He sought for a man who would
• Make a wall
• Stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land
The wall was a protection around the city. And its not an easy build. It has to be really strong to stand in the day of battle. In short a lot of work. So the question is while we know what’s wrong with our city, what’s wrong with our nation , what are we doing otherwise that will be like a wall to it ?
The next is stand in gap before Him on behalf of the land. So when we are saying on behalf , its not simply saying “Oh Lord please bless XYZ country”. Its us standing on behalf saying “Lord I stand here as XYZ Country and this is my prayer” … huge difference.
God’s heart is so merciful . His love is beyond comprehension. When God is searching will He find us ? Or will He find no one because we were too wrapped up with office, college, friends
God Bless
