Will You Stand in the Gap?

Ezekiel 22:30 - "And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none."

God described Israel at this time as a nation of disgrace - abomination. Why? Guilty of shed blood (v.4); defiled by idols made (v.4); father and mother are treated with contempt (v.7); those who visit suffer extortion (v.7); they despised God's Word; commit slander (v.9); are lewd (v.9); sexual immorality, rape women etc.

But although God was about to execute judgment on the sin of Israel He would relent if a man would STAND on His behalf, STAND in the GAP torn down, and BUILD to His glory.

There are many movies today with fictional characters who will stand for various reasons and the world stands and applauds. There are few today who in REALITY stand in the gap because they fear no one will notice them...no one will pat them on the back and give them words of encouragement.

The Apostle Paul said, "For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ." - Galatians 1:10

The Church needs men! Men that will stand in front of their families and in front of their wives and at the front of their churches - Leading, Growing, Sacrificial, and God-fearing.

God desires for Men to Stand Up and Build to Hold what's been gained and Gain what's been destroyed and held by the enemy - to "Stand in the Breach" before God that the enemy will not enter through.

What does your family need? A man who prays, reads the Bible and leads in the home and at church.

What does your Wife need? A man who prays, reads the Bible and leads in the home and at church.

What does your Church need? A man who prays, reads the Bible and leads in the home and at church.

Would God find in you that man that is standing in the gap before Him to His glory? A man who is tearing down or building up?

Know God's grace - Men, let's stand together and build before the Lord!
