*SHARE GOD'S BURDEN*
When God was ruling over Israel through Samuel, the prophet and judge, the people wanted a king to rule over them. When Samuel told the Lord that the people had rejected him, God said, "they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them" (I Sam 8:7).
Earlier, when the people had made Gods for themselves, Moses had interceded for them and saved them from the wrath of God. Now when they asked for a king, Samuel realised how much the lord would be grieved. He bore God's grief as his own. He pleaded with the Lord asking him to have mercy on them. not everyone can pray like this, only those who understand the mind of the lord can.
In Isaiah 59:16 we read that the Lord wondered that there was no intercessor. the Lord still wonders that there is no intercessor. some Ministries are visible while the ministry of intercession is a ministry done in the closet, seen only by the heavenly father above.
The Holy Spirit is an intercessor. The Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26). and Jesus ever lives to make intercession for us (Hebrews 7:25). should we not then share the burden of the lord in unceasing intercession before his Throne of grace? Is not the lot on the Lookout for such intercessors?
