Standing in the Gap – Faith, Obedience, and Intercession

Image
In times of uncertainty and hardship, one of the most powerful things we can do is stand in the gap—to pray, intercede, and act with faith on behalf of others. This call to spiritual responsibility is modeled powerfully in the story of Moses and the parting of the Red Sea. Exodus 14:21 says: “Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided.” This verse marks a dramatic moment in history—a miracle that rescued an entire nation. But the miracle didn’t begin with the wind or the water. It began with obedience. 1. Obedience Over Understanding When God told Moses to stretch out his hand and raise his staff, He didn’t give him a full explanation. He didn’t say, “This is how the sea will split.” He simply gave an instruction. Moses could have hesitated. He could have asked, “Why?” or “Will it work?” But he didn’t. He obeyed.

PLETTENBERG BAY NEWS – The body of a 19-year-old woman was found today, allegedly with head wounds, at the sports stadium opposite Murray High School in Kwanokuthula. SAPS forensic investigators were on the scene, and the circumstances surrounding the young woman’s death are under investigation, said SAPS spokesperson, Sergeant Chris Spies. This tragic event has left the local community shaken, prompting renewed calls for safety and vigilance—especially for the youth. In times like these, we are reminded of the importance of keeping our loved ones in prayer and seeking divine protection.

When Pride Meets Mercy: How Naaman's Humility Led to HealingBased on 2 Kings 5:10–12

Introduction Have you ever been too proud to accept help, especially when it comes from an unexpected source? Sometimes the greatest breakthroughs in life come when we lower our defenses and listen—not just to God, but to the people He places around us. One of the most vivid biblical examples of this is found in the story of Naaman, a powerful Syrian commander whose life was transformed not only by a miracle—but by a moment of humility. Let’s explore 2 Kings 5:10–12 and discover how one man’s decision to listen to his servant led to both physical and spiritual healing. --- Naaman: A Mighty Warrior with a Hidden Weakness Naaman was the commander of the army of the king of Aram (modern-day Syria). He was a respected, decorated soldier, and the Bible describes him as a “great man in the sight of his master and highly regarded” (2 Kings 5:1). But despite all his victories, Naaman suffered from leprosy—a slow, isolating disease that no amount of power or status could cure. When a young Isra...
