Who Is Standing in the Gap for You? | Intercession Sermon by Pastor Eric Ssempa | NPC

Welcome to the Luganda Service at Namugongo Pentecostal Church (NPC)! This week, Pastor Eric Ssempa brings a timely and spirit-filled sermon on Intercession — the sacred act of standing in the gap for others before God. 👉 What is intercession? It is more than just prayer — it is pleading the cause of another, carrying burdens that are not your own, and partnering with God to bring His will to pass on earth. From Abraham to Moses, from Esther to Jesus Himself, the Bible is filled with examples of intercessors who changed history on their knees. In this message, Pastor Eric challenges us to move beyond selfish prayer and embrace the high calling of interceding for our families, our nation, our leaders, and even our enemies. 📖 Key Scriptures: Ezekiel 22:30 – "I sought for a man to stand in the gap..." Romans 8:26–27 – The Spirit intercedes for us 1 Timothy 2:1–2 – Pray for kings and all in authority Hebrews 7:25 – Jesus lives to make intercession for us Genesis 18:22–33 – Abraham intercedes for Sodom 🔑 Key Takeaways: Intercession is a priestly duty — we are a kingdom of priests. You don't need to be perfect to intercede — you just need to be available. The Holy Spirit helps us when we don't know what to pray. Jesus is our ultimate intercessor — He ever lives to pray for us. Your intercession can save a city, a nation, or a soul. 🙏 Prayer of Intercession: "Father, raise up intercessors who will stand in the gap for our families, our church, our nation, and the world. Teach us to pray with passion, persistence, and faith. May we never grow weary in praying for others. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen." 📢 Join Us Live: Want to experience worship and intercession in person? Join us at Namugongo Pentecostal Church (NPC) , Namugongo, Uganda.
