Topic: The Joy of Intercessory Prayer [23/03/2017]
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. Luke 15:7. Read: Isa 61:1-3
There can never be a greater joy than the one intercessors enjoy. When you intercede on behalf of someone pertaining a particular challenge and seeing the person freed from that challenge suddenly springs joy in your heart. When you intercede for a sinner and not too long, the sinner gives his/her life to Jesus, there could not be joy measurable to that. Jesus said, when a sinner repent of his/her sin, there is joy in heaven and if you are the one that turns that sinner to Christ (by the grace of God), heaven will always return that joy to you in multiple folds. As children of God, the Ministry Christ has left us is that of reconciliation - reconciling the dying and lost world back to God the Father. 2 Cor 5:18-20.
As children of God who walk according to the dictates of the Spirit of God, we are to be zealous for every good works. We are to be concerned with the freedom of men. Men that the devil have held captive to do his will. 2 Tim 2:26. The best way to keep the joy of Salvation is to give it out to those (sinners) that need it. The reward of intercessors is joy unspeakable full of glory. 1 Pet 1:8.

* Father, as I intercede for others and they get their results, let me not be left behind, let my joy be full in Jesus name
