DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 25 (MExN): The Watchmen Prayer Conference with the theme “Standing in the gap” is underway. The three day Watchmen conference is based on the biblical verse, Is 62.6 – “I have set watchmen upon thy wall.” Pastor Jean Lim, Senior Minister, Semarak Revival Centre, Malaysia, and founder Glory Prayer Place, is the speaker for the event. The event is being held at IMC Hall, Dimapur.
The speaker dwelled on the power of the word of God and prayer. God is looking for intercessors and worshippers, Pastor Lim stated and added, “They that worship God must worship Him in truth and in Spirit.”
Also, highlighting the importance of faith, Pastor Lim extracted a passage from Hebrews 11:6 where it says, “But without faith it is impossible to please Him; for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”
Stressing on the importance of listening to the word of God, Pastor Lim stated “Before you pray, you must believe that you will receive. You must have faith. Faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom 10:17).”
Further seeking to highlight ‘godlessness’, Pastor Lim extracted passages from 2 Chronicles 7:13-14, where is it written, “When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” God is looking for his people who will humble themselves and pray; who will turn from their sins, Pastor Lim stated.
Speaking on ‘prayerlessness’, Pastor Lim stated, “If you don’t spend time in prayer, if you don’t spend time with the word of God, repent. A person who does not pray is in darkness because he is disconnected from God,” she stated and adds, “When you pray, you have light, because God is light, and you are connected to God in prayer.”
The Watchmen Fellowship is an association of believers from different denominations. It was started in July 6, 2013, at Burma Camp, by a handful of believers who, after seeing many of our youth indulge in drugs and satanic worship, took up the task of being ‘watchmen’ for the society. The Watchmen Fellowship, with the mission to raise praying men and women in the community, the city, the state, to stand in the ‘gap’ and the goal to see the land transformed, is based on the Bible verse Ezekiel 22:30 – “So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land...”
