GATEKEEPERS
The Lord says, “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy….” (Ezekiel 22:30)
Intercession is prayer for others. An intercessor is one who takes the place of another or pleads another’s case. These shall be known as Gatekeepers.
Purpose:
- The aim of the ministry is to have the organisation and its members move from being a ‘people of standing’ to being a ‘people of kneeling’ through prayer that is enduring and stable which is built upon a rocklike foundation.
- An organisation of Christ’s people without an intelligent, well organised, systematic and spirt led prayer programme is simply a dying and ineffective gathering. Therefore any of the organisation’s programs, no matter how impressive, if not supported by an adequate prayer program, is doing little or no damage to satan’s kingdom.
- To move from the realm of having monologue prayers to communicative dialogue with God which produces results thus having effective prayers.
- To move from striving to bring success through human labour but to bring all the powers of heaven to the organisation’s disposal ensuring the fulfilment of the vision God has given us.
- To break satanic strongholds on the individuals and the organisation as a whole by destroying yokes such as, sin, injustice, mercilessness, oppression, evil thoughts about each other etc.
- To pray for the nations
Requirements:
- Be a born-again believer in Christ Jesus yielding to the instruction of the Holy Spirit.
- Selfless – willing to stand in the gap on behalf of others
- Not looking for recognition as it can be a thankless ministry
- Be able to keep matters confident
- Be approachable and rooted in the word with sound doctrine
- This standard of operation requires a life consistently connected with heaven
MEDIA AND MARKETING
How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:14, 17)

MINISTERS OF THE WORD
“But we will devote ourselves . . . to the ministry of the word” (Acts 6.4).
The matter of serving people with God’s word is called the ministry of the word. The ministry of the word occupies an important place in the work of God.

- Preparation is the key to success and being a competent Minister of the Word is no different. By allowing oneself the time to read and reflect upon a given passage of Scripture, a minister of the Word is opening themselves and the congregation up to the message of God within the texts.
- It is essential that before proclaiming the text before a wider audience one must complete the following steps:
- Prepare it.
- Reflect over it.
- Understand it.
- Portray it.
To read and minister well, the reader should pray and reflect carefully on God’s word. He/she should do their best to develop a warm, loving and open relationship with the Scriptures.
