THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: People are always taken by surprise by the enemy when they sleep instead of praying.

Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2024 MESSAGE:

Being wakeful in prayer is a vital necessity, especially in this challenging end time. The prayer watch tower is where surprise attacks from the enemy are averted. Prayer prevents a person from being caught off guard by the enemy.

Look again at Matthew 13:25 says: “But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.” People are often taken by surprise by the enemy when they sleep instead of praying.

It is very important to understand that life is not a playground; life is a battlefield. Life is not funfair but warfare. Whether you are interested in the battle or not, life remains a battlefield.

Therefore, it is crucial to be wakeful in prayer to avert surprise attacks from he enemy.
Some time ago, a sister testified in our church. She was led to pray against the spirit of death, and she prayed. After praying, she boarded a car to a destination, and suddenly, someone entered the car and forcefully took hold of the steering wheel. This person was likely a serial killer, a suicide bomber, or a ritual killer. But because this sister had prayed earlier, that attack was thwarted.

The truth is, prayer does not only nullify the surprise attacks of the devil; it also allows you to go ahead of the devil. There could have been many people who entered such vehicles and never came out alive because no one prayed.

My counsel to you is, always remain alert at the place of prayer. Remain awake and watchful on your prayer tower. Jesus says, “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak” (Matthew 26:41).

Let your spirit be willing and your flesh be ready to pray always. Refuse to allow the weakness of your flesh stop you from praying. Do not allow the devil to take you by surprise; take the devil by surprise through prayer.

Remember this: People are always taken by surprise by the enemy when they sleep instead of praying.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Avoid the sleepy and prayerless lifestyle. Attack every form of weakness in prayer.
2. Remain awake, watchful and prayerful on your prayer watchtower.

PRAYER: Father, I ask that You set my prayer life on fire. Deliver me from every form of lukewarmness in prayer, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
