READ: Luke 21:8
8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

Luke 21:34-36

  1. And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
  2. For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
  3. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 17-18, Acts 19:1-41

MESSAGE:

To watch and pray means to be awake and on guard so that sin will not catch one unawares. It also means that one has a constant connection with God. As God’s child, you must be watchful and prayerful because Satan roams to and fro as a roaring lion looking for whom to eat as a meal; he looks out for opportunities to strike God’s children. His whole desire is to turn you away from following and obeying God. Therefore, you must not let down your guard.

Satan executes his plans mainly by distracting you. For instance, if you have many friends who don’t understand spiritual matters – they wonder why you fast, pay tithe and pray constantly, you would need to be watchful to know, then stand if you don’t dissociate yourself from them. Before long, you would start questioning your beliefs and eventually, maybe even join them. Be watchful!

When you watch and pray, you will receive the grace to resist the devil, fix your gaze on Jesus and live a victorious life. Its only by the power of God you can overcome and I pray that you will overcome always in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

Father, please strengthen my inner man to watch and pray.

HYMNS: CHRISTIAN SEEK NOT YET REPOSE

  1. Christian, seek not yet repose,
    Hear thy guardian angel say,
    “Thou art in the midst of foes:
    Watch and pray!
  2. Principalities and powers,
    Mustering their unseen array,
    Wait for thine unguarded hours:
    “Watch and pray!
  3. Gird thy heavenly armour on,
    Wear it every night and day,
    Ambushed lies the evil one:
    “Watch and pray!
  4. Hear the victors who overcame;
    Still they mark each warrior’s way,
    All with one sweet voice exclaim,
    “Watch and pray!
  5. Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
    Him thou lovest to obey;
    Hide within thy heart His word,
    “Watch and pray!
  6. Watch, as if on that alone
    Hung the issue of the day;
    Pray, that help may be sent down:
    “Watch and pray!”
