BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Malachi 14; Revelation 22
MESSAGE:
The devil and his agents don’t sleep. In fact, they target the times when men are asleep to sow tares. By sleep, I mean spiritual sleep. That period when you are relaxed and ignoring the need to pray is the time that the devil has been waiting for to attack. That is why you must pray without ceasing.
Oh how I wish all teenagers pray! The devil is actively destroying teenagers in this generation, and that’s because this generation is asleep. You need to wake up a and pray! Prayer should be your lifestyle. Before you embark on any assignment, pray, and when you are done, you should pray. Before you make any decision, pray. Just make it a point of duty to always pray.
ACTION POINT:
Pray Always.
Hymn 16:
- Christian, seek not yet repose
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
Thou art in the midst of foes:
Watch and pray. - Principalities and power
Mustering their unseen array
Wait for the unguarded hours:
Watch and pray - Gird the heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:
Watch and pray. - Hear the victors who o’ercame,
Still they mark each warrior’s way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray. - Hear, above all, hear thy Lord,
Him thou loves to obey;
Hide within thy heart His word:
Watch and pray. - Watch, as if on that alone
Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:
Watch and pray.
