Watch and Pray

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON PRAYS FOR THE PREACHERS OF THE GOSPEL

Reading: Nehemiah 4:7-9

Nehemiah 4:9 (KJV) 

Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

Great persecution comes with channelling a good cause. However, fighting back do not solve it, but escalate things. The best way to stay on purpose is to pray to God for protection and then apply the wisdom He gives you.

Nehemiah and his people realized this, so they first called on God and then focused on what was before them instead of their foes, as the keep guard. Never be misguided by the fear of persecutions; face them with prayer and wisdom.

The Gospel of Christ is the greatest thing that happened to man, and any attempt to make it known would call for the highest persecutions. Nevertheless, since the Gospel is of God and is not ours, let us hand the battle that comes with it to God through prayer. 

Do not stop at prayer, apply the wisdom of God and be guarded that they may not fall on you unaware. Watch and pray.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Omnipotent God, You have all power. We pray You, o Lord, that You protect every preacher from their persecutors and grant Your people the wisdom to be guarded in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Transformed Person Prays For The Preachers Of The Gospel

Watch And Pray

Theme for the Week: THE TRANSFORMED PERSON BUILDS UP THE WEAK IN FAITH

Reading: Matthew 26:36-41

Matthew 26:41 (NIV)
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

At a point in time, the most perfect man, Jesus Christ, became so weak that He had to pray; "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as You will" (verse 39).

This means that it does not matter how matured you are in the faith, weakness may fall on you. This human body is bound to this earth and subject to weakness, thus when you confront it with things spiritual, it wearies it down and makes it weak.

Beloved friend, keep in mind that everyone may be weak at a point in time, no matter your level of maturity. Therefore, watch and pray that weakness will not overtake you.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, how awesome and wonderful You are! Dear Lord, may we not faint in our times of weakness, in Jesus' name. Amen.
