MEMORISE: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:, 1 Peter 5:8

READ: Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

MESSAGE

The devil always targets God's children; therefore, the need to be vigilant at all times cannot be overemphasized.

According to our Bible reading for today, Jesus admonished His disciples to watch and pray because He understood that watching and praying is important when it comes to preventing sin.

He spent a lifetime watching His human nature so closely that He never sinned. He knew that once He sinned, he would become vulnerable to the devil.

Many Christians spend a lot of time praying without watching. While it is good to pray, it is better to watch and pray. To be watchful is to pray constantly and avoid sin.

It also involves carefully and prayerfully selecting those you associate with and being intentional about discerning the kinds of preachers and counsel you listen to.

HYMN 55: 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 Thy Unguarded Hours:
    “Watch And Pray.”

  3. Gird Thy Heavenly Armour On;
    Wear It Every Night And Day
    Ambush’d Lies The Evil One:
    “Watch And Pray.”

  4. Hear The Victors Who O'ercame;
    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 Pra!.”

  6. Watch, As If On That Alone
    Hung The Issue Of The Day;
    Pray, That Help May Be Sent Down:
    Watch And Pray.
