Be Sober And Watch Unto Prayer by REDH2: 12:38am On Dec 22, 2021
Good morning Beloved

Peace be unto you in the name of our Lord Jesus

Be sober and watch unto prayer

1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

Beloved, this is the last days and the coming of the Lord draweth near. The end of things is at hand and the Word of the Lord to you this day is that you;

1. Be sober - don't be carried away by the affairs of this world, be focused on the Lord Jesus and Heaven which is your home. Remember you are just but a traveller - a sojourner on this earth.

Don't be swayed away by the vain enjoyment, fleshly lust and pleasures of this world, forgetting that you are but a pilgrim and do not belong here. Be focused on the race set before you and run to attain Heaven by living according to the ways and standard of the Lord - in Holiness and purity of heart.

Don't attend to side distractions along the way. Be sober, be clear minded and be of a single heart and focus - to please the Lord your GOD in this journey and reign with Him in Heaven.

2. And watch unto prayer - Beloved, never relent in prayers - humble yourself before the Lord, seek for His Grace and help daily and at every moment that your strength may be renewed for the race you are on. Do not cease to pray, rather give diligent heed to prayer that you may lead a victorious life over the works of darkness.

The devil seeks to devour you and cause you to sink into sin and end in Hell but you must not give him place. Therefore watch against sin, convenience, fleshly lust, those things that are displeasing to the Lord, worldly pleasure by forsaking and fleeing from them, living Holy and consecrated to GOD, giving attention to study and meditation of His Word to do them and even to fervent prayers.

Luke 12:37a Blessed are those servants, whom the Lord when he cometh shall find watching.

Beloved, when the Master come - what will be your state? Will you still be found watching or asleep or drunken by sin, the affairs and lust of this present world? Beloved, be sober and watch unto prayer. Repent of any sin whatsoever still persistent in your life, don't postpone repentance, return in genuine repentance to your Lord while there is yet hope - the Master's coming and the end of things is near. Repent now!

Be ready at all time for His coming. Be sober and watch unto prayer so that when the Master comes, you will be found worthy to reign with Him in Heaven.

If you would harken diligently to His Word, blessed are you!

The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you. Amen.

GOD bless you.

Shalom
