BE ALERT AND PRAY

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Matthew 26:41

Child of God be alert and pray. How can you ensure that you are alert to pray every day? Make prayer a priority and pray at the beginning of each day. When you spend time in prayer at the beginning of your day, you are all prayed up for the day and you have set the tone for the day.

When you are alert to pray every day, you can live a beautiful and glorious life. When you acknowledge God at the beginning of your day He goes ahead of you, arranges things in your favour and gives you wisdom for your day. You can expect good for the day, rejoice and be glad in it. You can boldly proclaim, “This is the day the LORD has made; I will rejoice and be glad in it.”

This is the day the LORD has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Prayer is an important spiritual exercise that some people take for granted. However, Jesus prayed a lot. A lot of things happen when you pray and you can effect changes with prayer. One of the things that happen when you pray is that you condition your spirit to receive form God.

I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am corrected. Then the LORD answered and said: Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.

Habakkuk 2:1-2

Someone who is prayerful can receive a lot from God. God talks to people who are prayerful. God talks to people who care. Another thing that happens when you pray amongst other things is that you receive strength. Therefore, be alert and pray.

But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31

Though of the day: When I am alert to pray, I can live a beautiful and a glorious life.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that I can come boldly to the throne of grace at any given time and pray, and thank You that You hear prayers, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

STRENGTHEN YOURSELF IN THE LORD

Now David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of the people was grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in the LORD his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 Things could be going wrong all around you, challenges everywhere, and negative thoughts attacking your mind even to a point of depression. Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and wallowing up in depression, stand up and strengthen yourself in the Lord. We live in the world that has challenges, Jesus said that in the world you will have tribulations, but cheer up because Jesus has overcome the world. Strengthen yourself in the Lord and be strong in the Lord and the power of His might. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Ephesians 6:10 When you are weak you cannot overcome challenges you face in life. When you are weak you cannot have the victory and take possession your inheritance. You have to be strong. Strong

WAGE WAR WITH PROPHECY

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare. 1 Timothy 1:18 If you have a prophecy spoken over your life it is time for warfare. It is time to wage war with your prophecy. Take the prophecy spoken over you and put it in your mouth. Speak the same prophecy over your life. Agree with God. Can two walk together, unless they are agreed? Amos 3:3 Speak the same things with God. That is faith, faith speaks the same things with God and we overcome by our faith. Faith will put you over and it will make you an overcomer. Use your faith to wage war. And whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that overcomes the world – our faith. 1 John 5:4 Put up a good fight and fight the good fight of faith. You have to fight in order to win. Wage war with prophecy. If there is no prophecy spoken over you, there is nothing to it. Use the Word and speak the Word over

MINISTERS OF THE GOSPEL SHOULD LIVE FROM THE GOSPEL

Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel. 1 Corinthians 9:14 Ministers of the gospel should not starve because they have a job. They have to minister to the Body of Christ and get a salary from doing so. If you are a minister of the gospel focus on your calling and God will take care of you. Jesus asked Peter if he loved Him upon Peter confirming it, He expressly told him to feed the flock. As a minister of the gospel you are called to feed and take care of the flock. When you do so, God will not have a problem paying you. A laborer is worthy of his wages! And remain in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for a laborer is worthy of his wages. Luke 10:7 As a minister, give yourself to prayer and the Word, minister to the flock and do the work of an evangelist, that means win souls. God always takes care of people who win souls. You don’t have to be poor as a minister. If you want to live in abunda
