WATCH! – Monday May 18th 2020
Memorise: Now the Spirit
speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. 1st
Timothy 4:1
Read: Mark 13:31-37 (KJV)
31 Heaven and earth
shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32 But of that day and
that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the
Son, but the Father.
33 Take ye heed, watch
and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34 For the Son of Man is
as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his
servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35 Watch ye therefore:
for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight,
or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36 Lest coming suddenly
he find you sleeping.
Bible in one year: 2nd

Message:-

Jesus
is coming soon and although no one knows exactly when (Mark 13:32-33), we know
some significant occurrences will mark the end of this age (2nd
Timothy 3:1-3). Some of them are already happening and this is why we must
watch out for:
v Backsliding: Many
men of God are parting from the faith. Even some Christian denominations that
started on a Bible-based foundation have derailed. They are succumbing to the
pressure from the ‘digital’ world. While about a hundred years ago, it would
have been unthinkable for any church to debate whether homosexuality should be
considered, today it is a bone of contention. Seduction, fornication, adultery,
divorce and other abominable practices are now commonplace not only in vestries
but also on the altars. Watch and determine not to look back.

v Wiles of the devil:
According to 1st Peter 5:8, the devil is cunning and he wants to
deceive unsuspecting and careless believers. He keeps telling the Church, “its
is not too bad”; but what is not too bad is still bad. Watch and don’t fall for
the trap.
v Temptation: There will be
temptations and we have to watch and pray to avoid them (Matthew 26:41) While
the spirit is willing, the flesh is weak. You must be armed with the word
because it is the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17).

v False teachers: Not
all teachers and prophets who call the name of Christ are genuine (Acts
20:29-30). Watch out as hypocrites have crept into the Church like Simon the
sorcerer in Acts 8:13-21.
v The second coming of the Lord: This
is the most important of all. 1st Thessalonians 5:6-8 admonishes us
not to sleep. Like the wise virgins, we must be awake and prepared.
Perilous
times are here; watch, so you will not be a victim of the dangers of the end
time.
Prayer Point
Father, deliver me in the
perilous times. See me through to the end, in the mighty name of Jesus.
