Be Watchful In All Things!

IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: Be Watchful In All Things!

In this morning i will point out the exhortation the Bible gives us to watch. We cannot ever have a vision if we do not have a vision. Our vision and watchfulness must be with theLord. Unless the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalm 127:1

Gods Word often refers to the Christian experience as a walk, seldom as a run, and never as a mad dash. We can walk much better if we have our eyes open and have them
upon Him, our Lord.

(2 Tim 4:5 KJV) But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

I. Paul told Timothy a number of times to be watchful, here He says to watch all things.

A. Jesus said to Watch and Pray.
(Mat 26:41 KJV) Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

A. What are we to watch for when we pray?

1. The works of the flesh that keeps us from praying.
2. Are we praying the prayer of faith?
3. Are we praying according to the Will of God? The Word is His Will.
4. Are we mindful of those in need around us?
5. Do we lift us our eyes and see the ripen harvest field around us?

a. I believe the reason Jesus said to look on the fields and pray was so that He could say to us "Go Ye" when we pray.
(Mark 13:33 KJV) Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

"Excuses are the cradle ... that Satan rocks men off to sleep in". D.L. Moody

II. We need to watch our desires.

We should be like
(1 Pet 2:2 KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

A: Desire Word of God.
1. God watches over His Word.
(Jer 1:12 KJV) Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.

a. To Understand God we must know the Word of God.
1. We then can trust Gods Word. . . . CONTINUE TOMORROW

LET US PRAY
FATHER IN JESUS NAME, MAKE US A WISE 5VIRGIN WHO CARRY EXTRA OIL, TEACH US TO ALWAYS WATCH AND PRAY IN JESUS NAME

GOOD MORNING FRIEND
