Watch Duty

 

Hello and welcome to Multiply a podcast for Village Church Planters and church leaders, I am Daneille Snowden.

 My son, husband and father would tell me about times they served in the military when they had ‘watch-duty.’ They all said they had to keep a watch-out constantly with hardly any sleep. They would manage this by walking the premises and staying active.

The Word of God is alerting the church of Jesus Christ to be on watch and pray. 1 Corinthians 16:13 says “Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.”

 A spiritual watching is coupled with prayer. 

Matthew 26:41 tells us to: “Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 

When we watch in prayer, we use our minds also to study, learn, observe, analyze, and simply think. We are filled with a deep sense of understanding of current events, difficult situations in our lives and others, plus how to handle them. We will be filled with more of the Spirit inspired Word of God so much so we will be warrior servants in His Kingdom. 

This equips as ministers of the Gospel as the time of Christ return is near. 

“Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; ...” Romans 13:11 

I encourage you to be on ‘WATCH DUTY’ and be alert as you watch and pray!
