*WATCHING AND PRAYING*
Mat 26:41 KJV
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Hearing a point is good if actually you heard anything. Then, what I make out of what I heard makes the difference.
"Watch" is a warning against danger and then it means a grave danger, not about my monitary investiments or death here on earth but against eternal doom. Then "pray," means make a request about your observation from what you watched.Why? So "that ye enter not into temptation:" It is a greivious error, after having all opportunities to change and make amend, you make a mess.
The reason is this:
"....the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak".
What are you watching and what are you praying? God has a single program and that is salvation through Jesus Christ.
But see,
Mat 24:44 KJV
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
The coming of the son of man is the real matter here and where does the revelation point?
What one is watching as regard this coming of the Son of Man may save or kill him.
There are many things the Bible said one should watch and the whole are very important now but the watch of ones life, the flesh is more than important. The flesh is very deceptive personality to deal with.
Life, well watched gives you admission to heaven. Even our focus on other matters makes us "unfruitful servants".
Therefore brethren, check what you are watching and start now to make your own "calling and election sure".
Many a time, some persononalities, thinks they are raisen to stardom in the knowledge of the kingdom so much that they do not have errors and it is funny and that is why the flesh is dangerous personality, hard to understand.
When the Lord brings such BIG MEN WHO ARE TOO FAMILIAR WITH GOD to the scrutiny of the word of God you see emptiness.
And all the time, you see a carnal Christian. You see a man who left the weightier matter of the kingdom and is chasing shadow and deceiving his environment.
What are you watching and what are you praying? Dates and revelations without your life first?
Many likes the dates, the revelations and motivational speeches, all are good but has no meaning compared to their lives.
1Sa 2:3 KJV
Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
Read this again and again and see if you have arrogantly locked your life from God by what you say against your neighbors. Your murmuring and bickering against the people around you. Creating the atmosphere of enmity with every unsuspecting fellow.
There is no repentance at the back of the altar, so I don't care your position man, big man what you mean to say could be all for people to say your are everything they needed? That is pride and it will only land one to arrogance pride.
Brother, God may have counted you His enemy and you don't know it.
How do you really know that you are in the book of life?
Or that you have the Holy Spirit and what does He do?
The mission of Jesus Christ is to convert me from a sinner to a saint and I am not a saint if I still habour grudges against others. A saint must have forgiven all his offences. A saint will not capitalize in another thing to mistreat another. A saint can not complain against others and refused reconciliation. A saint can never deal treacherously with others.
Therefore, if I am His, my character must have to show Him in me.
How I talk, does it despise the Cross?
You are not satisfied with me, you have some doubts and instead of bringing me to face you and iron matters out, I became your topic of casting and discourse.
And because destiny placed you in a place, you down played me as you rant very proudly about yourself? Hey! Man boasting with what he had been given?
Without the Bible I would have imaging that Just your presence alone had qualified you for heaven.
Is God succeeding with you even with all His Grace He graciously bestowed on you? But because of your arrogance and pride you are a stumbling block to many. Watch your heart.
If you are not watching your heart that is full of fat, you can never worth anything before Him. Far from gowns and earrings are they not product of the dirty heart? Fashion flows from a fatty heart.
Your charismatism had deceived many Christians and they thought that is Holiness when you are a bundle of hypocricy.
That you even fall in a program while ministrations are on and your wicked and dirty heart does not melt in the fire of the anointing is just stage managment not God.
That is even the biggest deception on my part if I don't tell you that your falling totally meant nothing other than a clown. What God simply desires is a clear sanctified man - like - Christ. Those are what you should have watched.
You are Born Again, well baptized in immersion and full of the gifts or another, is very good, but when any part of the work of the flesh is still manifest in you amongst all the seemly godliness, forget it.
The scripture is very clear about the flesh. Paul called him wrecked man.
*... the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.*
Even now your spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Its weakness is in your clever and fast manoeuvring against God. The spirit man will surrender to God to help him. Mr flesh can never submit to the spirit of God because of the arrogant pride.
1Co 2:14-16/KJV
(14) But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (15) But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. (16) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
There is a nature that may put a hold on your progress to heavenly race and that is your nature. It will stop a supposedly big guy from listening and obeying God. That is why we argue the things of the spirit because we are not the ones operating it and we maybe despising others.
Mr Flesh, Nothing is good except you are the person doing it. Very dirty.
Mr Flesh you are Hard to watch by your fellow flesh because you have passed the laws of don't steal, don't fornicate and don't kill.
I wish you can allow God to help you. He is always ready.
Another is love, Mr flesh doesn't love. He just has a form of godliness but denying the power of what real love is.
1Co 13:1 KJV
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
What I say about you, I say of myself. You have no business going to heaven with out love. Love is the life everyone sees manifesting through you. And see, it is heard to see it that it is not the product of flesh.
That's why Samuel said
1Sa 2:3 KJV
"...for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed."
You may know everything about this life and the word of God but you have no knowledge as God does. He stores your records. And He weighs all your actions.
You may intimate everybody in respecting you and you will not know that it is not you but the grace that brings the honor and you down play everyone by that grace. God weighs it. If you are also watching this aspect of you. Pray for help from above He is ready to help the helpless. You must have to show love, God is Love.
What you are reqired to do is is to turn the beam of the light backwards to yourself.
2Co 3:18 KJV
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
The Lord to use the powerful beam of His word to save you. That is the garment Joshua did not remove.
This should be our watching and praying that our life maybe sweet smelling before the Lord.
Rom 8:9 KJV
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Share this if you are not Mr Flesh.
