Stay Watchful and Ready

“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”
Matthew 24:42 (NIV)

We thank God for the precious gift of a new day. His mercy has awakened us, His grace sustains us, and His faithfulness continues to guide our steps. As we embrace this new dawn, may our hearts overflow with gratitude for the opportunity to walk with Him again. Thanks be to God for bringing us to the last day of the 11th month of the year. Let’s keep hope alive!

Jesus calls every believer to live with spiritual alertness. Life’s routines and pressures can easily dull our sensitivity, but the Lord urges us to stay awake in the Spirit. Watchfulness means keeping our hearts aligned with His Word, our minds focused on His promises, and our lives anchored in obedience. When we stay connected to Him, we are never caught unprepared.

Staying watchful also means recognizing the times and seasons. We strengthen our readiness through prayer, discernment, fellowship, and a lifestyle of holiness. As we walk closely with the Holy Spirit, our eyes remain open, our spirits remain expectant, and our faith remains firm in the certainty of Christ’s return.

Father,Help us to remain watchful, prayerful, and sensitive to Your leading. Strengthen our spirit to stay ready for Your return and grounded in Your truth. Keep our hearts focused, our faith unwavering, and our steps aligned with Your will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Take Heed, watch and pray

Mark 13:33 NKJV
[33] Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Jesus Christ continues His teachings in parables. Today’s scripture talks about Jesus’ admonition to all of us to be on our guard so that we don’t miss Heaven.

Take heed, watch and pray is a call for us to be alert spiritually for the return of the Lord. It calls for consistency in our walk with the Lord, not to go weary and take a “break” in our relationship with the Lord. The example of the 5 foolish virgins is not too far away, let us remain spiritually alert.

May the Lord help us to live completely for Christ at all times as we do not know the day and the hour that the Lord shall return for His children. May sufficient grace abound towards us in Jesus Mighty name. Amen
