WATCH OUT 2
Everyone
needs to watch out. Nobody is excluded; JESUS knew we need to watch out, that
is why he said watch and pray, so you won’t fall into temptation. Temptation
will surely come, whether you like it or not. Jesus himself was tempted while
on earth, so who are we not to be tempted. Expect temptation, because they will
surely come. We just need to watch out and pray so we don’t fall into them. By
watching we need to take cognizance of all works of flesh, things that exalt
itself against GOD in our life. And by praying we need to pray against the
author of temptation, the tempter itself the devil. The bible says resist the
devil and he shall flee. Jesus resisted him, get thee behind me devil, we need
to do likewise to overcome temptation.
Furthermore, Cain didn’t know all these, he allowed his weakness to wax
stronger, he wasn’t able to overcome temptation, rather he was conquered by it.
Temptation waited for him, he refused to watch out, he refused to obey, he
refused to pray against it. He was conquered by it and afterwards regretted.
Show me a man that prays and watch out against temptation and I will tell you
he will overcome temptation.
Genesis 4 vs. 8: one day Cain suggested to his brother, let’s go out
into the fields and while they were together there, Cain attacked and killed
his brother. His weakness(anger) was strengthen and he was conquered by
temptation killing his brother. What a tragedy! GOD knows all, he knew Cain
will be tempted to do such, that was why the warning came in vs. 7: It can be
bright with joy, if you will do what you should. Have you being conquered by
temptation? Have you allowed your weakness to overpower you? You need to go
down on your kneels and ask GOD for his mercy, rend your hearts and not your
garment. GOD is a merciful GOD, he might still show mercy; but know you can’t miss the punishment. There is always punishment
for wrong doings, obedience is better than sacrifice. Cain was banished from his ground, because he defiled the
ground with his brother’s blood. No longer did it yield crops for him, even if
he toils on I t forever. Hmm! GOD of misery
Beloved, let watch out, so we don’t fall into temptation. it is well
with us……
