SEEK
NOT YET REPOSE
A hymn says Christians seek not yet repose, cast thy
dreams of ease away, thou art in the midst of foes, watch and pray.
Principalities and powers, mustering their unseen array, wait for thy unguarded
hours watch and pray. To repose is to lie at rest and to be at ease. The bible
says we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual
wickedness in high places. Many a time we are at ease, our adversaries are not,
they are going about seeking for whom to devour. We must rise up and wherefore
take unto us, the whole armor of GOD that we may be able to withstand in the
evil day and having done all to stand. The evil day’s cometh, the days of
battle lies ahead, we must be prepared, we are not to be weary; we are not to
be at ease. The bible says right from the days of John the Baptist until now,
the kingdom of Heaven suffered violence and violence take it by force. We are
to be aggressive, for the enemies are; we are to pray without ceasing. We are
to study to show ourselves approve unto GOD, a workman that needed not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. We are to pull down everything
that exalts itself against GOD, we are not to be lukewarm, and if we are he
will spill us out of his mouth. We are to be on fire always because the devil
is not resting.
However, the devil target our unguarded hours to strike us, the bible
says but while men slept his enemies came and sow tares among his wheat and
left. While we sleep naturally we are powerless, but a watchful and a prayerful
man is powerful both physically and spiritually. A prayerful and watchful man
is not at ease and rest, GOD will send his angels to encamp round him; the enemies
won’t even near him, because of GOD’s Angels. The bible says when our enemies
come like flood; the spirit of GOD will lift up a standard against them. The
standard only works for a watchful and prayerful man. I want you to know this;
the enemies will surely come as flood to attack, but only an alerted, a prayerful
and watchful man will they not prevail against. Be alerted! Be watchful! Be
prayerful! It is well with us…..
