Stay Awake

...but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.
Matthew 13:25 (NKJV)

The common adversary isn't dumb and naive about his ultimate agenda of stealing, killing and destroying. He chooses our most vulnerable moments, when our strength is at an all time low, when we are at our weakest. The adversary strategy is relentless, gradual and consistent. Hence we must never grow weary or go it alone because human strength is no match for this adversary but the power of the Holy Spirit that is in us.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV)

Let us be circumspect, cautious and be vigilant and never give away to sleep like others do. Our environment must not define us, but rather we must define our world according to Kingdom principles. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober (1 Thessalonians 5:6).

Be encouraged,

Afolabi
