Christian, seek not yet repose,
Hear thy gracious Savior say;
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.

Gird thy heavenly armor on,
Wear it ever night and day;
Ambushed lies the evil one:

Hear the victors who o'ercame,
Still they mark each warrior's way;
All with one sweet voice exclaim,
Watch and pray.

Hung the issue of the day;
Pray, that help may be sent down:

"Ambush lies the evil one
Watch and pray"
This says it all.

Because the days are evil, we need to watch and pray always. Watching and praying with all perseverance.

How we need His help, we need pray that help may be sent down to us when courage seems small.
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Heb. 4:17) Hallelujah!
Oworonshoki, Lagos State, Nigeria
This is a reminder of 1Peter 5:8... "Be sober, be vigilant, your adversary the devil prowls like a wounded lion, seeking whom to devour"... The devil is not tired of hunting, it is therefore important to watch and pray, study the word of God and Pray fervently to escape the tricks of the devil... God bless you all.

This is a glorious call to all. The Lord told me in 2018 to tell all who are ready to hear that “The last battle shall be tough even the warriors shall run, the strength of the mighty shall fail them but those who lean on me shall sing the new song of victory for l will be their strength” will not fail in Jesus name. Amen.

A song warning Christians to be very alert day and night else we shall be like the The Five Foolish Virgins.

What a great song indeed that constantly remind us of our warfare here on earth, I pray may we not loose our guard.

It's not enough for us to adopt the name Christian, what is enough for us is to do the Master's will.
Heaven has been indescribable, because eyes has not seen, nor ear heard what the Father really has in store for us..
But whatever it is, I know it will be fantastic, for we will all see the golden streets and walk on them
As long as we keep on watching and praying for that unguarded hour.
May the good Lord bless us all.
