FAVOUR and peace be multiplied to you, Cherished one. Yesterday, we learned that we are empowered to watch and pray. Yes, this is the truth of the matter. No one born of God’s Spirit lacks the ability do the things God requires. God doesn’t tell you to sow fruits without first giving seeds. Apostle Paul unveils in Philippians 2:13: For it is God who WORKS IN YOU both to WILL and to DO for His good pleasure. You cannot will or do God’s good pleasure if He doesn’t empower you by His Spirit.
When Peter who could not wake up and pray during Jesus’ time was empowered by the Holy Spirit, He said “But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.” (Acts 6:4). Beloved, the indwelling and empowerment of the Holy Spirit always change the narrative of your life. Henceforth, you don’t see prayer and watching as a burden anymore but as a lifestyle of a Kingdom citizen.
Knowing this truth, living the word of God, practising the teachings of Christ including watching and praying should not be a burden to you (but a lifestyle); because you can now do them as enabled or energized by the Spirit of God within you. Connect to this revelation by faith and start watching, praying and living the word of His grace at all times. Relying on the power of the Holy Spirit may not always make it easy but will make it possible to practise or live the teachings of Christ. The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always. Amen!

By the power of Your Spirit, I naturally practise the teachings of Christ without seeing them as a burden but my lifestyle in the Name of my Lord Jesus Christ. Amen !
