Topic: Understanding The Last Days (Part 2)
Text: 1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.
Last week, we considered this same verse which is an admonishion about how to live in this times. We really need to pay attention to the dictates of the last days as we approach the appearance of our Lord in the sky.
This week, we will look at the second part of that verse which says we should be watchful in prayers. The Jews have times that they pray and they call it 'watches'. They have 8 watches that runs round the clock. Each watch is 3 hours and the first watch starts by 6pm.
The Jews have this custom of praying always as they believe in communicating with God often. This is the same custom that Apostle Peter is selling to us in this verse. He is admonishing us to always pray in this last days.
The essence of prayers in this times cannot be overemphasized. We must learn to always be connected to God so as to know what He is saying per time and what we ought to do per time. We must create time to pray in the Spirit every day.
I urge you to always stay awake and alert in prayers at this time so as not to fall into the diverse temptation that are at our doorsteps.
Have a great week
The Coming Of The Lord Is Near
