INTRODUCTION:
In the last part of this series, we discovered that fear can make strength to decay and that the counsel of the enemy against us shall always come to nought, when God is on our side. Today, as we continue in this series, may the Lord blessusrichlyinJesusname.
1. WATCHFULNESS IS ESSENTIAL
While we work and pray, watchfulness is part of the work. The adversary is around the corner, not only prepared to steal, kill and destroy, he is also aggressively hunting for our souls. Neh. 4:16-19, John 10:10, I Pet. 5:8, Jer. 5:26, Ps. 38:12, Ps. 91:3, Ps. 37:32, Neh. 4:9, 7:3, Mt. 24:42, Mk. 13:33, I Cor. 16: 13, Col. 4:2, II Tim. 4:5, I Pet. 4:7, Ps. 141 :3, Rev. 3:2,16:15.
2. OUR GOD SHALL FIGHT FOR US
When our work for God is genuinely undertaken in faith and humility, in order to give glory to God and to advance His kingdom, using our weapons of the spirit, we can be assured that no matter how great the difficulties, OUR GOD WILL FIGHT FOR US. Neh. 4:20, II Cor. 10:4, Eph. 6:12, I Tim. 6:12, Ex. 14:14, Deut. 1 :30, II Chro. 13:12, II Tim. 4:7.
