Watch & Pray_8

<p><strong>DVD With Niyi Adekunle</strong></p> <p><strong>Monday 31st May</strong></p> <p>Watch and Pray 8</p> <p>As important as it is that we watch while praying, it is much more than just looking around at anything that catches our attention. There is a way God expects us to watch.</p> <p>Luke 17:20 (NLT), <em><strong>20&nbsp;One day the Pharisees asked Jesus, “When will the Kingdom of God come?” Jesus replied,&nbsp;“The Kingdom of God can’t be detected by visible signs.</strong></em></p> <p>Another translation says the kingdom of God does not come by physical observation.</p> <p>Jesus established here that the watching that matters in the Kingdom of God is beyond physical observation. The primary way with which we watch is by the Word of God and the help of the Spirit. This watching we are talking about starts from the spirit before it’s manifested in the physical. If we watch things only in the physical, Satan will take advantage of us. The bible says those that are led by the Spirit are the Sons of God. The place to begin our watch is in the spirit by the Word.</p> <p>In Romans 4, from Abraham's experience, he did not watch his own old body or Sarah's dead womb. He strictly focused on the promise of God’s Word and God transformed Abraham's hopeless situation into a living testimony.</p> <p>2King 3:17 (NLT), <em><strong>17&nbsp;You will see neither wind nor rain, says the&nbsp;Lord, but this valley will be filled with water...</strong></em></p> <p>God is saying to you that as you commit to watch in the spirit through the word, you may not have any physical evidence of victory, but once you have the evidence of faith in God’s Word, victory is sure. It’s time to settle down and begin to learn and relearn how to watch by the Word. Elisha’s servant panicked because he was watching from the physical but the moment God opened his eyes in response to Elisha’s prayer, what he saw as he watched made him completely unperturbed by the problems that seemed to surround them in the physical.</p> <p>May God touch your hear
