VOT: February 20, 2023 Watch your Comfort zone “Spiritual Thermometer” In as much as we all love to be comfortable and celebrate leisure or relaxation, we must take heed and give room for spiritual sensitivity. The devil is very subtle or deceptive in his ways. When life seems to be going smoothly and there is so much to be excited about, do not lose your guard. Why is it when men sleep that the enemy sows tares? It is simply because he knows that is the weakest moment. On the other hand, God instructs us to “watch and pray” and also to be “sober and vigilant” The word watch comes before pray, which means when we are watchful we would be able to escape the snares or traps set by the adversary. The bible also warns against being at ease in Zion. The truth of the matter is that everyone still prays at the end of all happenings. Some pray early, some pray just on time and some pray later. In all, God is still merciful and makes a way of escape if we are ready to yield to the dictates and promptings of the Holy Spirit. All that is expected of us is to watch our spiritual thermometer and ensure it is stable. Unlike in the natural realm where your thermometer is not meant to read too high which leads to fever, in the spiritual realm your spiritual thermometer must be as high as possible. The higher it is, the more fire we exhibit. Keep the fire burning. Do not be discouraged or dismayed. Elijah called on the God that answers by fire when he confronted Baal and the four-fifty prophets, and the God that answers by fire gave him ultimate victory over his enemies. Fire is the language the devil understands and bows down to anytime. You can never pray too much when you are watchful, but you can easily become a prey when you are slothful. Take heed and do not yield to the deception of the enemy that you should take long breaks or vacation. Vacation is great, but avoid spiritual vacation. A quick or precise prayer is still better than failure to pray. PRAY so you not becomes PREY. Action point Revive your Prayer Altar and c
