Encounter # 53:

“Take Heed, Watch & Pray”

Read: Mark 13:24-37

Jesus talks about “those days” which are in the future. The same events are recorded in Revelation 6:12-17. The “Son of Man,” which is Jesus will be coming back in the clouds. Jesus is coming back in “great power and glory.” When these signs of the times begin to happen, we know that the return of Jesus is near. Jesus' words are “settled in heaven.”

Even though we do not know the exact time of Jesus' return, we know it is certain. Therefore, we need to be awake, be on guard, be alert and take heed. We are to watching for His return. There is an appointed time for His coming back. In the meantime, Jesus gave us authority. We are to be doing His work. As Christians we are the porters. We are the gate-keepers. We are to watch our own relationship with Jesus and make sure others are preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We are to be in prayer. Be in contact with the Lord at all times. We need to communicate with Him. Walk in the authority Jesus has given you. Receive His anointing to fulfil His will.

Prayer: Dear Father, help me to be ready for Jesus' return. Grant me the strength and anointing to fulfil Your will and work. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Application: Be on the alert and be ready to let others know of Jesus' return. Examine your heart and allow the Holy Spirit to show you what needs to be done.

Encounter Jesus: Receive the anointing to fulfil God's will in your life. Jesus will give you the words to speak. Acknowledge His Presence and Power.
