|                         WATCHMAN CATHOLIC CHARISMATIC RENEWAL MOVEMENT

                                    WEEKLY PRAYER/FASTING PICNIC  JULY WK 28

 

Theme:            THE WICKED PLANS FOR LONG BUT THE LORD BURST THE

EXECUTION IN A MOMENT.

Text:               Acts 23:12-26, 31-35

 

At Jerusalem, over 40 misguided religious fanatics took an oath to fast (dry) until they had killed Paul. They conspired with the senior ministers (chief priests) and elders to hatch the plot. But the Omnipresent God ensured that the secret leaked through Paul’s nephew; and the programme/plan was scuttled. Testimonies abound in the Holy Scripture of wicked men designing programmes to deal with God’s servants or people only to meet a brick wall or even death. People like Haman (Esth.7:10), Sennacherib (Isa.37:21-28, 34-38), Presidents and Princes of Medes (Dan.6:3-8,13-24), Herod the Great (Matt.2:1-15), Herod Agrippa I (Acts 12:1-8,19-23) will attest to this.

 

Today, wickedness thrives all around the nation and the wicked wax gross as the green bay tree (Ps.37:34-36). However, the Lord would have His people know that He is still in control, and has not yet ceded the earth or church to Satan. (Ps.24:1; Matt.28:18). He has drawn His programme for the end time and all evils of the wicked were accommodated in His master plan; and were permitted for the purpose of building up the saints. (Rom.8:26). And the Lord will step in at His time to stop the evil.

 

As we prayerfully respond to these challenges, we build up Christian qualities and become better vessels (Rom.5:1-3).

 

So we shall rise to pray concerning the challenges of this time.
