FAITH CAPSULE: All believers should watch and pray.

1 Kings 18

Another order of God that is His direction, directive, and demand from all not to be a waste in living life is the word of Jesus that says, “WATCH AND PRAY.”
There is no place where Jesus demand from all to pray but only demands from all to “WATCH AND PRAY.”
Watch and pray is the order of God, the command of God.
A believer praying without watching or watching without praying is out of order to live in disorder.
Believers are Simple and with the character of praying but not watch as a Prudence one. 
Proverbs 14:15 describes them, “The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.”
Believer (simple) that pray but do not watch is without PRUDENCE and not in a position to be saved in troubling times. Proverbs 22:3 testifies, “A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.” 
All believers should watch and pray.
Prophet of God, Elijah, demonstrates what it means to watch and pray.
Elijah prayed and watched for the rain to fall after he had prayed to cease rain. 
Elijah watched and prayed seven times so as not to miss the move of God for an answer.
1 Kings 18:42-44 documents Elijah’s praying and watching for rain, “And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, 43 and said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing.” And seven times he said, “Go again.” Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.”
Order in the Word of Jesus repeatedly states, 
Mark 13:33, “Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.” This for all us not to sleep to miss the coming back of God.”
Mark 14:38, “Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 
The importance of praying and watching documents in Luke 21:34-36 “But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.”
1 Peter 4:7, “But the end of all things is at hand; therefore, be serious and watchful in your prayers.”

Prayer for today: 
Ask to be seeking, watching, and praying according to His word.
Ask that God will make you live in the order of His word.
