MFM Daily Devotional 5 May 2025 Message

The marching order for today’s devotional is, “Be vigilant.” The time in which we are living is a time of terrible spiritual conflicts. Although we have many Christian churches, there are also many satanic churches around. Although we have an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, there are also intensive demonic activities.

Although we have abundant life, death also hovers around. We have a prosperity boom, but a lot of poverty abounds too. Many people pretend to love the Lord, but they hate Him. Therefore, all Christians should be very vigilant. Sometimes, what the world describes as a solution is just a rearrangement of problems.

A certain sister employed a nanny. Anytime the nanny was bathing the child, the child would be screaming. Even after the bath, he would continue crying for almost an hour. One day, the sister prayed and the Lord opened her eyes. She saw that the nanny was pouring spiritual pepper into the water she used to bathe the child. Then, she understood. Beloved, if you want to employ a house help, be vigilant! If you want to consume something and you don’t know where it came from, be vigilant! If you want to go somewhere, be vigilant!

To be vigilant is to watch and pray as Jesus commanded His disciples in Matthew 26:41. As Christians, we ought to watch and pray in order not to fall into temptation. The enemy of our souls is not sleeping, so we also shouldn’t be sleeping. We need to watch where we go, what we eat, what we consume on social media, what we do with our time, and so on. We must be careful to follow the leading of the Spirit in order not to fall from grace.

Vigilance is very essential in these last days. The Bible says, “Be sober.” That is, be quiet, be calculative, have a sound mind, be humble, be attentive, be careful. The Bible does not stop there. It goes further to say, “Be vigilant.” Why? The Bible says, “Because the devil, your adversary, walketh about seeking whom he may devour” (1 Peter 5:8). God calls you to vigilance today. Vigilance begins with being sober. Remember that the enemy is watching for your careless moment. May you not fall into the enemy’s trap, in Jesus’ name.
