1. Watch at the gate of Eden’s habitation
Adam and Eve should have watched, not only for themselves but for the sake of posterity coming behind them. Adam the father of all living, Eve, mother of all living. She did not watch, the serpent came in, she fell and we are still suffering the repercussions till today.
2. Watch Over Your Birthright.
It was the failure of Esau to not know that he had something precious. He ought to have known that the Birthright is valuable. Watch against the pottage of Jacob. He has been eyeing, dreaming about the Birthright for a long time, he wanted to snatch it away from Esau.
Watch over your Birthright. Do not allow the pottage of an afternoon to take it away from you.
3. Watch the eye gate of Achan.
What you see with your eyes gets connected to your heart: Is she not beautiful? Is he not handsome? Is that property not exactly what I need? Watch the eye gate of Achan against the property of Babylon.
4. Watch against the lust of Samson.
#Enquirer: Samson, where are you going? Where do you spend your leisure time?
What is your hobby?
Who are you always contacting or texting? Who are you always interacting with?
Samson, watch against the lust, the pleasure of Delilah. She has a goal, she is purposeful as an errand woman for her people, she is not befriending you for nought, she is an agent! She was sent! Watch against the lust of Samson.
5. Watch against the ambition of Absalom.
Watch against position seeking. The thoughts are not just there, Absalom, there is a personality behind it. The army of David your father is stronger, wider and greater than any one you can set up. The devil wants to get and destroy you here on earth and send you to hell. He will use anything to get at you. Watch the position seeking that makes you to always want to displace others.
6. Watch against the propensity of Solomon.
Solomon, watch that wisdom, eloquence you use in winning princesses from nation to nation that pushed you to acquire 1,000 women. None of these women had any quarrel among themselves. He was in the business of controlling his numerous wives when he was supposed to be controlling the nation under his care. Watch over the plurality of women so that when you get a promotion or attain a higher level in life, you will be careful not to fall into their traps. Watch against the temptation towards polygamy.
7. Watch against covetousness and avarice so that prosperity does not replace purity in your life. Prosperity is limited and cannot take anyone to heaven.
Genesis 3:1-3. Beware of anything that makes you to doubt the word of God, the doctrines of the Bible, your conviction, do not even allow such conversations to go on. The devil is much older than Adam and Eve. He had been Lucifer in heaven, a place more beautiful than Eden, and he lost it because he sinned, not from a temptation coming from outside but from within himself. He lost heaven and there is no redemption for him, so he would never allow any human being to get there. Never, ever get into a conversation with the devil.
If you are not going to eat it, why are you admiring it? Why are you looking at it? Why are you touching it?
vs 4. And the serpent said unto the woman, “ye shall not surely die…”
Beware of anyone who confronts and contradicts the word of God point blank. The word of God says, if you eat the fruit, you will die, but the devil said their eyes will open, that God was wrong.
Beware of anyone who is bold enough to contradict the word of God, saying nothing will happen when God says something will happen.
Beware of anyone who ascribes wrong intentions to God, who says God knows this is for your good, He knows you will get pleasure in this, that is why He is denying you of them.
Genesis 3:5.
• For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
