The Head Pastor of Potter’s family Chapel, Prophet Alex Armstrong, has urged all Christians to be watchful in their walk with Christ so they do not fall prey to the schemes of the evil one.
He gave this admonition during a sermon at Mercy Temple branch, Sampah Valley of the church.
Preaching on spiritual vigilance, Prophet Armstrong warned that “we must be careful in our actions, speech and doctrine so that we do not lose what we have worked for, but rather receive our full reward.”
Using the cautionary tale of Samson from Judges 16, the Head Pastor illustrated how even the strongest can fall when they let down their guard. “Samson lost everything. his strength, his vision, and His freedom because he failed to watch himself,” he said.
He further warned of modern day deception, referencing 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, where Satan is described as disguising himself as “an angel of light.” “The enemy doesn’t always come looking dangerous,” he cautioned. “He often comes looking like everything you’ve ever wanted. That’s why we need constant discernment.”
According to him, any Christian who does not open his or her eyes very well and be watchful, might fall prey to this deception and lose his or her possessions in Christ. “The enemy doesn’t come looking dangerous,” he cautioned. “He comes as everything you’ve ever wanted. That’s why we need constant discernment.”
Prophet Armstrong stressed that Christians who are not alert risk losing their spiritual inheritance. He added that failure to stay watchful can lead to a loss of one’s testimony, which negatively impacts the Church’s Possessing the Nations agenda.
Ending his message, Prophet Armstrong reminded believers of their divine helper in this spiritual battle, who is the Holy Spirit, adding that, when believers yield to Him daily, He gives them the strength to overcome every trap and temptation.
