Received

"Remember therefore how you have received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore you shall not watch, I will come on you as a thief, and you shall not know what hour I will come on you." Revelation 3:3

Remembering and meditating on the teachings that we have received and promptly seeking to live what the Holy Spirit has told us, (giving us an opportunity to correct our mistakes and thus striving to obey His teachings), is a sensible way of watching; so that we may be found active in faith. 

Oppression

"Yet he protected the needy from oppression, and cared for his families like a flock of sheep." Psalm 107:41

Oppression is the work of the devil in the lives of his children. However, deliverance is the fruit of the unconditional surrender to the Lord Jesus. For these people, the promise is to live, by faith, in the heavenly realm, safe and blessed, with their families.
