You can put this after your org-agenda-files configuration in your 
.emacs:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (appt-activate 1)
  (org-agenda-to-appt)
#+END_SRC

Then you will be reminded of things in your org files, before the 
appointment time (I think 12 min is the default).

You could also add this, so that the appointments refresh and new 
get added every time that you call the agenda:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (add-hook 'org-agenda-finalize-hook (lambda () 
  (org-agenda-to-appt t)))
#+END_SRC

Best,
