Good Morning Sunshine! It’s Time To Wake Up!

Ephesians 5:8-11,13-16 NIV ~ “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light [9] (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) [10] and find out what pleases the Lord. [11] Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. [13] But everything exposed by the light becomes visible-and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. [14] This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” [15] Be very careful, then, how you live-not as unwise but as wise, [16] making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”

Ephesians 5, is your “Wake Up Call!” It’s time to get the sleep out of your eyes. It’s time to realize and recognize the dangerous condition in which the believers and the non-believers have been slipping into. It’s in this place that the people find themselves at a crossroad, there are so many different cultures and religions, and the nonbelievers are bringing their ideas and habits into the church and the believers are falling for it. This is a very dangerous place to be in. As a child of God, you must be alert to false beliefs infiltrating your church and be able to take a stand and pray against it. Remember, yesterday’s message, it’s not personal, it’s spiritual!

When your natural alarm clock sounds in the morning, it alerts you that it is time to awaken from your sleep! Well, your spiritual alarm clock is going off, and it’s time for you to get up! Romans 13:11 ~ “And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” Not one of knows the time or hour or how much more time we have to live. We simply do not have the time to live a life that is not established according to God’s plan and expectations!

Do you really know what time it is? And I’m not talking about chronological timing, the hour on the clock or the date on the calendar, I’m talking about Kairos timing, it’s spiritual timing! I’m talking about prophetic time, the perfect timing of God! You do know that you are currently right where God wants you, nothing has been wasted! Do you believe that we are living in the last days before Jesus Christ returns? Are you prepared to meet Him, if He would come right now? Do you ever think about how you are living? Well, it’s time for you to wake up and pay attention, you are in the last days, and you need to be alert, aware and walking into the light and be conscious of what’s going on!

God has commanded you, be committed to doing His Will, so that you will not have any regrets later! For everything that is in the dark will be exposed by the light of Jesus Christ! Use your time wisely, time that is wasted can never be reclaimed! Nobody knows when He’s coming back, it could be 5, 10, 15, or 20 minutes or it can be 5, 10, or 20 years or 10 minutes, you just need to know that He’s coming and His coming is imminent, and this should be shedding some new light on what your next move will be!

You need to listen closely and carefully at what Paul said, the “day” is at hand (13:12), and it is “The the day of the Lord, which will eradicate darkness forever” (1 Thess 5:2, 4-5)! So, as you live out your life in the coming days, think about The Light that is coming, rather than being consumed by the present darkness. With this being said, you need to wake up and live your present life in a way that will count for your future and please your Father, and not simply sleeping your life away in this your present time, because there is no time like the present time to come to Jesus! It’s time to wake up and pay attention, because the time that you have won’t be the time you have later!

Let’s Pray:
Father, Thank You for waking me up this morning out of the sweet rest that You gave me last night. Jesus, Thank You for the gift of time, You have given me one more day to serve You. I realize Jesus that the time of Your return is coming and it’s getting closer day by day. Teach me to use my time properly and to live as You have asked me to do. Thank You for the purposes and plans that You have set in place for me this day.  I will praise You all through this day, in Jesus Christ Mighty Name, Amen and Amen!

Blessings…
