SLUMBER NOT

DATE: OCTOBER 10, 2021

TOPIC: SLUMBER NOT  

BIBLE TEXT: Proverbs 6vs4 – Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. 
Psalms 132vs4 – I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids.


We serve our God who neither sleeps nor slumbers – psalms 121v3-4. God is watchful and expects us also to be watchful and not to slumber in the position he has placed us by his grace. Because we are all made in His image and likeness, so we have dominion over weakness. For His word says let the weak say, I am strong – Joel 3vs10. For we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Beloved, rise up in faith and slumber not, for it is dangerous. We see what happens while men slept (slumbered), his enemy came and sowed tares (damaging weed) among the wheat and went his way.

Because of certain carelessness the enemy sows seeds that can damage our progress and walks away freely. We need to awake up and grow spiritually by studying daily the word of God and praying without ceasing scripturally with devoted obedience. To slumber in this context; is to be careless, ignorant and inactive at the place of duty concerning our destiny. Life is not a ground for jesters or playing around. It is a place to take the bull by the horn (the violent in the spirit always takes it by force).

Rise up dear soldier and child of God and handle the issues of your destiny with the already given victory we have in Christ Jesus. Tomorrow may be too late, wake up and take action now.


Prayer: Heavenly Father, I receive the strength to stay watchful and prayerful in Jesus name.

Insight: Be watchful and vigilant soldier.

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

NOW

Date 📅 18th October, 2022 Topic NOW Living Scripture Hebrews 11:1,7 KJV Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. [7] By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. Now we begin to walk in the ways of faith and truth as our fathers in faith and mighty men of old and just as they witnessed the glory of God first hand so shall we if we act now. The perfect example is Noah and the ark, a man of grace and wisdom. The world was stained with disobedience, sinful ways and thick immoralities. And God decided to wipe the inhabitants of the earth with a great flood such as have never been before and even after. The heavens where ready to open the flood gates and the earth to let out her waters. When God spoke to Noah, he acted immediately and finished the ark on time and he eva...
