All the sailors were afraid and each cried out to his own god. And they threw the cargo into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone below deck, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
Jonah 1:5 (NKJV)
When we take a back seat and go on vacation on Kingdom work, we not only do ourselves a great disservice, but we also put folks around us in jeopardy,unnecessary hardship and confusion. The called cannot and must not act like the 'uncalled'. The mission for everyone is different likewise we must come head-on with our purpose mission for every call in life has a timing dimension to it.
Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thessalonian 5:6 (NKJV)
Let us awake from scheduling kingdom work and mission according to our timing. We will spare innocent souls around us pain and anguish if we get about our mission in Him. Our life is a life redeemed for dedication to God’s work and glory; let’s pray for strength to fulfill our calling and mission. Sleeping on the mission is dangerous, the stakes for our lives are high, let’s awake to His righteousness and be about kingdom business.
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
