No Sleeping

1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

1 Thessalonians 5:1-2,6
(NKJV)

The swiftness and constant change of values in our society calls for concern. Long held biblical beliefs and the Family unit as we know it has come under intense and sustained attack on all sides. The very foundation of God's plan for man and the world have been confronted too. Seems we have a determined and relentless foe. To take our eyes off the ball will be too costly and devastating.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV)


Can we really afford indolence, care-free and a disconnected lifestyle when it comes to Kingdom agenda? We have too much at stake. Sleeping and Carousing and meddling with things with no eternal value is not an option, rather let us be sober and vigilant and walk our walk of faith with our all.

Be encouraged,
