BE WATCHFUL AS THE LORD COMES 2
“Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”
1 Thessalonians 5:6 (KJV)
The apostle Paul wasn’t admonishing the brethren to be watchful because the coming of the Lord was going to be a day of terror for the believers.
As a believer you are in the light and not in darkness.
This is your advantage.
Which means every believer must look forward to the coming of the Lord with great joy and hope.
To be “watchful” is from the Greek word, “grēgoreō”, “must stay alert.” To “not sleep”. It can also mean to stay awake and be vigilant.
This is mainly about your spiritual awareness and consciousness. To be this alert or vigilant also means to remain active and not be complacent.
To be watchful is not about looking on without doing nothing till the Lord comes.
The proof that you are watchful involves being actively engaged in the pursuit of God’s purpose and living a life which causes men to glorify Him.
To sleep is to be in active in the things of the Spirit, to be complacent and uninterested in the things of Christ. As believers in Christ, we have a mandate to live a life of purpose and with a sense of urgency.
Beloved in Christ, the key items which distinguish you from the children of darkness includes:
– The New life you have received in Christ
– Your identity in Christ
– Your position in Christ
– Your disposition in Christ
And that is not all.
The practical living of the life you have received also distinguishes you from the people of the world.
As children of light, how we live is what makes people see the light we carry.
As part of we living the faith life, our demonstration of readiness for the day of the coming of Lord, distincts us from the world. In contrasts with those who belong to the night and darkness, Paul the apostle urges believers through his epistle to live in a manner that reflects their true identity.
You don’t have to be spiritually asleep like the rest of the world who are in darkness.
Utilize every resource God has given you to execute His purpose for you here on Earth. Make everyday count, spread the goodnews of Jesus to all men.
Get men saved and transformed through the knowledge of Christ.
Intercede in prayer for the salvation of souls.
Jesus is coming and get busy for His coming. Don’t fold your arms, make a difference in someone’s life.
Hallelujah!

Matthew 12: 30 This is war and there is no neutral ground, if you are not on my side you are the enemy. If you are not helpingh, you are making things worse.
Those of who Love Jesus’ appearance are never sleeping..they will walk in the light because they are children of the light. Shining forth the torch of God in a crooked and perversed generation.
For us being instructed not sleep means two main things..being involved in the Lord’s assignment through the Holy Spirit and being the reason the Lord will be glorified. The reverse is also true for sleeping…it means we can be born again and still be sleeping not being concerned of the things of Jesus Christ.
What distincts the believer from the world is the life of God, your identity in Christ, your position in Christ and your disposition in Christ. We are not of the world to not push the agenda of God.
Thank you Christ Jesus
I get busy with the lord’s assignment

I live a life of purpose
I utilize every resource God has given me to execute His purpose for me on Earth.
I make everyday count as I spread the good news of Jesus to all men
I don’t fold my arms
I get busy for the coming of my Lord
Oh thank you Jesus. The gospel must reach men
Hallelujah
I am of the light and I grow and live daily in this consciousness.
I am not complacent when it comes to the work of God and his coming in the name of Jesus.

I make a difference in the lives of many in the name of Jesus.

Through me many that are in darkness are turning to the Lord that their hearts will be illuminated.
The great commission is the most important of Gods plan because he desires that all men be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth and finally be an expression of God
That is why he has tasked us to go out because he has already taken care of what impedes our way because he has worked all abilities into us that we too have the power to transform many by the Word of God
I take this work serious for that is what will bring true satisfaction to lives
I don’t sleep.
I am awake !
