The Christian Army Sleeps

Ephesians 5 : 14
Therefore He says:
Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.

Good Morning
Awake you who sleep. It is time for Christians around the world to stop sleeping, to stop being dead in faith, and to rise up in the light of Christ!

As I was waiting on God for a message this morning, He showed me that it is time to lift the Christians out of their sleeping places and into His light. We are in the middle of a huge spiritual war and yet the army is sleeping. The army has become unfit, they have grown complacent, and have become lazy.

What soldier is there that does not keep his body, his weapons, and his armour in peak form, so that when the enemy comes, he is able to fight with all of his power. The only soldiers that do this is those in the Christian army.

The problem with the christian army is that you have read the end of the book and know that you win the war. What you do not realise is that a war is made up of many battles. Some of these battles may be won and some may be lost. In any battle there are casualties and people who die as a result of injuries sustained.

Our christian battles are no different and any soldiers entering the battle who have not prepared themselves with the breastplate of righteousness, having girded their waist with truth, having shod their feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace, without the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the word, is at a major risk of becoming a casualty. 

Protect yourself. Prepare for battle. Start training. Dress yourself with your armour everyday. Practise and most of all keep your sword sharp. The sword, which is the word of God, must be sharpened and well used. Sadly many in the christian army, have swords that are blunt, rusty and bent out of shape. Their shields of faith have been cast aside. Get into the word and strengthen your chances of survival in the battles.

Spend time with the leader. Pray often and get into His prescence that you may know and heed His commands to you.
God Bless.
