24/7 DOXA Content, 28th October-STAY AWAKE AND BE SOBER
_____________________________________
FOCAL TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 5 vs 6►► “Therefore, let’s not fall asleep like others do, but let’s stay awake and be sober.”~|ISV|______________________________________
GRACIOUS greetings, Cherished one. Concerning the Lord’s coming, we have been admonished to be ready at anytime so that the Day wouldn’t overtake us as a thief. This is because we are _” children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or darkness” (1Thess 5:5)._ *Therefore, children of the light ought to conduct, behave and live as such.* Light often represents holy enlightenment of your recreated human spirit. In other words, being a child of the light means you have had a glorious encounter with the Light of the world, Jesus Christ; and His Spirit is living in you causing you to walk like Him.
*Knowing your identity in Christ empowers you to live that identity. You don’t just know your identity to talk or shout about it.* This is why our focal text admonishes us to stay awake and be sober. Staying awake is a sign of activeness, not dormancy or sleepiness. It involves being watchful and vigilant or staying focus on the right path in the midst of a perverse generation. We should continuously be aroused and stirred up from sleep, awake and be alertly watchful.
Being sober also implies being temperate, disciplined or circumspect in all your dealings as a child of God. Anyone who refuses to stay awake and sober is said to be sleeping. Stay awake by practising God’s word. Stay awake by fellowshipping with His Spirit. Let’s boldly denounce any “sleepiness and dormant” attitudes which fight against being watchful and sober. The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always.
