Rom 13:11
And do this because we know the time, that it is already the hour for us to awake from sleep, for our salvation is now nearer than when we became believers. NET
For a long time, as a christian reading the account of the lives of the founding apostles of our faith, I wondered why they were so un-materialistic and did not care much about physical and material comfort even though they could have accumulated so much wealth because of the influence, position and power they had in the early church. I found out it was because they knew something I did not know then, they knew that there was a ‘physical’ kingdom coming to take over the kingdoms of this world and they who are Christ's chosen will rule and reign with Him forever. They saw the first fruits of these things and were patient as they waited for the redemption of their bodies which will reveal their true nature as sons of God( see Rom 8:23) reigning and ruling the earth with Christ.
This is a wake up call to sleeping giants who have forgotten that they already have all things in Christ. Take your place as a son in God's kingdom. Don't be deceived into serving mammon rather than serving Jesus.
Go into today determined to let your light shine so bright that the devil's eyes will be blinded during your day. Let the love, grace and calling of God determine the path your life takes.
Prayer: Thank you heavenly father because you have given me the kingdom. Thank you father because I am fulfilling purpose and destiny in you. Please deliver me from deceptions and distractions, in Jesus name I pray. Amen
