🎤📖WORD OF HOPE FOR TODAY TUESDAY 8TH JULY, 2025
TOPIC: ENOUGH OF SPIRITUAL SLUMBERING (II)
BIBLE TEXT: ROMANS 13:11
READ BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: GENESIS 43-48, MATTHEW 15-16
"And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for is our salvation nearer than when we believed"
"Sleep" is a state of reduced mental and physical activity in which consciousness is altered. While "Slumber" is to sleep, especially lightly; doze. To be in a state of inactivity, negligence. So there is a significant difference between sleeps and slumbers; in that "sleep" is normally accompanied by dream whereas "slumber" is not accompanied by dream.
Meanwhile, it's just so dangerous to be sleeping spiritually, and or even slumbering spiritually, because to be slumbering spiritually is not awakening unto the righteousness of God, but founding oneself repeatedly doing things contrary unto the Will of GOD, which if absolute cares are not taken, may ends up such lives into great destructions (Is.52:1).
Though to sleeps naturally, is to let the mortal body takes some rest, after rigorous works, fatigues, and or stress; so the body regains enough strengths to keep it fit for further living. But shouldn't be seen as regards every effect of the things of the spirit. And peradventure spiritual sleeps be seen or spiritual slumbers be found with Christians, definitely something is wrong, that is it?
Moreover, why spiritual sleeps in the first place? Ooo! You said it's only slumbers, hmm! Don't you know both spiritual sleeps and or spiritual slumbers is at your own risk, because what actually made you slept off, and or slumbers spiritually? If not that you are much occupied or overwhelmed by different affairs of this world, and you neglected everything about God. Therefore Wake up from your slumbers beloved! (Eph.5:14).
DAILY PROFESSION:
Help me oh! Lord to be awake from all my spiritual sleeps, and rises up unto your righteousness.
