Spiritual awakening is a very important aspect of our journey here on earth. You can't be sleeping when your enemies only operate at the hour of night. The evil seed of the wicked was planted at the hour of the night. You have a great destiny, but if you are not awake to watch over what God has deposited in you, the enemy will fill your life with shrubs. The time you are supposed to use to do something productive, you will be using it to remove shrubs. You are that beautiful garden that God has created, and inside of you is a good seed, but if you are not awake to watch over your garden, your adversaries, the devil, have no place to rest; he is walking to and fro the earth looking for where to sow his evil seed. If you allow your garden to be overgrown by his evil seed, nobody will see the good seed again, and what will come out of your life will be evil, but that will not be you, in Jesus' name.
Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.
Your spirit man needs to be constantly active and alert; you are the watchman over your destiny; nobody will do it for you. When the time for crucifixion came, Jesus took his disciples to a place of prayer, and they fell asleep; he even pleaded with them to watch with him for an hour, but they couldn't. That is to show that in the journey of destiny, you are to run your race by yourself. If you are spiritually asleep, your Angel will be sleepy and weak, and you will be vulnerable to every form of attack. If your spirit man is awake, you will be receiving signals from heaven constantly on what is happening and what to do, and even signals on the opportunities available around you. You will be in the right place at the right time, making the right decision, and winning always.
To be spiritually awake requires discipline and hard work. Jesus says that he saw Nathaniel; he means his spirit man was awake. When Elisha said that he saw Gehazi collecting Naaman the leper´s gift, it means his spirit man was awake (2 Kings 5:26). So, Gehazi could not take him by surprise. His error couldn't affect his ministry because he was awake to keep the evil seed away from his ministry.
You may say, but Nene, what can I do to keep my spirit man awake?
Let the Love for God and the interest of his kingdom be your priority. John 16:27 (For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God).
Prayer and fasting, the disciples of Jesus could not keep watch with him even for one hour because of the spirit of slumber; he is a robber of destiny. They could not deliver the demonic boy because they were not into fasting. Matthew 17:21 (Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting).
Matthew 26:40 (And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak).
Obedience to God and His commandment: Jesus Christ said that Father has not left him because he does things that pleases him always (John 8:29). To maintain the presence of God you need to please him, and without faith no one can please God (Hebrews 11:6), Jesus said that anyone who obey his commandment him and his father will love that person and also be with him. John 15:10 (If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you).
Friends, if you have the presence of God with you, your spirit man will be awake, and nothing will take you by surprise. You will not be a victim of a spiritual accident, in Jesus' name. Do not be deceived, you cannot enjoy divine presence if you are not a child of God; and to be a child of God, you need to Say Yes To Jesus by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus' name
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me to make me a new man/woman. Forgive me all my sins, wash me with your blood, and give me a new heart. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Now I believe that I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
NENE ISAH,
