There are words that we hear and things that happen that shake us to our core. They can change the direction we are going in completely. These alerts are often for our good. For example, when a doctor tells a person what foods to limit and encourages them to exercise because their health is at risk, they listen. They take that as a wake-up call for their physical body.
Likewise, the word of God gives us wake-up calls. The Lord Jesus said:
“…for without Me you can do nothing.” John 15:5
“…Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.” John 6:53
We must consider these words. Not only this, but we must fight to go after them. We wouldn’t ignore an alert for our physical bodies. How much more important is our soul?
The Lord Jesus left these words, not that we may read them on a page, but that we would practice them and seek His Spirit. Because what good is the wake-up call if we do not wake up? This is your opportunity.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
