Topic: Awakening To Purpose 12 - What Time It Is?
Text: Romans 13:11-12  
"And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light."

Reflection: 
Get up, From Slumber (vs. 11-12a)

What do Christians look like who are "asleep" in this way? I believe such "spiritual slumber" shows itself in a slackening of the intensity of their faith. They may read their Bibles, but not with much excitement or application. They don't "tremble" at God's word (Isaiah 66:2). They may pray, but not with much earnestness, or effectiveness, or expectation (James 5:16). They may go to church, but only as "spectators" and "consumers", and not as a properly working part of the Body that contributes to its growth (Ephesians 4:16). They may be around non-believers, but they're not excited enough about their own faith to present it to others as "ambassadors of Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:20). They're saved; but are just sort of taking a "spiritual siesta" all the time.

"Sleep" is the perfect word to use to describe the state of a passive, uninvolved, indifferent Christian. Great potential is there in them; but there's nothing happening.

That is why the author of Hebrews says, "You should be teachers by now, but you are not, you are dull of hearing." That is why James said, "You know, if you are not a doer of the Word of God, you have deceived yourself. You have deluded yourself. You think you know the truth. You came to church. You said you heard it, but you didn’t hear it. You were asleep." When you are asleep you are dull of hearing.

Prayer: 
Father, please awake us up from slumber and revive my soul in Jesus Name

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Friday 21st February 2025  Topic: Love, Acceptance And Forgiveness 21 - Are You Accepted 2 Text: Ephesians 4:29-30   "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption." Reflection:  Continuation From Yesterday's Devotional. If we could truly get hold of, really understand, that we are accepted, adopted, blameless, chosen, forgiven, predestined, and sealed by God’s Holy Spirit on the basis of Christ’s atoning work, we would be so busy praising God all the day long that we would find no opportunity for petty differences. God was satisfied by Christ for sin, Jesus died because I deserved to die. Jesus took my place and died for me. Scripture says that He actually became us: "He who knew no sin, was made sin for us," (2 Corinthians 5:2...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Wednesday 15th January 2025  Topic: From Darkness To Light 15 - Repentance And Faith  Text: Acts 26:18  "To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." Reflection:  Repentance and faith are fundamental to salvation, over and over in the scripture we read the word "repent" because "the kingdom of heaven is at hand", the scripture teaches that "God commandeth all men everywhere to repent" and Jesus warned us that "except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish" sin is as natural to the posterity of Adam as wallowing in the mud is natural to swine, so the word repentance is not a beloved thought for those who have beloved sins, but "without holiness no man shall see the lord." What is true repentance? In true repentanc...

Purity Foundation Daily Devotional  Tuesday 24th September 2024  Topic: Work Worthy Of The Lord 24 - A Winsome Walk 3 Text: 1 Corinthians 10:23-24   "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth." Reflection:  Trust Him only. Flee idolatry always. Reasons to limit personal freedom 10:23-11:1 1.Seek to pursue the best over the good. All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. Out of all the things that could not be labeled wrong, not all things are useful. Not all things will bring me or others of God benefit. Not all things are appropriate. Many of the things we do or choose to give our time to have not evil connections in themselves but to delegate most of our time to such things in light of the soon coming of Christ brings no eternal benefit. Paul urges us to consider the eternal benefit in the things we ...
