While we sleep to the spiritual things, our true blessings are losing!

  • “How long will you sleep, O sluggard? When will you arise out of your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to lie down; so shall your poverty come as one who travels, and your need like an armed man.” (Proverbs 6.9-11).

The Holy Scripture is clear:

  • “Do not labor to be rich; cease from your own understanding. Will your eyes fly on it? And it is gone! For surely it makes wings for itself; it flies into the heavens like an eagle.” (Proverbs 23.4,5).

Furthermore:

  • And take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts are weighed down with headaches and drinking and anxieties of this life; and that day should suddenly come on you; *for it shall come as a snare* on all those sitting on the face of the whole earth.” (Luke 21:34,35).

After all:

  • “But they “who will be rich fall into temptation and a snare”, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts which plunge men into destruction and perdition.” (1Timothy 6.9).

Thus:

  • “Know well the face of your flocks; set your heart on your herds. For riches are not forever; nor the crown from generation to generation.” (Proverbs 27.23,24).

People close to you are our true boon. Therefore:

  • “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before the swine, lest haply they trample them under their feet, and turn and rend you.” (Mat 7:6)

If you don’t look for those who Jesus bestowed you, they can be devoured by Ha-Satan:

  • “Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.” (1Peter 5.8,9).

If this takes place, how will we be able to get our prayers answered? How can Jesus show up and manifest in our lives? After all:

  • “Truly I say to you, Whatever you shall bind on earth shall occur, having been bound in Heaven; and whatever you shall loose on earth shall occur, having been loosed in Heaven. Again I say to you that if two of you shall agree on earth as regarding anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by My Father in Heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.” (Matthew 18.18-20).

Have a splendid day getting rid of all sloth in regard to Jesus and His Kingdom.
