In 1st Thessalonians chapter 5 Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT:
5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.
9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
Those who are pursuing The Way are among the sons of light for they seek wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to walk in the light and be led by THE SPIRIT. We all understand the need to have a revelation of Agape Love in order to fulfill our calling. We also know the necessity of walking in faith and renewing our minds with the hope of salvation. The spiritual is what moves us to focus on the eternal rather than the temporal of this world.
FATHER has called us to remain sober, in full control of our faculties so that we are not caught unprepared for whatever is placed in our paths. The center of our preparedness must be based on Love and we must not let anything dim the light found in us. This light grows brighter as our Love takes over all aspects of our life. When we are seen as pure Love then we will emit the pure light of Christ in us.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Corinthians chapter 4:
3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,
4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.
6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
Once again we are reminded of the ministry of The Holy Spirit whereby we glorify Christ. Our light is not determined by the level of blindness of those who do not believe but by the Love we walk in as we minister Christ to a dying world. There will be days when it seems that there is a resistance to our message but we must not let the temporal define our determination to spread the Gospel of Love. We are vessels formed by FATHER’S Hands and HE knows exactly how to mold us for HIS use on a day-to-day basis. If today seems a little “dry” then simply minister to FATHER by speaking forth the testimonies of deliverance and healing HE has done in your life. Sing forth HIS praises which will remove any hindrance you might be experiencing.
Go spread some Love by speaking forth a kind word or other act of Love. Our calling does not depend on how we feel or what we confront any particular day. We must simply press on in faith that FATHER will intervene whenever necessary. Our hope is renewed as we break through the resistance and gain victory over the circumstances which would attempt to derail our mandate. Let the day grow brighter as we enter the situation FATHER has placed us in… we are Sons of the day.
