Hebrews 6: 11 – 12 (NKJV)
And we desire that each one of
you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end,
that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who
through faith and patience inherit the promises.
Now is the time to take the Word of God seriously, and yet
that is not the case in the lives of many people.
Many people in the church have become sluggish, some have
even fallen asleep.
God means what He says, and your opinion or my opinion is
not going to change that.
Today, I believe that God looks down upon a church that is
more than sluggish, it’s fast asleep.
Jesus is coming back soon, and yet there are people who are
totally unconcerned.
Some, once showed signs of diligence in studying God’s Word
and had even made it a priority.
The church today, should be wholly dependent upon God and
the Holy Spirit, but more and more people today are dependent upon themselves.
The church today does not need anything else, but God
Almighty on His throne.
When the study of God’s Word becomes boring, or even if the
teacher does not seem to connect anymore, the sluggish, sleeping people will
still be judged by God.
Whatever happened to sacrifice? Whatever happened to dying
to oneself? Whatever happened to hungering and thirsting after righteousness?
I’m afraid some folks have become addicted to the easy life,
and I believe that makes God very sad.
The Word says that we should NOT set our heart on the things
of this world, but the fact is, many of us have.
And one day, those worldly things are going to go up in
smoke.
I think it’s time to wake up, because those who are sluggish
and fast asleep, will not inherit the promises………
