Wake Up!


Revelation 3: 1 – 2A
I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up!

Is it possible to pretend at being in love with Jesus?
What would your family, friends and co-workers say, about how strong your relationship with Jesus is?
Whether we like it or not, we all have a reputation to uphold—good or bad, and we can’t hide the truth from the people that are closest to us.

I’m pretty sure that my wife knows that I love her.
I don’t think I could pretend at that—and besides, she’d know if I was pretending.
I make it a pretty steady practice, of showing her.

Is it just me—or am I the only one who thinks a lot, about the fact that God knows every single detail about us?
He even knows if we’re just going through the motions.
Would He say that you’re alive in your faith, or dead?

Maybe on this Monday morning, we really need to wake up.
God knows full well, if we’re just playing religious church games.
As I said in yesterday’s sermon, some people spend more time playing Farmville or Candy Crush Saga, than they do in devotion to God.

When’s the last time, you spent time with God, just to enjoy the blessing of His presence?
If it’s been a while, don’t waste one more second reading this devotion.
Get alone with God right now—and tell Him that you’re sorry, and that you want to get things really real again………
