1 Thessalonians 5
from Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike Hosted by Murphy Eyenike
"For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don't belong to darkness and night. So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded. Night is the time when people sleep and drinkers get drunk. But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armour of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation." 1Thess 5:5-8. I wish I could say this morning that everyone reading this will not be caught unaware by the day of the Lord's coming. The more likely outcome is that some will. If we follow Jesus' measurement and mark, it is likely 50% will. My charge this morning is that we are children of the light, we must consciously walk in and live in the light. We must stay alert and clearheaded. Remembering to consciously put on our armour everyday; the helmet of salvation, breastplate of righteousness, belt of truth, sandals of preaching the gospel, shield of faith and the sword of the Spirit. This is not the time to play around with your salvation, the day of the Lord's coming will come unexpectedly like a thief in the night. I pray we will all make it in Jesus name. Let pray Paul's final prayer here for ourselves; "now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again." 1Thess 5:23. Be prepared!
