Wake Up Sleeper

“Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” — Ephesians 5:14

Have we been lulled into sleep?

We scroll instead of pray.

We numb instead of notice.

We busy our souls into blindness while the world burns with brokenness.

Fear hushes us.

We worry more about approval than about truth. We hope someone else will speak—and we slip back into slumber.

But the Word of God is no lullaby. It is a sword. A fire. A lamp for our feet.

And the enemy does not sleep. He prowls like a lion, relentless in his mission: to steal, to kill, to destroy.

But Christ does not leave us defenseless. He arms us—

the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit.

He clothes us for battle, because this fight is not against flesh and blood.

So this becomes our battle cry:

• His Word is our battle cry.

• His truth is our battle cry.

• His love is our battle cry.

Don’t waste your one God-given life under the weight of apathy.

Don’t stay curled under the covers of comfort.

The days are evil, but Christ is shining. Today is your gift to rise awake, alive, and alert—for His glory.

Wake up, sleeper.

The light of Christ is already breaking in.
