Wake Up, Oh Sleeper — Jeremy Johnson

All throughout the Bible God would constantly ask the Israelites to remember. Because sometimes looking back at the things that God got you through can give you the courage and confidence to believe that He’s going to get you through the now. But there are times that the Lord says, “I need you to forget the former things and perceive the new.” If we are looking back we will never be able to move forward into what He’s wanting to do through us. When we start living in a way that fills our house with light, we can be entrusted to change the neighborhood and then the world! The church has buildings but little boldness

The church haha numbers but little nerve 
The church has comfort but little courage 
The church has status but little spirit 
The church has prestige but little power 
The church has knowledge but little wisdom
The church has influence but little integrity 
The church has resources but little resolve 
The church has activity but little anointing 
The church has sermons  but little sincerity 
The church has knowledge but little kindness 
The church has rituals but little relationship
The church has tradition but little transformation 
The church has programs but little purpose

God wants a new church come that will not just light a lamp during the day but will burn brightly at night. The talents that God gives us are merely lampstands to show off and reflect His glory so let’s wake up oh sleeper and allow Him to use us as vessels to promote His glory!
