Topic: WHEN MEN SLEPT

MEMORIZE: “but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.” Matthew 13:25.

SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Kings 3:16-27.

Night sleep in naturally designed by God to refresh our strength; but, whether in the day or at night, sleeping is not only signal for regaining strength and refreshing our health, on the other hand, it is a symbol of being unconscious of what happened around you. The two harlots in our Scripture reading today, we discovered that it was while they were sleeping that one unconsciously slept over her own baby, who she loves dearly. This brought her unto loss. At the same, it was the same that she woke up and carried the baby of the other woman and replaced it with the dead child of her own. The argument about the rightful owner of the living was what brought them to the presence of the king. Enemies of our souls are always busy working at night, most especially when men slept, that he is exchanging and destroying destinies.

In Matthew 13:25, “but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.” The word of God admonishes us to stay awake because we are not children of darkness as to be living in sin. 1 Thessalonians 5:5-8 read “5. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.”

We must stay alert and take dominion of our lives and our immediate environment through spiritual awakening. Devil takes over when he knows we are ignorant of his devices. Don’t be spiritually insensitive as to allow the devil to rule your life for you. Hand over your life unto Jesus and obey Him. The way God used Solomon to fight for the rightful owner of the living child, the way God will fight for you and restore back to you all your fortunes you have lost into the hands of the devil and the wicked world in Jesus Name.

PRAYER POINT:

Lord, I receive grace and power to profit God’s kingdom with all I am and have in Jesus name.
