ARISE AND LEAD THE WAY

             In this generation, many things are going wrong with the Christian body, even the coming generation have been ensnare with the menace that is spreading like virus in the church of this generation. People are serving  God as they like, devil has infiltrated into the Church to deceive many (James 1: 2-5). Even church leaders of this generation has move from bad to worse, full of activities without the act of the Holy Spirit and His manifestation, even church members are full of religious act without genuine salvation. We have neglected the ancient path and we are walking along the path that is full of pleasure and desires that is against the will of God.
             Nevertheless, God still have some remnant among the Church and He wants them to arise and stand their ground against all ungodly acts, against all ceremonial activities of the church without the act of the Holy Spirit.

    Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee (Isaiah 60: 1-2)

           We need to ARISE and lead the way for we are the light. Another reason why we must rise is because God want us to do so which is seen in the following verses. The Holy spirit cannot rise upon us without us rising, we cannot be filled with the power of the Holy spirit and still continue this way we are, God want us to ARISE to save the lost soul that are heading towards hell, to make a change in the church of this generation and the nation at large from the path of destruction they are.
          We must not keep silent about who we are serving, about our salvation and belief we must confess and witness it to everyone who Jesus is and what He has done no matter what the pain or persecution is          We must also rise because the world is waiting for us; (Rom 8:19- For the earnest expectation of the creature wait for the manifestation of the sons of God). The world is in gross darkness and they are waiting for someone who have light and can lead them out of the darkness. It is very obvious that when some one is in darkness, some other things will be present in such a life such as confusion, disorder, frustration, lack of direction and vision, collision, discouragement, wound, captivity, and lack of progress .
      Therefore, we do not need to be sleeping again or silent, it is high time for us to awake from our sleeping and speak out to tell the whole world the right way to go and lead them to the path that is of eternal life and lead them out of darkness to the light of our God.
      Arise now, so that the darkness will not rise upon you. ARISE AND LEAD THE WAY.
