As King Jehoshaphat led the Israelites into war singing
songs of praise and came out victorious; so was the mood today with the
believers as they sang songs in full assurance of attaining victory, healing
and deliverance from the Lord Almighty. The Servant of God Abraham Richard then took position at the
pulpit and led the believers into the message of the day titled, “WAKE UP YOUR SPIRIT!” With reference
from the book of Mark 4:13, “Then Jesus said to them, ‘Don’t you
understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable.’”
Going straight in the message, the prophet told the believers that the moment you fail to understand a parable then you are spiritually asleep and this is a great danger to one who is a Christian. Citing the example of the disciples, the Servant of God said that at the time they were supposed to pray they were sleeping (Luke 22:40-46) and at the time they were supposed to be sleeping they were awake (Luke 8:24) With reference to those scriptures he cautioned believers to always be spiritually awake at all times; through that you will be able to know the times (Ecclesiastes 3:4)

Broadening the message, Prophet Abraham Richard referenced
John 14:5-10, “Thomas said to him, ‘Lord we don’t know where you are going, so how
can we know the way?...’” he noted that the same way the disciples did
not understand; it is the same with Christians today, we are spiritually asleep
hence making us do the wrong thing at the wrong place and time.
The Servant of
God reminded the believers that whatever happens to a Christian always has a
message but if you are spiritually asleep a lot will happen when you do not
know.
Bringing more light to the message the prophet said that a man who is spiritually awake cannot be lied to because truth is in him; citing an example of a child, he said that a child can lie to the parents and if they are spiritually asleep they will take it as the gospel truth and this can cause havoc in the home. This is the danger we live in as Christians who are spiritually asleep however if you are spiritually awake you will be able to notice that it is a trap of satan to bring confusion in your home and you will be able to foil his plans. The prophet noted that believers should be cautious of how to deal with all matters of life because many Christians are spiritually asleep that is why we repeat the same mistake over and over again.

Summing up the truth filled and spirit awakening teaching
the Servant of God noted it is vital now to wake up your spirit and the only
way this can be done is through valuing the voice of God within you, prayer and
meditation in the word of God at all times.
As a take home note the prophet
told the believers that when you are spiritually awake your spirit will lead
you to the right job, ministry, marriage, business deal etal.
