THOSE WHO SLEEP IN CHURCH DURING SERVICE.
Pastor Obinna Michael
Mark 4:3-4, 14-15 (KJV)....... Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
[4] and it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
[14] The sower soweth the word.
[15] And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts.
Malaria has symptoms, and they include high fever, shaking chills, profuse sweating, etc.
So, when those in the medical field see some of those symptoms even without you running a test, they can tell. But sometimes, other diseases or sicknesses can also transmit the same kind of symptoms too.
Do you know that as it is with the physical, so it is with the spiritual too?
Sleeping during church services is also a symptom of certain diseases. We can understand the one who sleeps in church because he or she is tired and exhausted, but when it becomes a frequent thing, then know this.
· You are battling with the enemy who does not want you to receive light from the word that will chase him out of your life.
· It could be spiritual pride at work and resulting in you sleeping during service.
· It could be a sign of a cold or dormant spiritual life. So, the individual is at the mercy of the devil.
· It could also be a life of indiscipline showing itself in your body because you haven't learnt how to put your body in shape.
Meditate on these.
Prayer:
Repent now and ask the Holy Spirit to help you.
Bible Reference: Ephesians 6:10-12, Proverbs 6:4, 9-10.
Wisdom Capsule:
Proverbs 22:12 (MSG)...... God guards knowledge with a passion, but he’ll have nothing to do with deception.
