“Arise And Ascend”
Monday, July 8, 2024Key Verse
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.” Isaiah 60:1
Text — Isaiah 60:1-7
Message
Arise is a word used commonly to wake people from their sleep, or to ask someone who is lying low or sitting down to come up. When anyone responds to the call to arise out of his current state of sleep, low lying or sitting he sees better and beyond what he was seeing while lying low. He also becomes alert and better engaged. Have you ever seen a soldier who sleeps or sits to win while on the battle field?
Arise and take the step of faith to ascend the ladder of success in every area of your life. Be set to ascend the ladder of a successful life by repenting of your sins and accept Jesus as your personal Saviour and Lord. Do away with every sinful habit and live a holy life. Awake from over-sleeping, laziness, procrastination, gluttony and all forms of carelessness/playfulness. Turn over a new leaf, shake yourself from the dust and ascend to success and victory.
