Are you Awake or Asleep?

We all seek to see God's glory in and around us because only God's glory can last till eternity. We pray for His glory to shine on and in our lives and path.  I personally ask for His glory to be evident in my life.
I believe for God's glory to be seen or to shine in our lives we must be ready to be used of God. His glory will not shine in a place where its not recognised. His glory will shine where and when it's needed.

A song by Tasha Cobbs.(For your glory)
Lord if I find Favour in your sight.
Lord please hear my heart cry.
I'm desperately waiting.
To be where you are.
I'll cross the Hottest desert.
I'll travel near or far.

For your glory I will do anything
Just to see you
To behold you as my king

I wanna be where you are
I gotta be where you are.

To behold God's glory you must walk and work with God.

Luke 9:28-35 AMP
Now about eight days after these teachings, Jesus took with Him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray. And as He was praying, the appearance of His countenance became altered (different), and His raiment became dazzling white [flashing with the brilliance of lightning]. And behold, two men were conversing with Him--Moses and Elijah, Who appeared in splendor and majesty and brightness and were speaking of His exit [from life], which He was about to bring to realization at Jerusalem. Now Peter and those with him were weighed down with sleep, but when they fully awoke, they saw His glory (splendor and majesty and brightness) and the two men who stood with Him. And it occurred as the men were parting from Him that Peter said to Jesus, Master, it is delightful and good that we are here; and let us construct three booths or huts--one for You and one for Moses and one for Elijah! not noticing or knowing what he was saying. But even as he was saying this, a cloud came and began to overshadow them, and they were seized with alarm and struck with fear as they entered into the cloud. Then there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, My Chosen One or My Beloved ; listen to and yield to and obey Him!

From the Bible passage above, Peter John and James were with our Lord Jesus Christ. Whilst the master was praying, they were sleeping.

Many Christians are still sleeping just like the disciples were asleep Many are asleep whereas they think they are awake. You can be awake physically but be asleep spiritually. As some of us know that whatever happens in the physical life is first settled in the spiritual realm. Basically the spiritual realm controls the physical. 

Until the disciples were awake they were unaware of what was going on in their surroundings. They only saw the parting of Elijah and Moses they were unaware of the conversation that transpired between them(Jesus, Moses and Elijah).

For instance when you are sleeping, if anyone wakes you up and ask you to sign a contract some people will just sign but some will just start saying something else. It's because sleep mode is activated all your senses are not function the way they would when you are awake. Thesame thing happens when you are asleep spiritually you are less aware of your surroundings.

As believers it can be dangerous to be spiritually asleep. Your consciousness in the spirit world can save you from a lot of damage both spiritually and physically. To attain the level of being spiritually alert is not a ball game.Verse 38 of the passage above says Jesus took with Him. That is you must be chosen, your availability at times matters, if you are not available you can be replaced.

Romans 8:29 AMP
For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren.

It is true that before we were created God knew us. It is also essential that we identify ourselves with Him. The disciples were set apart known to be followers of Christ everywhere they go to. Is not that they are disciple in the morning, a trader in the afternoon and a thug in the night. They were seperated ready, determined, dilligent and focused.

Apart from God's glory being evident in our lives, when we get to Heaven we will be able to see The fullness of His glory. We must be ready to do all it takes to partake in His glory both on earth and when we get to Heaven.

Don't be too busy to be unable to become busy for God. God's business is your business your heritage. The price was paid by Jesus on calvary making you and I qualified to be used of God. Making us worthy to stand before God regardless of our past as long as we are redeemed we have a glorious future. You cannot behold that glory except you are in Christ.

As the lyrics of the song I shared above says I'll cross the Hottest desert,  I'll travel near or far. We must be ready to give up somethings that is or will hold us back from beholding God's glory. We must be ready to give our all to achieve what God has predestined us to achieve as believers.

Hell was not created for you and I ( it was created for devil and his demons). Heaven is our home there is a place still available for you if you're yet to identify and live for Christ. If you have negelected your duty because of the fantasies of life  run back travel that journey, retrace your step now. Come home He is still waiting for you. He will not give up and hasn't given up on you.

You are chosen, special, different, a child and vessel of God. Don't think you are less qualified or there is no quality in you that is useful to God. He placed something within you that He wants you to utilise in a way that will glorify Him.

Let us pray.
Lord Jesus I thank you for this word you have sent to me. Forgive my sins Lord I acknowledge and accept you as my father, Lord and saviour. Come and live in me, also I release myself for your use Lord. Father keep me on the right track so that I will be worthy to behold your glory and thank you Lord for waking me up spiritually help me to stay awake spiritually and physically so I can function the way you want me to in Jesus name amen.
Thank you Jesus.
