What time is it?

When Elisha’s servant, Gehazi, took gifts from Naaman, the Syrian who was healed of leprosy,  Elisha knew what Gehazi had done, and asked him, “Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?”

What time is it?

Romans 13:11-14 The Message  “But make sure that you don’t get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God. The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing! God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed. We can’t afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight. Get out of bed and get dressed! Don’t loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about!”

I need to awake from the sleep of gratifying my flesh, and put on my clothes (Christ), and start walking in the Spirit and in the fruit of the Spirit and in the gifts of the Spirit.

It’s time to WAKE UP!
