Introduction: Does it seems like CHRISTians are asleep? But why? What is happening? Have some given up Hope?
What is the answer? Paul gives the remedy:

1. Wake up in a Sleepy World! 

“And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.” (Rom 13:11,12)

“33Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.” (1Cor 15:33,34)

2. Turn the Light on!

“The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.” (Rom 13:12)

Jesus said,

“14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” (Matt 5:14-16)

These are dark days! But the darker the day the brighter the light!! Shine Jesus Shine!!!

3. Put on Jesus!

“But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.” (Rom 13:14)

Paul further wrote,

“That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” (Eph 4:22-24)

Do you keep on Jesus? Do you put off Self?
