Mēs dzīvojam laikā, where many Christians are spiritually asleep and are busy with things that have nothing to do with the Kingdom of God and have no eternal value. Many Christians are sleeping during harvest when they should be busy saving souls, who otherwise will be lost. Sakāmvārdos 10:5, we read about a wise son, who gathers in summer and a son that causes shame, because he sleeps in the harvest.
Gathering in the summer
He that gathers in summer is a wise son: but he that sleeps in harvest is a son that causes shame (Sakāmvārdi 10:5)
Two kinds of sons are described in this verse: the wise son, kas staigā pēc Gara, and the foolish son, kas staigā pēc miesas.
The son, kas staigā pēc Gara lives according to God’s will and is busy, doing the things of the Kingdom of God. He walks in the light and therefore he watches and is awake and is not sleeping. He does what his Father has commanded him to do upon this earth. Tāpēc, he brings the cross and the gospel of the Kingdom of God to the people, through which many souls are saved. He works and gathers for his Father, lai Viņš tiktu paaugstināts.
Sleeping during harvest
But the son, kas staigā pēc miesas, walks in darkness; grēkos un netaisnībās. He is asleep, and therefore he is not aware of the necessity to do the work of his Father; to bring the gospel of the Kingdom of God to the people, preach the cross and Jesus Christ and save souls. He is too busy with his own life and to fulfill his own lusts and desires. He doesn’t care about his Father’s will and about the many lost souls, but he lives after his own will and satisfies himself.
The devil tries to keep believers asleep
The devil tries to keep every believer asleep. He and his whole army will do anything to ensure that believers are focused on themselves and keep walking after the flesh. He knows, that as long as believers keep walking after the flesh, and be led by their senses, Emocijas, domāšana, Uc., and keep living in sins and iniquities, they are not a danger to him and his kingdom.
That’s why he uses all kinds of resources to keep them busy and izklaidēt viņus so that they will keep away from the Word of God.
The devil seduces Christians and lets them focus on themselves and upon earthly things and side issues, which will eventually lead them to spiritual passivity and poverty. The devil tries to make everyone passive so that he can go his way, without being disturbed.
The devil’s tactics and his works have not changed. Bet diemžēl, many Christians are sleeping and don’t see what is actually going on. They don’t discern his evil works.
Tāpēc, paliec nomodā un skaties. follow holiness, un veidojiet sevi savā vissvētākajā ticībā, lūgties, un staigā pēc gara. Meklējiet tās lietas, which are above and not those things which are upon this earth. Be busy with the things of the Kingdom of God. Do your Father’s will, so that you will be a wise son of His and He will be exalted through Jesus Christ.
