A Wake Up Call!

Several years ago, the great film producer, Spike Lee, made a movie entitled, "School Daze." One of the scenes at the end of the movie, was of a young man who was shouting on the campus, "WAKE UP!!!!!"

Saints, that's what time it is in our world, and that is particularly what time it is in our nation. It is time for America to "Wake Up!"

Our country has become dormant when it comes to issues of faith, ethical issues of character and integrity, the difference between what is right and what is wrong, issues of justice and more than anything else, issues pertaining to the Divine Will of God. This nation has forgotten that America was founded to be a Christian nation. Whether the masses realize it or not, this nation belongs to God! America is supposed to be a God-fearing nation that serves as a Witness for the rest of the world.

Needless to say, America is failing to be the witness that God has ordained us to be. As a result of our spiritual negligence and delinquency, a Wake Up Call is in order. God is ready to reclaim America and receive on the Investment that He has made in our country for over four centuries. God is not going to continue to let America operate in a state of spiritual slumber. A Divine Wake Up Call is in order.

What can the church do, as God prepares to shake America from her spiritual stupor? We can get our "house" in order. As believers in Christ and children of God, we need to be as vigilant and diligent in regards to our relationship with God than ever before. It's time to make the "crooked places straight and the rough places plain" (Isaiah 40). It's time for us to "lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us" (Hebrews 12). It's time to sell out to God! No more spiritual mediocrity, no more lukewarm worship and praise (Revelation 3). It's time to get on fire for God!

Remember Saints, the judgment of God begins at the House of God (1Peter 4). There are plenty of Christians that need a Wake Up Call as well. Let's not be those whom God has to shake up to wake up. Let's be sober-minded and submit to God's Divine Will and Order for our lives.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that You would release a Spirit of Repentance upon America. Give us a spirit to turn from our wicked ways. Give us a spirit to return to You in love and obedience. Give us the Grace to receive, nationally, Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior. We bless Your name Father, and we give You all of the praise. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
