Awake O Sleeper

By Dag Heward-Mills

Sleep is necessary for your body to rest, for relaxation and to have a break. Sleep is also important to improve your productivity and your performance. However, there are times when it is inappropriate to sleep, and there are also times when it is inappropriate to sleep for too long. When you are asleep your eyes are closed. You no longer have your sight and your vision. To be asleep, therefore, is to lose your sight and your vision. To be asleep is to lose awareness and knowledge of your surroundings. To be asleep is to be unaware of danger. That is why God says that you must awake from your sleep and your slumber!
Bishop Dag Heward-Mills remind us in this book that there is always movement and change when you walk with the Lord. The life of a Christian should be full of movement, full of activity, full of battles. Awake O Sleeper! This is not the time to sleep.

CHAPTER 1 

Those Who Sleep Have No Vision

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

WHEREFORE HE SAITH, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

Ephesians 5:11-17

What It Means to Have No Vision

When you are asleep your eyes are closed. When your eyes are closed the organs which give you vision are covered and closed. You no longer have your sight and your vision. To be asleep, therefore, is to lose your sight and your vision.

1. Sleeping means you lack a vision for your life.

Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

Proverbs 29:18

That is why God says that you must awake from your sleep and your slumber. When you have a vision, you work towards it and make sacrifices for it. Your vision causes you to become what you become.
