Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional
Date: Wednesday,2 April 2025
Focus: The Alarm is Sounding
Message:
Revival starts when people wake up. This devotional is a prophetic call to shake off apathy and rise in fire.
Key Verse:
📖 Ephesians 5:14 – “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Devotional:
There is a sound rising in the spirit realm—it’s not soft, and it’s not subtle. It’s an alarm. A wake-up call. The trumpet of awakening is being blown across the earth, and Heaven is urgently calling the Church to rise from its slumber. Too many believers have been lulled into spiritual sleep—comfortable, distracted, and passive. But the hour is too critical, the darkness too thick, and the harvest too ripe for us to remain silent or still.
đź“– Scripture Reading:
Ephesians 5:14 – “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Refreshing for the Day:
Beloved, God is not just calling us to wake up—He’s calling us to burn again. Just like Jesus called out to Lazarus to come forth from the grave, the Spirit is shouting: “Awake, sleeper! Rise from the dead!” Now is the time to respond. To rise. To return. To burn. The alarm is sounding—can you hear it? So, ask yourself: Am I spiritually awake, or am I surviving on yesterday’s fire? This is your moment to stir yourself in prayer, worship, and hunger. Don’t wait for someone else to light the fire—be the spark. Stay Refreshed!
Note This:
A slumbering church cannot save a dying world.
Responsibilities:
- Today, set aside a moment of silence and ask the Holy Spirit to show you any area in your life that has gone spiritually numb or sleepy.
- Write down a personal declaration of awakening.
🙏 Prayer:
Lord, I refuse to stay asleep while my generation needs fire. Awaken my heart, stir my spirit, and align me with Your voice. I hear Your alarm, and I respond. Wake me up, Lord—fully, deeply, and permanently. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
Prophetic Declaration:
I hear the sound—I’m rising! I will not slumber or settle. I am awake, alert, and aligned. I burn for Jesus, and I answer the call to stir my generation! In Jesus’ name, Amen!
