Rise up

Rise up!
There is a song that plays on the radio, and it says, “Rise up, can’t you hear the voice of Jesus calling us, out from the grave like Lazarus.” During a recent service, Apostle Keta, who is also my auntie, talked about Lazarus, and how God raised him from the dead. She said, “Get loose.”
God is trying to tell us that we don’t have to be spiritually dead! God wants to help us get loose from everything that is dead and goes against him. We don’t have to walk around like spiritual zombies. God is saying, “wake up, wake up!” He is calling us out of the dry, dead places.
We don’t have to be living in sin any longer! Jesus is so amazing, that he always has his hand out for us. God always tries to help his children in every way he can, but it is up to us to take God’s hand. Rise up!
You no longer have to be dead! Jesus is showing us the light since we were trapped in the darkness for so long. Look at the end of the tunnel and run to Jesus. Rise up!
Isaiah 60: 1-3
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
