And she arose at midnight, and took my son from beside me, while thine handmaid slept, and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead child in my bosom. (1 Kings 3:20)
Your enemy has no conscience and does not know how to play fair. This is why you should be ever alert and not sleep in your spirit. Paul admonishes us in Romans 13:11 that this is the high time to awake from sleep. Sleep is a state of relaxation where one forgets the buzz of the outside world. It is a state of spiritual ease. In this state, the believer has forgotten prayer, study of the word of God and the foundational issues such as fellowship with other believers. If you are in this state, wake up!
In Matthew 13:24-28 Jesus tells a parable of a man who sowed good seed into his field. Whilst men slept, his enemy came and sowed wheat like weeds amongst his wheat and went away. When his plants began to grow, the weeds also appeared. When the servants went to tell him, his remark was, "An enemy hath done this." It is imperative for every believer to be alert and not relax because the enemy is out on the prowl seeking to deposit something in your bosom. Where there is health, he would want to deposit sickness. In marital bliss, it is his joy to sow discord, in prosperity and progress he would want to sow financial hardship and pain.
Check your bosom on a daily basis; consider carefully the deposits in it. Ensure that your relationship with the Father is constantly in line. It is your connection to the divine presence of God that will ensure that invariable victories are in your life. I declare that your eyes will be especially open to see and discern all the tactics of the enemy.
Today, you must rise in intercession for the return of that which was stolen. The word tells that the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much (James 5:16). It is dynamic in its working and certainly causes changes in your environment. It has the effect of recovering that which was stolen and lost. Such prayer pursues the thief and collects back all the spoil he had plundered.
You can get back your smile, joy can return to your family. Yes, it can be a pleasurable experience again to live your house in the morning to go to work. This is despite the way the enemy had tried to destroy you. Awake from your sleep today, God has brought you light!
