Book excerpt: Overcoming Spiritual Slumber is a booklet written to encourage and challenge God's people to be passionate about God and His Kingdom, inculcating spiritual vibrancy that will foster fruitfulness and spiritual exploits. The devil tempts Christians to compromise in subtle ways but God has called His people to "Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called..." (1 Timothy 6:12, MEV). This book gives insight into 1) How to harness God's grace 2) How to avoid the devil's snare 3) How to overcome distractions and offences 4) How to experience Resurrection Power 5) How to appropriate our inheritance as children of God 6) How to remain fruitful through prayer Our warfare is real and .."we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12, MEV). Satan tries to induce spiritual slumber in the lives of Christians but by the grace of God we can remain alert. The Bible says, "Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." (1 Peter 5:8, MEV). We cannot afford to slumber for God has provided all we need to be victorious (2 Peter 1:3). This author, Rev. Panton Okon hopes that this short book will galvanize God's children into action in such a way that they would exude spiritual vibrancy and joy as we wait for the coming of our Lord, Savior and King, Jesus Christ.
