Pastor Robert Madu talked about the many ways you can be spiritually sleepy: little to no desire to pray, desire to be served rather than serve others, and isolating yourself from the community of believers. What steps are you taking to stay in God's word?

This was an amazing message
I had 2 holes in my heart when I was born and the doctor told my parents that they couldn't take me anywhere or I would get sick but they didn't listen to him and still took me to church safely and I was healed with no surgery or anything needed now I'm 14 years old and worship and praise God every day❤

My sermon notes for " I didn't know I feel asleep" : 1.) Don't despise small beginnings. When God starts something small, it can get big 2.) Sometimes you may be thinking "God could you pour out more" and he will respond telling you he's not lacking for depth of content to pour out but so you have the capacity to receive what it is he wants to pour out in your life. Do you prepare yourself before you come into the house of God? Prepare yourself before getting into service, have enough oil to burn all night. Do you have some expectations (oil) for your lamp? Do you have proof of your expectations? You need to start setting the atmosphere with your expectations 3.) Community is important, when you are in a dark place, you need somebody to praise with you 4.) It has nothing to do with the seed, and everything to with the soil that it is sown in. 5.) You have to be careful when you have open windows, you can't fight sleep with a window seat. Your intention will get you in the room but it's your attention and will keep you in the room 6.) You have to keep on fighting, don't let the things around you put you to sleep 7.) Signs that you are falling asleep spiritually: 1.) You have little or no desire to pray, 2.) You have a lost of appetite for reading the word of God, 3.) you are no longer convinced of willful sin, 4.) You desire to be served rather than serve others, 5.) You are easily offended,6.) You are avoiding accountability,7.) You are comparing yourself to others, 8.) You are spreading or entertaining gossip, 9.) You are isolating yourself from community of other believers 8.) No matter what has held you down, you can get up too. You are not defined by your mistakes. God is still in the business of raising things that are dead back to life

This song is SO TIMELY for my family and I! My 13 year old sister has cancer, and Sunday I had gotten a call from my parents asking to gather all of my siblings to come and say our goodbyes… We prayed, we asked for a miracle, and here we are 5 days later and my sister has made a MIRACULOUS recovery and doctors are in AWE!

Amazing sermon, Pastor Mandu is one of my favorite preachers.
Father please give our children people who will sit with them and will hearken to not fall asleep while you guide them. You chose us and reconciled us to make one with you and made us a royal priesthood. Your truth is our light and our life. I love you. Amen
was homeless, did drugs, went into prison, where I got to know God. He changed my life. Now I have a home, a wife and a lovely year old daughter (Zoe), and a stream of income that gets me $32,000 Weekly. Plus a new identity - a child of God. Hallelujah!!!
First time here ! I been lost for a long time this was definitely for me . I am committed to letting the lord back into my heart. Amazing sermon❤
I suffered from infertility tried for so many years to get pregnant. I always prayed to god to please bless me with a child. I was watching a mother play with her son on tik tok one day I cried and screamed to god "god please give me a child!!!!!" that same day something in me told me to take a pregnancy test... it came back positive! I couldnt believe it I was in tears and in shock!I took more pregnancy tests and they all came back positive! A week after I found out I was pregnant I found a cross necklace a few steps away from where I worked at and I then knew it was really god all along and never left my side. I now have a 11 month healthy beautiful baby boy. He's turning 1 in a few days! ❤ God is good!

Been traveling around the United States and the Lord completely has guided our journey. His discernment and guidance has saved us through so many situations that could have been catastrophic. Still on that journey and we are relying on our Lord's direction. This serman was almost erie with our situation we just over came we fell asleep and we're very shortly smacked with realization that we should have paid more attention. But he has gotten us back on the road once again. If you could pray for my wife and I for safe travels.

Doing my best to continue to walk with the lord. Please help me pray for my family to look for GOD more in their lives. Thank you. ❤
Sometimes I don’t have words because I don’t know how to preach and I have Tried everything that I believe God has for me . I’m gonna grow in my little faith . But i kept silent and I don’t talk my pain . But it’s hard to be the center of everyone’s expectations but I hope that I endure everyone’s center of judgment and criticism. But I will and know I will fight my Sobriety and health . Im glad and happy for everyone salvation and support.
I’m wrong and I can’t stop praying on and believing I will rejoice and grow and stay alive for the love of me and my family.
Pls pray with me, I didn’t know I fell asleep 🙏🏽😊
I went online with the expectation that God was going to talk to me through one of his soldiers. I needed direction. I was despretly looking for his word. I needed him to speak to me. I found multiple messages back to back and my last one brought me to this one. And this one scaffolded into what God was telling me. Amen, Amen, Amen, and this is how God spoke to me. Amen, Amen, Amen.

I was just watching you yesterday morning and didn't know you knew Steven and Holy
Love your church and use it as your home nomater what anyone says believe that god is your home life and friend. Use your life how you want to use it keep belveing in jesus!!!!
THE MADU CREW IS A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY!!!!
👑🌎👑God reigns over the nations👑🌎👑 God sits on His holy throne 🕊️✝️❤️ I don’t care about my own life. The most important thing is that I finish my work. I want to finish the work that the Lord Jesus gave me to do-to tell people the Good News about God’s grace 🕊️✝️❤️ So today I can tell you one thing that I am sure of: God will not blame me if some of you are not saved. I can say this because I know that I told you everything that God wants you to know. Be careful for yourselves and for all the people God has given you. The Holy Spirit gave you the work of caring for this flock. You must be shepherds to the church of God, the people he bought with his own blood 🕊️✝️❤️ Also, men from your own group will begin to teach things that are wrong. They will lead some of the Lord’s followers away from the truth to follow them 🕊️✝️❤️ Now I am putting you in God’s care. I am depending on the message about his grace to make you strong. That message is able to give you the blessings that God gives to all his holy people 🕊️✝️❤️
Thank you Lord to these people they intouch with jesus god bless them

Lol 😆 I fell asleep 😴 in the choir stand once.
I'm sitting in the parking lot of a court house. I'm here because of child support. I have a joint custody agreement and have spent a lot of time with my daughter but something rang through on the way here this morning. I listened to your message and yes I have fallen asleep on my duty of active faith but what has hit me is that I fell asleep on my daughter too. I know I was there but looking back I wasn't all there. Now is the time to turn things around.

What were the scriptures, and what's the difference between spiritual sleep and natural sleep?!🎇🎇🎎🎎
@luislimasbrazoban8352
7 ай бұрын
I believe it was the book of acts. And natural sleep is when you are tired/sleepy but spiritual sleep isn’t very different, it’s when you are being tempted and are tired of fighting the devil so like Eutychus you fall to those temptations. I’ve been battling addiction for so many years and didn’t know I was spiritually asleep, but recently I have found Christ and the same way Paul revived eutychus god has revived me. I’ve been sober for a while now and I try to thank god everyday. But that doesn’t mean I don’t get spiritually sleepy sometimes I am tempted less now but the devil lurks and he waits and he tries , but with god you can overcome all things 🙌🏾🙌🏾 . I thank god for waking me up , and I thank god for your comment so I can speak my testimony. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Amen! You are home 😊
Whoever reading this, God never sends you into a situation alone, God goes before you, He stands beside you, He walks behind you. Whatever situation you have right now be confident. God is with you. Ameen

Pastor Robert also talked about people in the church standing in judgement and not doing anything. Let's not be one of those people! My family and I had to stop going to church due to so many church peope being so judgemental about us for the reason that our daughter got mild CP during her difficult birth. We know that God is healing her and we've experienced these difficult time for His glory! Farnoosh watching from Bendigo, Australia
Btw God doesn’t want you to be poor. He wants everyone to be wealthy. Abundant. Caring for all.
Father give me a new perspective of you and your word give me understanding and guidance lord help me to wake up spiritually give me a new heart and help me to have new positive thoughts help me to love myself and others help me to want to serve and do more father and thank you so much for loving me choosing me guiding teaching and being a father to me
