Lets start with...
1) "What time do you sleep and wake up?"
Recently or even since youth camp I have develop a bad habit of sleeping at wee hours meaning after midnight and that's nothing good or anything to be proud of. Staying up awake to play games or stuff and then sleep in the morning is also crazy, I can't say it's wrong because I don't think it is however what's wrong here is this that...
---> When we sleep late we wake up late and then our whole schedule for the day is in a mess, we are late for almost everything, cancel some meetings because we are tired or too late to make it and many other reason.
---> When we sleep late and then have to wake up early for school or whatsoever, we tend to lose our temper halfway through the day because of the lack of sleep or we just become tired but it's not because we are doing things or other stuff.
---> When we sleep after midnight, believe me or not that's up to you ( you can check with other leaders too if you don't believe me) but once after midnight you are weak and that's a chance for the enemy to start attacking you.
- You start thinking things that are not true. Like you are not a good leader/shepherd/christian, You are lousy/cannot make it/useless
- Guys and maybe girls start having wrong thoughts. Guys start thinking of girls and all the perverse thoughts and girls start thinking bout guys they like, think the handsome or nice and many more.
- You start feeling all the emo and stuff, remember all your past romance and start thinking this and that
- I don't know about the girls but maybe its the same but for guys we start looking at pornography, have thoughts that are wrong and might even do the wrong thing; masturbation. I don't know what girls do but it might be the same as us guys
2) "What's the first thing you do when you wake up"
I was convicted by God this also because recently everyday when I wake up the first thing I do is this ON THE COMPUTER like many of you who during your holidays do this. That is also not wrong but think about this who comes 1st in your life? Jesus or Your pleasures/Your desires?
So I've decided 1st thing I will do in the morning is read my bible and seek God.
Basically this is the case that we as good christian/uprising leaders/wanna be leaders should learn to sleep early, wake up early, plan our schedule and spend time with the almighty Daddy God.
This is must to the core of my cell and cell that we sleep BY 12am starting from monday 12 January 2009 and wake up early to do our quiet time and also of course before we sleep. Of course for the "senior citizen" of my cell you must do it too.
I will check once in awhile but do have integrity and do it and not lie to me. It's for your own good
Proverbs 10:9 - He who walks with integrity walks securely, But he who perverts his ways will become known.
