Start hating sleeping.
Dear reader, prepare yourself for this bombshell I am about to drop. Start hating sleep. Yes, start adjusting your lifestyle when it comes to sleep. In this article, I will tell you why you should start sleeping less.
What Health Experts Say.
Don’t listen to everything health experts tell you. When some say you should sleep continuously for at least seven hours during the night, don’t listen to such recommendations because you are less of this world.
You are now a new creation.
When you received Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, you became a new creature. You became less of this world and more of the Kingdom of Heaven (John 15:19).
God Does Not Sleep.
The written Word in the Bible tells us that God does not sleep or even slumber (Psalm 121:3-4). If your creator, who is also your master, does not sleep, why would you want to sleep a lot?
We are at war.
As soon as you received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you entered into a spiritual war. You began to fight against the rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
I have never seen a soldier at war sleep continuously for more than two hours. Some just take a short nap, wake up, and continue the fight.
Satan does not sleep.
Satan and the demons do not sleep. They work around the clock to make Christians fail. If the enemy you are fighting is awake all the time, why would you want to sleep as many hours as health experts recommend?
No sleep in heaven.
Just as God does not sleep, even the inhabitants of heaven rarely sleep. Listen to what the Bible says:
8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:
Revelation 4:8
Imagine what would happen if our health experts were given the opportunity to visit Heaven. They would expertly advise the four living creatures to sleep at least 5 hours a day. If there is little sleep in Heaven, why would you want to sleep so much?
Jesus asks you to wake up.
As I finish this article, Jesus asks you,
46 “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.”
Luke 22:46
