Remnant, Repent

Awake and Surrender!

The call of God is clear and urgent: “Awake, sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine [as dawn] upon you.” (Ephesians 5:14, AMP). This is not a simple invitation to try harder or be better. It is a summons to radical transformation—a complete renewal of your heart that only God can accomplish through His Spirit when you fully surrender to Him. So, awake and surrender!

Let me ask you: Are you fully yielded to the Holy Spirit? Have you given Him access to every area of your heart, or are there parts of your life you’re still holding back? God is not asking for part of you—He is asking for all of you. He desires to awaken your spirit, breathe new life into your soul, and lead you into a vibrant relationship with Him that overflows with His power and purpose. It’s time to awake and surrender your heart.

The Scriptures remind us that transformation begins with surrender. “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.” (Ezekiel 36:26, AMP). Is there an area of your life that feels hardened or distant from God? The Holy Spirit is ready to soften that place, to renew you, and to replace apathy with passion for the things of God. Awake and surrender to His work within you.

But this transformation requires action on your part. God is calling you to awaken and take the next step of faith. Have you grown complacent in your walk with Him? Have you allowed distractions, sin, or fear to keep you from walking fully in His light? “The night [this present evil age] is almost gone, and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] armor of light.” (Romans 13:12, AMP). What is God asking you to fling away today? What is He calling you to take up in its place? Think about what it means to awaken and surrender today.

The Holy Spirit, living within you, is speaking even now. Ask Him: “What is the next step You want me to take? Where do You want to do a deeper work in my heart?” Listen to His voice. He is faithful to reveal what needs to change and to provide the strength to surrender. Remember, awake and surrender to God’s divine guidance.

Repentance is not just turning away from sin; it is turning toward God with a heart fully yielded to Him. “If My people, who are called by My Name, humble themselves, and pray and seek [crave, require as a necessity] My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear [them] from heaven, and forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chronicles 7:14, AMP). Are you willing to humble yourself, confess your need, and allow God to transform you? Are you willing to seek His face with all your heart? Be ready to awake and surrender completely.

Awake, O sleeper! The Spirit of God is ready to do a new work in you, but He is waiting for your surrender. Will you yield every corner of your heart to Him today? Let Him remove the heart of stone and replace it with a heart alive to His presence. Let His light shine in every area of your life, and allow His power to transform you from the inside out. Radical transformation begins with complete surrender—and God is faithful to finish the work He begins in you. It’s time to awake and surrender fully.

Prayer of Transformation

Lord God, we come before You humbled and ready to surrender. We confess that we cannot change ourselves; we need the power of Your Holy Spirit to transform us. Show us the areas where we are still resisting You, and give us the courage to yield them completely. Remove the hardness in our hearts and replace it with hearts that are tender and alive to Your will. Flood every corner of our lives with Your light and drive out every trace of darkness. We fully yield to You, Lord—do the deep, life-changing work that only You can do. Awaken us, renew us, and make us vessels for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Now, ask yourself: Is God calling me to take the next step? Am I holding anything back from Him? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal what He desires for your life and respond to His voice. Surrender fully to God today, and let Him do the miraculous work of transforming your heart. Awake and surrender to His will completely.

Trust God, Return to Him

My friends, the Bible is filled with the cries of a loving God, pleading for His people to return to Him, to trust Him, and to walk in His ways. He has proven Himself faithful in every generation, and He is calling you today. Trust God and return to Him now.

The Lord says, “Return to Me, and I will return to you” (Malachi 3:7). He has not forgotten you, and He has not abandoned you. He is near, waiting for you to turn back to Him. He promises, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you [nor give you up nor leave you without support]” (Hebrews 13:5).

Throughout history, God has revealed His power to save and His heart to forgive. Trust and return to God, for He is merciful:

  • “The Lord will fight for you while you [only need to] keep silent and remain calm” (Exodus 14:14). He delivered Israel from Pharaoh’s armies, and He will deliver you from whatever enslaves you.
  • He said to Joshua, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). That same God is with you today.
  • “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed” (Isaiah 54:17). In Christ, you are more than a conqueror.

The psalmist declared, “The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?” (Psalm 27:1). “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). My friends, if your heart is broken, if your spirit is crushed, you are not alone. God is near to you right now, and He is ready to lift you up. Trust God who is near, and return to Him for He is ready to lift you up.

Jesus Himself said, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). He offers you peace—not as the world gives, but as only He can give (John 14:27).

Have you wandered away? Have you let the cares of this life pull you from God? He says, “Even if your sins are as scarlet, they will be as white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). “I will forgive their wickedness, and I will no longer remember their sin” (Jeremiah 31:34). Trust God and return to Him, for His mercy endures.

He loves you so much that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for you. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16). There is no greater love!

Today, God is calling you to trust Him. To let go of fear. To turn from sin. To run back to Him. He says, “You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13). Trust God, return to Him. Will you come?

Pray This:

“Lord, I have wandered far, but today I hear Your voice. You are my refuge, my strength, my Savior. Forgive me, cleanse me, and restore me. I place my trust in You, Lord Jesus, and I surrender my life to You. Lead me, guide me, and teach me to walk in Your ways. Thank You for Your love and Your grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”

And remember, my friends: “If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us?” (Romans 8:31). God loves you. Trust Him, return to Him. He will never fail you!

Arise 2

A Call to Awaken the Remnant

Beloved,

In these latter days, as the shadows lengthen and the hearts of many grow cold, we, the cherished of the Lord, must heed the call to awaken. For the Holy One of Israel has always preserved a remnant—a faithful few who hold fast to His covenant and walk in His ways. This is not a time for slumber, but for vigilance and fervent devotion.

The prophet Isaiah spoke of this remnant, saying, “Now in that day, the remnant of Israel, and those of the house of Jacob who have escaped, will never again rely on the one who struck them, but will truly rely on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel. A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob, to the mighty God. For though your people, O Israel, may be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant within them will return; the destruction is determined, overflowing with justice” (Isaiah 10:20-22 AMP).

Even now, as in the days of old, there is a remnant, chosen by grace. Paul the Apostle affirmed this truth, writing, “So too at the present time there is a remnant [a small believing minority], selected [chosen] by grace [God’s unmerited favor and graciousness]” (Romans 11:5 AMP).

And the prophet Joel declared, “And it shall come about that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, as the Lord has said, even among the remnant [of survivors] whom the Lord calls” (Joel 2:32 AMP).

Beloved, we are that remnant, chosen not for our worthiness, but by the unsearchable grace of our Lord. This sacred calling is a trust, a divine mandate to be His light in the encroaching darkness, to be the salt that preserves His truth and love.

Let us, therefore, arise and fulfill our calling:

1. Renew Our Commitment: Draw near to the Lord with sincere hearts, deepening our communion through prayer, worship, and the diligent study of His Word. Let us be vigilant, steadfast in our faith.

2. Stand for Righteousness: In a world where the lines of morality are blurred, we must stand unyielding upon the foundation of God’s truth. Let us be voices crying out in the wilderness, heralds of His righteousness.

3. Proclaim the Gospel: With boldness and love, let us declare the good news of Jesus Christ. For the harvest is plentiful, and the time is short. Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

4. Support One Another: As members of this sacred remnant, let us strengthen and encourage one another in love and unity. Together, we are stronger, more resilient against the trials we face.

5. Intercede for the World: Let us lift our prayers before the throne of grace, interceding for our nations, leaders, and communities. Our fervent prayers can bring revival and transformation by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Beloved, now is the time to awaken. Rise up and fulfill the holy calling that has been placed upon you. The Lord our God is with us, and His grace is sufficient for every need. Let us be the remnant that shines His light and advances His kingdom upon the earth.
