Wake Up Call Message on Retooling Moment
Wake-Up Call Message
“In that day people will look to their Maker and turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel.” — Isaiah 17:7
TOPIC: Retooling Moment
Introduction — Refitting Our Toolbox
Our first business on earth is to seek the Source of our tools.
- Input tools of governance: power, wealth, wisdom — gifts that flow from the Spirit of God.
- Output tools of dominion: honour, glory, praise — returns we offer back to God.
When God called Moses, He asked, “What is that in your hand?” (Exodus 4:2). The staff, sword, or prophetic word in each era still matters today. What’s in your hand right now?
Problem — Misdirected at the Critical Hour
Our Maker often summons us “from midnight to dawn,” yet many leaders—called to be modern-day deliverers—are:
- Distracted by pleasure (debauchery)
- Diverted by conflict (altercation)
- Disconnected in deep sleep (spiritual lethargy)
When the call comes, empty hands or busy hands cannot receive the assignment.
Challenge — The Digital Toolbox
Today, the computer is our toolbox, and its four “compass points” guide our service gifts:
Compass Point | Digital Toolkit | Spiritual Gift Focus |
---|---|---|
North | Networking | Mercy & Giving |
East | Ethernet (Connectivity) | Organization & Helps |
South | Software | Prophecy & Discernment |
West | Website | Teaching & Shepherding |
Starting each day with Heaven’s download keeps us obedient and disciplined.
Solution — Watch-Time Devotion
Our liability to family, colleagues, and congregations is shaped by how we open our daily “turnover time”:
- Altar Dream Time: 12 am–6 am / Sabbath — spiritual planning and worship
- Work Development Time: 6 am–6 pm / weekdays — execution and stewardship
- Family Devotion Time: 6 pm–12 am / social days — relationship building
At every watch, we decide: Who rules our pursuit—God or Mammon?
Conclusion — Living Wisely in a Digital Age
The world has become a global village; technology now fulfils ancient prophecy by connecting everyone and everything.
Yet, we must choose our tools wisely:
- Good knowledge brings light, life, and love — through Word study, the Lord’s Prayer, and spiritual meditation.
- Evil knowledge leads to darkness, death, and division — through secrecy, ignorance, and negativity.
As stewards of 24/7 digital business models, let us guard our purpose and balance both strengths and weaknesses — offering all honour, glory, and praise back to our Maker.
