Stay Awake!
1 Thessalonians 5:6
[6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
Sleep is good but there are times when it is not required to sleep. Just like staying awake to read due to an examination, so we are to stay awake due to Christ's soon coming.
Sleeping here entails negligence and recklessness towards a particular expected event. Like in the case of exams, it is playing, not being studious and doing non academic activities.
Christ's coming ought to keep us MORE awake, sober and watchful because none knows the time and none will like to remain after rapture. Be spiritually studious, watchful and awake. Continue in the kingdom of God, Rom. 14:17 and don't entertain another gospel (ideas, philosophy and man made doctrines and teachings), Gal. 1:6-9, 2 Cor. 11:4.
Beloved, we are of the day and not the night, hence let us be alert, watchful, cautious, and on our guard, also being calm, collected, and circumspect because of Christ's work. Shalom!!
