There is a difference between a believer who is alive and a believer who is standing. God does not merely call you to exist — He calls you to arise. And in Isaiah 60:1, He does exactly that: "Arise, shine; for your light has come."

This Sunday marks the close of Week One of our 21-day fast, and Pastor Augustine Pokoo delivers a word from the throne of heaven — a sovereign command to every believer who has found themselves sitting when God has called them to stand. Drawing from Isaiah 60:1–3, this message confronts the gravitational pull of spiritual stagnation: the routine that replaced relationship, the wounds that became excuses, and the deception of comparing ourselves to those who have fallen further.

But this is not a sermon about your failure. It is a sermon about your future. Because the same verse that commands you to arise also carries the promise that makes it possible: "Your light has come." The light is not ahead of you — it is already within you. Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Join us this Sunday at Life Touch Community Church as we receive our commissioning to arise. The sleeping giant is awake.
