Awakening the Church

"Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
(Ephesians 5:14 NIV)

Welcome to this 5-day devotional focused on Reclaiming Easter for Jesus!

Somewhere along the way, Easter became more about chocolate eggs, hot cross buns, and fluffy bunnies than the earth-shattering, eternity-defining truth of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Year after year, we watch the same cycle unfold - supermarket shelves overflow with seasonal treats, while the message of the cross gets sidelined. Maybe we sigh, shake our heads, or even mutter frustrations under our breath. But here’s the real question: What are we actually doing about it?

This devotional is a call to action -a rallying cry for believers across our nation to awaken from spiritual complacency and reclaim Easter as a season of revival and renewal.

We’ve seen it happen with Christmas. The twinkling lights, wrapped presents, and holiday feasts have overshadowed the true meaning of Christ’s birth. And now, Easter - our most powerful proclamation of victory - is at risk of being reduced to just another holiday.

But we are not a silent Church. We are not a people who simply accept what culture dictates. We are light-bearers, truth-proclaimers, and resurrection people!

Ephesians 5 urges us to wake up! The Church cannot afford to stay asleep while the world stumbles in darkness. If we don’t boldly declare the risen Christ, who will? If we don’t stand firm in faith, who will lead the lost to salvation?

Let’s be clear - chocolate eggs won’t save a soul. Pastel decorations won’t break chains. Bunnies won’t bring eternal hope. Only Jesus can do that.

And no, this isn’t about cancelling Easter egg hunts or stripping away moments of joy with loved ones. This is about keeping those traditions in their proper place -secondary to the unmatched, unshakable, and unstoppable power of the Risen King.

So, will you join this movement? Will you be part of the Church that awakens and reclaims Easter?

The time is now. Rise up!
