As we continue to follow the Lord's voice and pathway into the dawn of this new day, we should endeavor to live our lives within the context of prophetic demand and character value. This attitude must be the new normal of our interaction even as we engage with the affairs of life. In the economy of God, one of the key points is the ability to remain faithful regardless of what is happening around us. We would not allow circumstances, events, and people to drift us from the divine pathway.

1 Peter 5:8

8 Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

Learning from the principles of Noah as a pattern of the pioneering new spiritual epoch is teaching how to become more sensitive and cautious from the subtle attacks of the enemy. Noah allowed his sense of arrival and establishment to derail him from the quality-character required of him as the father of the new nation; he lost the sense of vigilance from the subtle attack of the enemy.

Friends, we are called to be sober; meaning, we should not give ourselves to a situation that leads to a position of compromise. Moving towards the direction of heaven's prophetic mandate will require a continual reminding of ourselves of what matters in the current affairs of the Spirit.

Spiritual development in discerning times and season is a key watchword in this season. Noah allowed drunkenness to step into the space of what he was pioneering to the degree that he became vulnerable to the attack of the enemy.  We must not get ourselves drunk; drunkenness from the vineyard he planted was a mistake we should seek to remedy in our time. The further we advance in the current demand of the Spirit, the more crafty the nature of our attack, but if we remain in the pathway of truth and righteousness, the more we will walk in victory.

Genesis 9

20 Noah, a man of the soil, proceeded a to plant a vineyard. 21 When he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and lay uncovered inside his tent. 22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father naked and told his two brothers outside. 23 But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it across their shoulders; then they walked in backward and covered their father’s naked body. Their faces were turned the other way so that they would not see their father naked.
