Loveless                    Persecuted               Compromising

Corrupt                      Dead               Faithful                      Lukewarm

As you read the above words what caught your attention? Do you feel that any of these describe your life?

These are the descriptions of the seven churches that John wrote a message to in Revelation chapter two and three.  Jesus gave John a message to write to these seven churches that were in Israel.

The messages are relevant to our churches today and some scholars believe they also represent church ages or stages the church has gone through.

I believe that these churches can also represent our personal walk with God!

So this morning may I ask you to look at the seven words above and choose the one that describes your walk with the Lord God Almighty?

Jesus Christ died to give us eternal life and He lives to give us abundant life in the here and now.

Do you find yourself LOVELESS? I tell you that God so loved the world He gave and He will never leave us nor forsake us.  You are never Loveless or alone. Come to Jesus.

Do you feel PERSECUTED, like everyone is against you?  The word says “If God is for us who can be against us?” The word also says that “The battle is not ours but God’s.”

Are you COMPROMISING in your actions and deeds? We, as God’s children: His representatives here on earth: are to “come out from the world and be separate.” We live in the world but are not to be in it.  Satan desires to draw you from the purposes of God by enticing you to compromise.

Are your actions and deeds CORRUPT and sinful? Do you walk in rebellion to the truth of the spirit of the living God? Do you forget that God the Father gave His best and wants to Bless you and give you peace but He cannot Bless rebellion? The Word tells us “rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft!”

Do you feel DEAD deep in your innermost being? Have you allowed the things of this Social System and the cares of life to push down and bury the life of God and the dreams and desires He has placed in you? Jesus came to give you life in your innermost being!

Are you a FAITHFUL and willing child of Almighty God loving and serving Him with all that is in you?  Is your walk pleasing to God Almighty because you are Faithful to just Love God and Loves others?

Or do you find yourself LUKEWARM?  Are you not really running hard after God but you’re not walking far away from Him either. His word tells us to “Seek First the Kingdom of GOD!” We are to run this race of life with Jesus as our running partner. Be hot for the eternal things.

Whatever word best describes you may I tell you that Jesus is the answer to change. Come to Him with repentance of the things that are keeping you from the Faithful walk and let Him infuse you with the power, peace, joy and ability to run hard after Him with patience and endurance.

Throw off feelings of not being worthy or worthwhile and walk in your destiny.

If your word is Faithful, just know that God has a deeper understanding of His ways and a more Powerful future for you as you remain Faithful to His word and the desires and dreams that are alive within you.

I desire that today’s thoughts will propel you into a life of great peace and purpose!

May each person who reads this desire to be faithful and allow you to help them live a life that you can Bless.   I ask this in the name of Jesus! Amen

 

You are God’s precious children!
