Bible Reading: Rev. 10: 1 - 11
Topic: No More Delay
This chapter opens with
the profile of an angel who is mighty, surrounded by cloud, has rainbow above
his head, with a face shining like the sun and feet like pillars of fire.
He stands with his right
foot in the sea and his left foot on the land - symbol of power and authority
over the land and sea.
His voice roars like a
lion and stimulates a thunderous reply.
Then he swore by Him Who
lives forever; the Creator of Heaven and Earth and all that is in it
"there will be no more delay ..."
This declaration is made
in the Name of the Most High: "The mystery of God" (hidden over the
years) namely
i. the casting out of satan
ii. the victory of God over the forces of evil forever
iii. the reinstatement of man into his lost
inheritance
will soon take place.
Scoffers that taunted:
"where is the promise of His coming . . . ?" (2 Pet. 3: 4) Here it
is!!
No pilgrim should give up
"for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed" (Rom.
12: 11)
No more delay
No more delay
Prayer
My faith looks up to Thee;
Thou Lamb of Calvary. Inspire my zeal and be my Guide to the end" Amen.
(Rev. Ray Palmer)
Memory Verse Rev. 10: 4
"And when the seven
thunders had uttered their voices, I was about to write: and, I heard a voice
from heaven saying unto me: Seal up those things which the seven thunders
uttered and write them not."
(The Daily Devotional Guide of the Church of Nigeria Anglican Communion)
