Friday July 21
Bible Reading: Rev. 3: 1 - 6
Topic: Wake Up
Wake up was the clarion call
of the Lord to the Church in Sardis which had the reputation of being alive,
but was dead.
Sardis was a wealthy city
and the Church was reputed for its wealth, magnificent Church building, charity
work and other notable works, But they were spiritually dead because of sin.
They compromised with the
world and left undone those things which they ought to have done in accordance
with the teachings of the Lord and the Apostles.
The good news is that
there was still some life in that Church which they could hold on to in order
to nurture the Church back to spiritual health.
The Church today mirrors
much of what was going on in Sardis.
Does the Lord know you as one of those who have remained
faithful in the midst of so much worldliness?
Will He count on you as
one of those through whom He will revive the Church?
Are you one of those who
have deviated from the path of truth in pursuit of worldly wealth, fame and
fortune?
We need to repent and
return to the biblical foundations of our faith.
Will you heed that call
today?
Prayer
Help me Lord, by Your
grace, not to slumber but to obey and hold on to Your Teachings, Amen.
Memory Verse Rev. 3: 1
"And unto the Angel
of the Church in Sardis, write: these things saith He that hath the seven
Spirits of God and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou has a name that
thou livest, and art dead."
