Bible Reading: Rev. 3: 7 -13
Topic: God Knows Our Deeds
Jesus the One Who holds
the key of David, sent a very comforting message of encouragement to the Church
in Philadelphia.
He commended the Church
for their faithful witness in hard times and the reward for their faithfulness
would be three-fold: an open door that no one could shut; reverence from their
enemies who would acknowledge God's love for the Church; and protection from
the coming trial.
But He also admonished
them to remain steadfast, since only those who patiently overcome would retain
their crowns and be recognized in the Temple of God.
Today, Christians are
suffering all over the world and in Nigeria we are facing economic, social and
political crises.
These have brought untold
hardship to many families. Yet the Lord is looking for those who will not deny
Him but hold onto His promises.
Will you be among those
who will be found worthy or among those who will compromise or lose their faith?
Do not give up, the
Scripture has good news for you - our God will never fail on His promises. (2
Cor. 1: 20)
There are open doors and
protection waiting for those who trust Him and remain faithful in difficult
times.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, grant me
Your grace to be able to stand in the face of trials, Amen.
Memory Verse Rev. 3: 7
"And to the Angel of the
Church in Philadelphia write: These things saith He that is Holy, He that is
True, He that hath the Key of David, He that openeth and no man shutteth; and
shutteth and no man openeth."
