Bible Reading: Have You Been Sealed?
Topic: Rev. 9: 1 - 12
The scene now shifts to
the abyss, the home of demons, a smoke filled bottomless pit.
When it was unlocked by a
fallen star, locusts armed for battle emerged.
Note their description and
appearance in vs. 7 - 10a.
The assignment of these
strange and fearful locusts was to spare all vegetation which is usually the
food for locusts and torment humans who did not bear God's seal on their
forehead - the mark on those who were authentic children of God.
The punishment would last
for five months and the pain would be so great that victims would prefer death.
Unfortunately, they would not get their wish to die.
As we saw in Rev. 7
(reading of August 1), the Holy Spirit is God's seal on those who belong to
Him. Now is the time of salvation. now is the time to acquire that God's seal
)2 Cor. 6: 2) by confessing and repenting of your sins, and asking Jesus to
come into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour.
This step admits you into
the family of God and you would receive the Holy Spirit with Whom He seals all
those who belong to Him. (2 Cor. 1: 22)
You need this seal.
Prayer
Saviour, draw me closer to
You, Amen.
Memory Verse Rev. 9: 4
"And it was commanded
them (the locusts) that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither
any green thing, neither any tree: but only those men which have not the seal
of God in their foreheads"
