Revelation 3:1 - 6
Be watchful! There’s coming a day when no man will be able to hide. That day is the coming of Jesus. It is possible for a person to sit in a church where the Spirit of God moves freely and be in a backslidden condition. The only thing that can protect you is the blood of Jesus. What we need is friendship with God. God knows the difference between fake and real. Between spiritual and formality. Anybody can be ready for a fixed hour but not many for the hour which no one knows. There’s times in our lives that we have to put things in perspective. Have you left your first love? Don’t be caught up in the trap of the enemy when Jesus comes back. How do you know if you’ve lost your first love? You lose the love/anticipation of going to the House of God. Every single day there should be spiritual growth. PRAY! Come to the house of God! Read God’s Word. Don’t become lukewarm. Put a little action behind the faith.
James 1:21
Do what the Word says! Keep yourself unspotted from the world. Life as we know it is going to come to an end soon. What would it be like to hear the Lord say, “depart from me”? Practice what you preach!
