Bishop David has recorded a series of devotions in The Book of Revelation to take us through the 40 days of Lent from Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday (5 March-13 April).
Day 40
The last in our series of Lent devotions. Bishop David encourages us to take forward what Jesus says to the seven churches in the Book of Revelation and therefore to each one of us.
Day 39
A cord running through the seven letters is the contrast between dead religion and true Gospel faith in Jesus Christ. Don’t settle for religion but instead live a vibrant and effective life with Jesus Christ at the centre.
Day 38
These letters contain clear warnings that we should heed. Be sure that you have put your trust in Jesus Christ. Beware of spiritual drift. Do not settle for an apathetic walk with God.
Day 37
The invitation in all of these letters is both corporate and individual. Rev 3:21, God addresses each member of the church, and promises a wonderful reward to the one who conquers.
Day 36
(Rev 3:20). Jesus continues to knock on the door of the heart of every Christian, waiting for that invitation to come into the very centre of our lives.
Day 35
(Rev 3:20). The experience of conversion to Jesus is expressed here as a banquet, where we feast together with him. Please don’t ignore his knock on the door. Open your heart and invite Jesus in.
Day 34
(Rev 3:19-20). God loves the Church in Laodicea enough to rebuke them and invite them to repent. Let’s respond to Jesus and be restored to fellowship with him.
Day 33
Jesus’ harshest words are to the Church in Laodicea (Rev 3:14-22). The city was famous for banking but this church has failed to find its true wealth in Jesus. It is lukewarm and apathetic. Let us examine our own hearts.
Day 32
By the measures of the world, the Church in Philadelphia was weak, but the Church’s strength always lies in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. We’re encouraged to live a life of faith and dare great things for his kingdom.
Day 31
The letter to the Church in Philadelphia (Rev 3:7-13). Philadelphia is a strategic city and the church is small, however God finds no fault with it. He encourages the Philadelphians (and us) to trust him and his sovereign ways, even when we don’t understand them.
