Day 30
Rev 3:1-5. An invitation to wake up and to become the Church that God intends, invading the world with the light of the Gospel.
Day 29
There are times when God visits his Church with judgement (Rev 3:3). Nothing is ever hidden from Jesus Christ, so let us examine our hearts and the hearts of our churches. Are they beating with a zealous love for him?
Day 28
The letter to the Church in Sardis (Rev 3:1-5) which was commended only for its reputation of being alive, however it was dead – inoffensive, safe and ineffective. Churches, beware of falling into this trap.
Day 27
Another neglected truth in today’s Church is that there are consequences if we don’t repent of sinful habits and lifestyles. On the other hand, wonderful blessings flow to those who repent (Rev 2:24-29).
Day 26
Rev 2:20-22, the Church in Thyatira is reprimanded for its tolerance of sexual immorality and sinful sexual practices. But God is gracious. Today, we also are called to repent, to experience forgiveness and to walk in humble obedience to his Word.
Day 25
The letter to the Church in Thyatira (Rev 2:18-29). Thyatira is a smaller town and a smaller church, but God commends them for their works, love, faith, service, and perseverance. Be encouraged that a small church can make a difference for good in its community.
Day 24
We must be wise in our decisions, ruthless in our pursuit of a holy life. If we are not, God will come and purify his Church. Let us put away anything that prevents us from seeking first his kingdom.
Day 23
The letter to the Church in Pergamum (Rev 2:12-17). Pergamum was the seat of political power in Asia, famous as a centre of learning and of pagan worship. There were temptations for the followers of Jesus to compromise with the culture around them. We face the same challenge.
Day 22
The Christians in Smyrna have found the strength to endure imprisonment, persecution and poverty. They are rich because they know Christ and this letter encourages them not to be overcome with fear but to be faithful.
Day 21
The letter to the Church in Smyrna (Rev 2:8-11). Smyrna was a great trading city loyal to Rome and to become a Christian there was to invite persecution. When we choose to follow Christ we are not promised freedom from hardship but we are called to remain faithful.
