LAODICEA: THE LUKEWARM CHURCH (III)

3^RD DECEMBER, 2021

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Romans 4-7

FIRE SCRIPTURE:  Revelation 3:14 – 22

14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 

15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 

16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 

17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked

18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 

20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 

21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

22 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

MEMORY VERSE: ” To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne” – Revelation 3:21

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:

To overcome the wiles of the devil is to be consistent with Christ in our fellowship and devotion.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I DECREE THAT NO POWER SHALL KEEP YOU AWAY FROM THE ALTAR OF GOD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

THE MESSAGE:

We have already established that the Laodecia Church was lukewarm. Now, we also have so many churches and individuals who are lackadaisical in the things of God. Perhaps, because they are materially comfortable, they feel they do not need God or anybody for that matter. When you approach some individuals to preach the gospel, they will assess you from your head to your toes, hiss and go away.

A prominent man of God was invited to the birthday party of someone of high social status. The man of God said that he had already prepared the sermon he was going to preach and had prayed on it. He sat down when he got to the venue and the rich, mighty and famous personalities in the society were there with their expensive clothes and jewelry. In fact, it was like a fashion competition. When it was time to preach his sermon, the servant of God said that the Holy Spirit told him to change his sermon and preach something else, titled "You Need a Miracle". He was arguing in his mind that, "Ha, this very rich people? Miracle?" Nonetheless, he changed the sermon and preached the message of the Holy Spirit, "You need a Miracle". After the sermon, the celebrant came out and said that the message was for him. What happened? His first son was an imbecile.

Beloved, Christ is knocking on the door of a lukewarm church and the heart of individuals. He desires to come in and restore His companionship and blessing with the people. To those who remain devoted and strong in their faith and are overcomers in the midst of a lukewarm church, Christ promises that they will share in His authority and ultimately reign with Him. You want to reign with Him? Then you need to repent and restore fellowship with Him; He is calling with open arms.

PRAYER POINTS:
