DATE: THURSDAY AUGUST 18TH, 2022.


THEME: LETTER TO THE PHILADELPHIAN CHURCH 1


MEMORISE: 

That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 

1 Peter 1:7 


READ: Revelation 3:11 -13

11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.


12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.


13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.


MESSAGE

Jesus was full of praises for the Philadelphian Church. He also gave them several promises, only warning them to hold fast. Such a beautiful letter!


in AD 17, Philadelphia experienced a lot of earthquakes. The tremors kept the people of Philadelphia constantly alert.


When people have no troubles, they feel so relaxed and assume that they don't need God. That is why 1 Peter 1:7 says that trials come to strengthen our faith. The reason you see so much revival in Africa these days than in developed world is probably that what we have to pray for in the developing countries is always provided by the respective governments of nation of developed world. Thus, we have no choice than to do as David did in Psalm 121:1-3 - to look up to the Lord from whence cometh our help.


Once in a while when God sees that a Christian is beginning to fall into spiritual sleep, He sends a trial to wake him up, l believe one of the reasons Solomon started worshipping idols is that after building the temple, he became idle and forget God. You must always look for new mountains to conquer, you must always say, like Caleb in Joshua 14:12 "...give me this mountain". Don't ever feel relaxed as if you don't need God. If after building the temple, Solomon had decided to advance the Kingdom of God further, he would have had the constant need to rely on God. If you have made a lot of money, use the money to start organising outreaches for the sinners and the poor. Just remain busy for God, asking for new mountains to conquer all the time and you will never forget Him.


History tells us that the Philadelphian Church was a mission-minded one. The members were always witnessing and sending people out on missions. When the Mohammedans came to Asia Minor and all the other Churches collapsed, the Philadelphian Church stood firm. There is still a Church in Philadelphia to date. This tell us very clearly that if you are always witnessing, if you are always winning souls, the devil will not be able to make you fall.


KEY POINT 

If you want your faith to last to the end, become a soul winner.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 45-49


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 9: I'VE A MESSAGE FROM THE LORD

It is only that you “look and live.”


Refrain:

“Look and live,” my brother, live.

Look to Jesus now and live.

’Tis recorded in His Word, Hallelujah!

It is only that you “look and live.”


2 I’ve a message full of love, Hallelujah!

A message, O my friend, for you.

’Tis a message from above, Hallelujah!

Jesus said it, and I know ’tis true. 


3 Life is offered unto you. Hallelujah!

Eternal life your soul shall have

If you’ll only look to Him. Hallelujah!

Look to Jesus, who alone can save. 


4 I will tell you how I came, Hallelujah!

To Jesus when He made me whole:

’Twas believing on His name, Hallelujah!

I trusted and He saved my soul.

DATE: WEDNESDAY AUGUST 17TH, 2022.


THEME: LETTER TO THE CHURCH OF SARDIS 2


MEMORISE: 

For many are called, but few are chosen. 

Matthew 22:14 


READ: Revelation 3:3 -6

3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.


4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.


5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.


6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.


Matthew 24:42 -44

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.


43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.


44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.


MESSAGE

Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

Revelation 3:4


The Church in Sardis must have been fairly big, but Jesus said only a few of them had not soiled their garments. These few must have been called fanatics, but Jesus called them worthy ("for they are worthy"). Even though the world around us now is extremely corrupt, there would always be a few who will not stain their garments. Are you among such few that the Lord considers worthy?


Here are the things Jesus said concerning these few:

They will walk with Him in white because they are worthy to do so. Their names will be found in the book of life. He will confess their names before God and angels.


I want to be amongst these few: What about you?


For those who are not amongst the few, those who don't do His will and have soiled their garments, He is saying: He will come upon them like a thief. They will not be clothed in white along with Him. Their names will not be found in the book of life, but rather in the book of death.


When the raptures happen, these people will not be prepared, so just like a thief takes his or her victims by surprise and steals from them, so will the rapture do to these ones (Matthew 24:43). By God's grace, l am prepared. Thus, if the rapture happens now, by the grace of God l will be smiling. The unfortunate thing is that there will be many people in this second set.


Jesus said that, to be amongst the few, you must overcome. You must overcome temptations, the lures of the devil, and the world!


If you want to be amongst the few whose names will be found in the book of life, then you must ensure that you live a holy life from now. Study your Bible daily, don't miss Christian fellowships, pray without ceasing, preach the word and do the work of God. I pray that you make it to heaven on the last day, in Jesus' name.


REFLECTION 

If rapture takes place today, will you make it to heaven?

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 41-44


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 8: I'M PRESSING ON THE UPWARD WAY

1 I’m pressing on the upward way,

New heights I’m gaining every day;

Still praying as I onward bound,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

 

Refrain:

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand

By faith on Canaan’s tableland;

A higher plane than I have found,

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.


2 My heart has no desire to stay

Where doubts arise and fears dismay;

Though some may dwell where these abound,

My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.


3 I want to live above the world,

Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;

For faith has caught the joyful sound,

The song of saints on higher ground.


4 I want to scale the utmost height

And catch a gleam of glory bright;

But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,

Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL 


DATE: TUESDAY AUGUST 16TH, 2022.


THEME: LETTER TO THE SARDIS CHURCH 1


MEMORISE: 

And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. 

Romans 13:11 


READ: Revelation 3:1 -3

1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.


2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.


3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.


MESSAGE 

Historical records have it that the city of Sardis was besieged and overpowered by various nations at different times, primarily because the inhabitants are not as watchful as they should have been. This same carelessness that was prevalent in the city has entered the Church. Except for a few people in the Church in Sardis who had not soiled their garment, there was no good thing for Jesus to say about them. Jesus said they should be watchful and strengthen the things that were remaining and about to die (Revelation 3:1-3).


These people were slack in upholding their faith. You cannot be a good Christian if you are not disciplined. Any Christian who is lazy about their faith will soil their garment. John 5:17 says: 

But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and l work.


Some Christians are so lazy that they offer Pastors money to pray and fast for them. God will not accept such fasting and prayer. If you cannot fast and pray by yourself, you don't read your Bible, you don't attend fellowships, you don't work in the vineyard of God, you don't evangelise, then you are dying spiritually. It is only a matter of time before sin creeps in and you find yourself back in the world. If you want to stand firm in Christ until the end, you must be watchful!


Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 1 Corinthians 10:12


What are the things that you must watch out for as a Christian?

You must watch against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). You must watch against temptations (Matthew 26:41). You must watch out against false teaching by reading you Bible yourself (Acts 20:29-30). You must watch out against sub-standard or lazy service to God because He will judge your service (Revelation 3:2). Lastly you must watch out for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ because no one knows the date or the time that he will come (Matthew 24:42-43).


KEY POINT 

Christians must be disciplined and watchful.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Isaiah 37-40


AUTHOR: PASTOR E.A. ADEBOYE 


HYMN 6: HO MY COMRADES SEE THE SIGNAL 

1. Ho, my comrades, see the signal, waving in the sky!

Reinforcements now appearing, victory is nigh.


Refrain:

“Hold the fort, for I am coming,” 

Jesus signals still;

Wave the answer back to heaven, 

“By Thy grace we will.”


2. See the mighty host advancing, 

Satan leading on,

Mighty ones around us falling, 

courage almost gone!


3. See the glorious banner waving, 

Hear the trumpet blow!

In our Leader’s Name we 

triumph over every foe.


4. Fierce and long the battle rages, 

but our help is near,

Onward comes our great Commander, 

cheer, my comrades, cheer!
