Overcomers!

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. We thank God for His amazing love and care for us.

Primary Text:

“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. 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. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Revelations 3v4-6 (KJV)

Beloved, let’s think and look ahead. Is your name written in the Book of life? Or is it on the verge of being erased? Repent and turn back to God! Now, even in the church in Sardis, which was said to be alive but dead, there were still some that the Lord identified as not having soiled their clothes. Beloved, don’t be disillusioned to think everyone is sinning and getting away with it, and you are all in the same boat. No – you can stand out and stand for the truth. We will all individually give an account for how we lived our lives: “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God (Romans 14v12, KJV), so “… I beg you to live the way God’s people should live, because He chose you to be His” (Ephesians 4v1, ERV). And as you see in the Church in Sardis, there are those whose garments are still white – basically, it is possible to overcome even when all others seem not to be. Don’t be afraid to stand out and stand for the truth. If you are finding it hard at the moment, ask for God to connect you to godly friends. Remember, Elijah thought he was the only one left who had not kneeled to Baal, but God said there were seven thousand he had reserved who had not done so (1 Kings 19v14-18).

Prayer

Father, we thank You for Your Word this day. We thank You for what the Spirit is saying to the Church. We thank You for the Book of life. We ask that You keep us by Your power.
