TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today I
TEXT: Rev. 3:14-22
MESSAGE
Probably we are in the last age of the seven ages as it is observed in this chapter. As it was with the church at Laodicea, so churches are numerous today. There is no gainsaying the fact that churches organisations are counted amongst the wealthiest organisations as the soul winning has become very enterprising and competitive. The fact that churches are very rich in financial and material resources has spiritually impoverished and enslave them through the vanities of the world. They have neglected the truth, the WORD and rejected the working and anointing of the Holy Spirit and so they are highly infested by all the spiritual pitfalls characterized by the church in Laodicea.
The Holy Spirit which was the center and played the vital role in the central stage over time has been locked outside, leaving the church in gross spiritual darkness as the glory of the lord seems to depart. Even the church leaders and ministers of the gospel as their churches grow in numerical and financial strength have open wide the doors of deceit, hypocrisy, adultery, ritualistic services etc bringing the church to both moral and spiritual bankruptcy. Church today is degenerating into a mere religious echo and no longer the irresistible voice ladened with divine authority and power of God. Verse 17 of our text says,
"Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:"
Brethren, this is the worst of all the seven churches in Asia opposite even to the church at Philadelphia. Beloved, let us Clear our opinions and conscience, and endeavour to be really what God wants us to be. Absorb the good counsel of Christ and do not cast them behind. God bless you and good day.
