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.

PRAYER POINTS:
START WITH PRAISE & WORSHIP..
1. Appreciate God for His word of wisdom.
2. Use the blood of Jesus to intercede for your Sin of deceit and hypocrisy.
3. Pray that God should make you remain steadfast and not to veer off from Him. 
4. Ask God to help you overcome pride and the pursuit of vanities.

Don’t Look Back!

By Date -
Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Faulty Covenant

By Date -
Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...

Entering His Rest

By Date -
Entering His Rest Hebrews 4:3 KJV For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Total Increase and Perfect Rest 2016 was given by God. Looking at REST again, we found out there is no rest without believing in God the rest author and giver. Rest in this context is not death but a state of no physical struggles before benefits. Rest is a state of divine favour, no toiling all night and nothing to show. Believing in God is the prerequisite to entering His rest. His disciples entered into rest because 'At His word they cast their net', Luke 5:5; likewise the Zarephath woman in 1 Kings 17:15. Joshua and Caleb, and others that benefits from the gospel and entered into God's rest didn't enter by struggles but just by BELIEVING IN GOD THE GIVER OF REST, Joshua 21:44-45. Remember there's no believing without work, Numbers 13...
