Revelation 22:17
You have a invitation
from the Lord today to have your life transformed and taken to another level…
There is a door that is upon unto all mankind and the word of acceptance is
found in the word which is repeated throughout this verse come… It doesn’t matter the mistake, the decision or the flaw, God
reveals to John that He desires you to come… It doesn’t matter how
far you have fallen or how much you have messed up in your journey of life, God
wants you to know that all is not lost, stumbling blocks can become stepping
stones and the missteps of yesterday can be corrected by your decision today to come before Him… The spirit of God knocks at the door of your heart
beaconing for you to come unto the will of God to experience the pleasures and
delights that He offers… The bible tells us that every good and perfect gift is
from above; you must realize that the good gift you need, the perfect gift you
desire can only come from God… You must align yourself with the will of the
Father, you must put yourself in position to seek the savior, and you must turn
from the desires of mankind and focus on things eternal… Look at the call that
is placed in John’s revelation written in this 22nd chapter… “And let him that heareth say, come. And let him that is athirst
come…” People all across the
world are daily with different types of issues and hardships… The call is
unique to one particular problem, but to all that don’t know Christ… The person
who has heard the ways of this world can now hear the good news of Jesus Christ
bloodshed on Calvary… The person
who has thirsted after the successes of this world can now drink from the
rivers of life and never thirst again… Wherever you are today, know that God
loves you; understand that the call has gone forth and that He desires for you
to “come…” The beginning of this chapter talks about God being the light
for mankind… No longer will you need to worry about seeing when you are under
the authority of God… You won’t have to worry about your steps when they are
ordered by the Lord and you won’t have to worry about falling when you are
walking in His will… John says, “The spirit and the
bride say, come…” Jesus came to this
earth to seek and save that which was lost, the spirit of God is here to guide
and direct us through this treacherous journey that we call life… The call from
the bride and the spirit simple tells me that we have walked in darkness long
enough… We have experienced the weight of sin long enough, we have done things
that displease God long enough and the call is set before us to turn to Him
while we still have time to allow our sins to be forgiven and our slates to be
wiped clean…
Even though the call
is put forth, we must take the step in order to receive it… There are so many
people who are thirsting right now; however, they don’t know where to get the
things to quench there thirst… There are so many people on this earth who are
seeking answers right now; however, they are listening and hearing all the
wrong things… This is why John says that we must take of the “…water of life…” We must understand and come to know that there
is only one source to drink from; there is only one word to hear… The door is
open; however, we must realize that there are multiple doors before us… We can
hear the word of God, but we also can give ear to words of discouragement,
words of fear and words of temptation… We can thirst for His righteousness;
however, we also can find ourselves thirsting for acceptance, thirsting for
power and thirsting for material things… Whatever you are facing today, know
that the call of God is the choice to take and be made… I’m pretty sure you can
look back on your life and realize how many times you followed the broad road
as oppose to the narrow road and where did it get you…? I am pretty sure you
can think of a time in which you followed the path that many men have traveled
as oppose to the path that God has carved uniquely for you and where did you
end up? Today, stop drinking from the fountains of deceit and manipulation;
stop drinking from the fountains of worthlessness and self pity; instead drink
from the fountain of salvation, drink from the fountain of hope, drink from the
fountain of restoration, drink from the fountain of eternal security; drink
from the remembrance of Christ’s death on the cross… Christ gave His life for
us; when He was about to be handed over to the courts, Christ had one final
meal with His disciples… At the meal He offered bread and wine, after giving
thanks He said this is my blood that is shed for you, drink this blood in
remembrance of me… Matthew 26: 27-29 says, “Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to
them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant,
which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you, I will
not drink from this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink
it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.” Know that in losing your worldly life, you shall fine your
eternal home… Drink all of the trials you face, drink the cup that has been
placed before you because you will have another cup in the father’s kingdom…Drink
ye all of it!!!
BE BLESSED!!!
