Revelation 14:6-7
There will be no area of land on this earth which will not hear the word of the Lord… No matter the authority or dictatorship of the land, the word of God reveals to us today that the seeds of the gospel will be planted; however, the flower to bloom will be entirely up to the land which bears the seed... This passage serves a good news to know that all will have a chance to come to know our Lord and Savior; however, this passage also reminds us that the hour of judgment is closer than we imagined… You may think you have until you want to get your life in order, but the word of God tells me that once the land has heard of the Salvation of Jesus Christ than the hour of judgment shall be upon us… John reveals to us today the glory and mercy that embodies our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ… In his vision he sees a (n) angel in the midst of heaven having the gospel and preaching to them on the earth, to every nation, kindred, and tongue… His instructions are to fear God, give Him glory, for the hour of judgment has come… We all need to hear the word of God in our lives and John informs us today that God not only desires for all to be saved, but that He will not come back until all have heard His word…
There are still parts of this world where bibles are not allowed; however, a day will come when the word will be spread throughout all nations, souls in the darkest of places shall be saved and people of other religions will be converted… This angel of God brought the word to every nation, kindred, tongue and people… This is good news to those who don’t know Christ… This should bring joy to those who have loved ones traveling the wrong paths… This message tells me that it doesn’t matter where they are, what they are doing or who they is “lord” over their lives; they will hear the word of God and have a choice to make… This passage should be encouraging to all who partake of it, we need to understand that God doesn’t want to see any perish, He doesn’t want to see you or I left on the side of the road, but He shows us through John what the meaning of unconditional love is. The bible tells me that love keeps no record of wrongs and that God is love… If we believe that love keeps no records of wrongs, how many of us can say that we TRULY LOVE someone? Love is the ability to see what others can’t and look beyond what others may see as a (n) obstacle… God can see the bright future in you that others can’t and He can look beyond your faults and flaws to pave the way for you to receive His wonderful blessings… Love is sacrifice; it is accepting imperfection and learning to grow together despite the distance that seems to be between you and them… God’s love is on display here, He will blot out all your transgressions, He will hear your faintest cry, He is ready to open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing! The bible teaches us that Christ will return when His gospel has spread throughout the world, everyone will be given a chance to receive eternal life; everyone will be presented a (n) opportunity to turn from their wickedness and follow Jesus… God’s desire is that all would come to know Him and receive Him…
The ball is in your court, it doesn’t matter whether you are of the circumcised or uncircumcised, black or white, smart or dumb, joyful or miserable… God loves all and wants to see us walking the streets that are paved with gold, He wants to see us celebrating in His kingdom where Sabbath will have no end, and worry will be an afterthought! In order to receive this blessing you must do two things which John reveals to us through his great Revelation; the first thing is that you must fear God… This means to revere Him, respect Him, and admire Him… A lot of people view fear as a negativity emotion; however, in fearing God we recognize His power and might and He is constantly on our mind and in our hearts… When we fear God we serve Him every day of our lives, which leaves no room for the enemy to ensnare us or lead us down the wrong path… This fear will keep us on the straight and narrow, this fear will help us in our decision making, and this fear will keep us from the traps and snares of the enemy… Second, you must give Him glory, this is not done by what you say, but by what you do (your actions)… Giving God glory isn’t done just during the good times, but each and every day of your life… Glory is beauty, wonder or credit… When we give God glory we are crediting Him with our change in life, we exalt Him by our living because we recognize that victory, success and prosperity all flow from His blood… God deserves to be glorified even in the midst of hardships, not only because things could be worse, but because you are still hear and able to feel (you’re alive and continue to come through)… Today let us focus on giving God glory with our life, present your body a living sacrifice, understand that this is not easy, but that if we accept the word of God (preached by the angel) and believe it in our hearts, we will be saved and will not suffer the wrath that once awaited us…
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
