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…
BE BLESSED!!!
Praise be to our God & Lord! Thank you Shafiq, the above biblical summation is awesome! Blessings
