The church is the body of christ which should be a stronghold for christians on earth. But so many things have crept into the church which has transformed it into a powerless gathering. In all these things, there is still HOPE for us as christians if only we can come together to look critically and identify the problems and profer solutions through the help of God.
We will be looking at the letters to all the seven churches in REVELATION 2-3 one after the other and will be relating it to the present church. May God open our eyes of understanding and reveal those secret things hidden in it!!!
(Note: we take a letter per week)...

The first letter to the angel of the church of ephesus(Rev 2vs1-7......
1 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, he that walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks:
2 I know thy works, and thy toil and patience, and that thou canst not bear evil men, and didst try them that call themselves apostles, and they are not, and didst find them false;
3 and thou hast patience and didst bear for my name's sake, and hast not grown weary.
4 But I have `this' against thee, that thou didst leave thy first love.
5 Remember therefore whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou repent.
6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
