The Church In Laodicea- Revelations 3:14-22 by stoneinzion(f): 9:22pm On Jul 14, 2014
The Church in Laodicea is like the church of today. Neither hot nor cold. Caring more about acquiring wealth. Believing that he that has the most wealth is the most blessed of the Lord. So we come to God praying for breakthroughs financially. We pray and fast to get that dream cohtract and dream jobs. We dedicate houses and cars and bless the name of the Lord for prospering us financially.

But what does the Master of our soul say in the face of this prosperity? He said we are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
He longs to cloth us. To cover our unclothedness. The make us rich. To remove the blindfolds that the enemy has used on us.
He is standing at the door, knocking. Waiting for an invite. He longs for intimacy with his children. A strong yearning and desire for Him. Not coming to Him only when in trouble or for a quick fix.
There is so much lukewarmness in the church today. But the decision still lies with us. To take a stand for Him. And make ourselves ready for his coming.
There is no better time than now.

Mathew 16: 21- 27
This generation of christians are savouring the things of this world more and more everyday. The things of God has become repulsive. Nobody wants to behold the cross. But remember He said that if we must reign with him, we must also suffer with him. We only want to reign. If we really want to be with Him, we must take up our cross daily and follow Him. We must die to self daily. crucify the desires of this flesh eveyday so that His spirit can come alive in our lives.
There is no hope in reigning with Him if we reject His Spirit here on earth for it is only the Spirit that can lead is into all truth. He has given us His spirt to Teach and to Guide us.

Let us return to Him for healing. Let Him heal every hurt and brokenness and give us the strength to live for Him alone.
Let Him wash us clean and make us whole again.
Let us retrace our steps to the cross and lay all our burdens there so that this race will be easier for us. We carry too many unnecessary baggage. We need to let go.

The ONE that died for your sins is waiting with open arms. Please don't resist Him any longer. Let Him heal you and help you find your purpose in life. His heart is aching for you. Please return to your maker.

1 John 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.
