Congratulations man. These are all really nice.

How did you pull off the final year 5.0s tho?

Thanks, man. I was sad after seeing my 400-level first-semester result and this created a push to finish strong. Formed a team that helped me complete my jobs on Fiverr and Upwork while I focused hard in my final year.

THE CHURCH IN LAODICEA
REV 3:14-22

Christ is the beginning, of the creation of God either of the first creation, and so he is the beginning, that is, the first cause, the creator, and the governor of it or of the second creation, the church and so he is the head of that body.

THE CONTENT OF THE EPISTLE.

1) The heavy charge drawn up against this church, ministers and people, by one who knew them better than they knew themselves Rev 3:1: Thou art neither cold nor hot, but worse than either I would thou wert cold or hot. Lukewarmness in religion is the worst temper in the world. If God be God, follow him, if Baal be God, follow him. Christ expects that men should declare themselves in earnest, either for him or against him.

2)A severe punishment threatened: I will spue thee out of my mouth. He is sick of them, and cannot long bear them. They shall be rejected, and finally rejected for far be it from the Holy Jesus to return to that which has thus rejected.

3) We have one cause of this inconsistency in religion assigned, and that is self conceitedness. They thought they were very well already, and therefore they were very indifferent whether they grew better o not. Perhaps they were well provided for as to their bodies, and this made them overlook the necessities of their soul.
Christ knew that they are not rich, that they were wretched and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked. They were blind they could not see their state, nor their way. They could not see God by faith, though present in them.

4) We have good counsel given by Christ to this sinful people, and that is that they drop their vain and false opinion they had of themselves and endeavour to be that really which they would seem to be.

 Jesus always give the best advice, and that which is most suitable to the sinner's case as here


I) These people were poor, Christ counsels them to buy him gold tried in the fire, that they might be rich. Is I 55:1.

ii) These people were naked,Christ tells them where they might have clothing, and such as would cover the shame of their unclothedness. This they must receive from Christ and they must only put off their filthy rags that they might put on the white raiment which he had purchased and provided for them.

iii) They were blind and he counsels them to buy of him eye-salve, that they might see, to give up their own wisdom and reason, which are but blindness in the things of God, and resign themselves to his word and Spirit, and their eyes shall be opened to see their way.

5) Here is added great and gracious encouragement to this sinful people to take the admonition and advice well that Christ had given them, Rev 3:19-20

I) Whom I love, I rebuke and chasten. You may think I have given you hard words and severe reproofs, it is all out of love to your souls. Sinners ought to take the rebukes of God's word and rod as tokens of his goodwill to their souls, and should accordingly repent in good earnest.

ii) If they would comply with his admonitions, he was ready to make them good to their souls: Behold, I stand at the door and knock Rev 3:20.

Observe that, Christ is graciously pleased by his word and Spirit to come to the door of the heart of sinners he draws near to them in a way of mercy, ready to make them a kind visit.

Those who open to him shall enjoy his presence, to their great comfort and advantage. He will sup with them, he will accept of what is good in them, he will eat his pleasant fruit and he will bring the best part of the entertainment with him.

CONCLUSION OF THE EPISTLE.

1) The promise made to the overcoming believer. It is here implied.

THE CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA
REV 3:7-13

Jesus chooses to represent himself to this church: He that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David. You have his personal character for he cannot but be true to his word. He hath the key of the house of David, the key of government and authority in and over the church.

Observe;

I) He opens the door of opportunity to his churches, he opens a door of utterance to his ministers and he opens the door of admission into the church triumphant, according to the terms of salvation fixed by him.

ii) He shuts the door. When he pleases, he shuts the door of opportunity and the door of utterance, and leaves obstinate sinners shut up in the hardness of their hearts and also shuts the door of church fellowship against unbelievers.

THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS EPISTLE.

1) Christ puts them in mind of what he had done for them: I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it Rev 3:8. So if we do not provoke Christ to shut this door against us, men cannot do it.

2) This church is commended: Thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. There is a little reproof: "Thou hast a little strength, a little grace, which though it be not proportionate to the wide door of opportunity which I have opened to thee- yet is true grace and has kept thee faithful". Obedience, fidelity and a free confession of the name of Christ, are the fruits of true grace, and are pleasing to Christ.

Here is a promise of the great favour God would bestow on this church Rev 3:9-10. This favour consists in two things.

1) Christ would make this church's enemies subject to her. Assemblies that worship false gods, or the true God in a false manner, are the synagogues of Satan: thou they may profess to be the only people of God, their profession is a lie.

2) Their subjection to the church is described: They shall worship at thy feet, not pay a religious and divine honour to the church itself, nor to the ministry of it, but shall be convinced that they have been in the wrong, and they shall desire to be taken into communion with her and that they may worship the same God after the same manner. Christ finished by saying: They shall know that I have loved thee. The greatest honour and happiness any church can enjoy consist in the peculiar love and favour of Christ.

3) Another instance of favour that Christ promises to this church is persevering grace in the most trying times Rev 3:10. The gospel of Christ is the word of his patience. Those who keep the gospel in a time of peace shall be kept by Christ in an hour of temptation. By keeping the gospel, they are prepared for the trial and the same divine grace that has made them fruitful in times of peace will make them faithful in times of persecution.

4) Christ calls the church to that duty which he before promised he would enable her to do, and that is, to persevere, to hold fast that which she had. "Behold, I come quickly . See, I am just a coming to relieve them under the trial, to reward their fidelity, and to punish those who fall away they shall lose that crown which they once seemed to have a right to. The persevering Christian shall win the prize from backsliding professors, who stood fair for it.

THE CONCLUSION OF THIS EPISTLE

After his usual manner, Christ promises a glorious reward to the victorious believer in two things.

THE CHURCH IN SARDIS
REV 3:1-6

1) The body of this epistle. There is this observable in it, that whereas in the other epistles Christ begins with commending what is good in the churches, and then proceeds to tell them what is amiss, in this he begins.

I) With a reproof, and a very severe one: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Hypocrisy and a lamentable decay in religion, are the sins charged against this church.

a) This church had gained a great reputation it had a name, a name for vital lively religion, uniformity in worship e.t.c. Everything appeared well, as to what falls under the observation of men.

b) This church was not really what it was reputed to be. They had a name to live, but they were dead there was a form of godliness, but not the power, there is a great deadness to everything done in the church, that is, preaching, praying, ministrations e.t.c.

ii) Jesus proceeds to give this degenerated church the best advice: Be watchful, and strengthen the things Rev 3:2

a) He advises them to be upon their watch. The cause of their sinful deadness was that they had let down their watch.

b) To strengthen the things that remain and that are ready to die. Some understand this of persons there were some few who had retained their integrity, but they were in danger of declining with the rest. It may be understood of practices as it follows: I have not found thy works perfect before God, their works are hollow and empty, prayers are not filled up with holy desires, arms deeds not filled up with true charity e.t.c.

c) To collect themselves, and remember how they received and heard Rev 3:3 not only to remember what they have received and heard, what messages they had received from God, how welcome the gospel and the grace of God were to them when they first received them.

d) To hold fast what they have received, that they might not lose all, and repent sincerely that they had lost so much of the life of religion, and had run the risk of losing all.

iii) Christ enforces his counsel with a dreadful threatening in case it should be despised: I will come unto thee as a thief, and thou shall not know the hour. Such a visit from Christ will be to their loss, he will come as a thief to strip them of their remaining enjoyments and mercies.

iv) Christ does not leave the sinful people without some comfort and encouragement: In the midst of judgement, he remembers mercy Rev 3:4

a) He makes honorable mention of the faithful remnant in Sardis, though but small: Thou hast a few names in Sardis which have not defiled their garments, they had not given into the prevailing corruption and pollution of the day. God takes notice of the smallest number of those who abide with him and the fewer they are, the more precious in his sight.

b) He makes a very gracious promise to them: They shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy- the white robes of justification, and adoption, and comfort, or in the white robe of honour and glory in the other world.

CONCLUSION OF THE EPISTLE

1) A great reward promised to the conquering Christian Rev 3:5. He that overcometh shall be clothed in white raiment. The purity of grace shall be rewarded with the perfect purity of glory. Now to this is added another promise very suitable to this case: I will not blot his name out of the book of life, but will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

a) Christ has his book of life, a register and roll of all who shall inherit eternal life.

b) The book of remembrance Read more https://naijalearnnewthings..com/2020/05/the-church-in-sardis-rev-31-6-1-body-of.html

THE CHURCH IN THYATIRA
REV 2:18-29

THE INSCRIPTION OF THE EPISTLE.

- The inscription telling us

1) To whom it is directed: To the angel of the church of Thyatira, a town of trade whence came the woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, who being at Philippi in Macedonia heard Paul preach and God opened her heart.

2) By whom it was sent: by the son of God, who is here described as having eyes like a flame of fire and feet like as fine brass. His general title is here, the son of God, that is, the eternal and only begotten Son of God, which denotes that he has the same nature with the Father, but with a distinct and subordinate manner of subsistence.

THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS EPISTLE.

1) The honorable character and commendation Christ gives of this church, ministry and people. In this church Christ makes honorable mention.

I) Of their charity, a disposition to do good to all men.

ii) Their service, their ministration this respects chiefly the officers of the church, who had laboured in the word and doctrine.

iii) Their faith, which was the grace that actuated all the rest, both their charity and service.

iv) Their patience for those that are most charitable to others, most diligent in their places and most faithful must yet expect to meet with that which will exercise their patience.

v) Their growing fruitfulness: their last works were better than the first. It should be the ambition and earnest desire of all Christians that their last works may be their best works; that they may be better and better everyday and best at last.

2) A faithful reproof for what was amiss. This is not so directly charged upon the church itself as upon some wicked seducers who were among them, the church's fault was that she connived too much at them.

I) These wicked seducers were compared to Jezebel. The sin of these seducers was that they attempted to draw the servants of God into fornication and to sacrifice to idols they called themselves prophets and so would claim a superior authority to the ministers of the church. Two things aggravated the sin of these seducers, who being one in their spirit and design, are spoken of as one person.

a) They made use of the name of God to oppose the truth of his doctrine and worship.

b) They asked the patience of God to harden themselves in their wickedness. God gave them space for repentance, but they repented not.

ii) Now why should the wickedness of this Jezebel be charged upon the church of Thyatira? Because that church suffered her to seduce the people of that city; they had not, as a church, civil power to banish her and it is probable that neglecting to use the power they had made them sharers in her sin.

3) The punishment of this seducer, this Jezebel, Rev 2:22-23.

I) I will cast her into a bed, into a bed of pain, not of pleasure, into a bed of flames and those who have sinned with her shall suffer with her but this may yet be prevented by their repentance.

ii) I will kill her children with death, that is, the second death.

4) The design of Christ in the destruction of these wicked seducers. God is known by the judgements that he executes and, by this revenge taken upon seducers, he would make known.

I) His infallible knowledge of the hearts of men, of their principles, their secret inclinations to symbolize with idolaters.

ii) His impartial justice, in giving every one according to his work, that the name of Christians should be no protection, their churches should be no sanctuaries for sin and sinners.

5) The encouragement given to those who keep themselves pure and undefiled. I will lay upon you no other burden but that which ye have already hold fast till I come, Rev 2:24-25. I will not overburden your faith with any new mysteries, nor your consciences with any new laws. I only require your attention to what you have received. Christ is coming to put an end to all the temptations of his people and, if they hold fast faith and a good conscience till he come, all the danger will be over.

CONCLUSION OF THE MESSAGE

1) The promise of an ample reward to the persevering victories believer in two parts.

I) Very great power and dominion over the rest of the world, that is, when believers shall sit down with Christ on his throne of judgement and join with him in trying and condemning...

THE CHURCH OF PERGAMOS

REV 2:12-17

The church of Pergamos was infested with men of corrupt minds, who did what they could to corrupt both the faith and manners of the church and Christ, being resolved to fight against them by the sword of his word.

1) The word of God is a sword, it is a weapon both offensive and defensive, it is in the hand of God, able to slay both sin and sinners.

2) It is a sharp sword. No heart is so hard but it is able to cut it. Heb 4:12

THE CONTENTS OF THE EPISTLE.

1) Christ takes notice of the trials and difficulties this church encountered with: I know thy works and where thou dwellest Rev 2:13. He takes notice of the place where we dwell, he takes notice of all the temptations and discouragements we meet with from the places where we dwell. This people dwelt where Satan's seat was.

2) He commends their steadfastness
I) Thou holdest fast my name thou hast not ashamed of thy relation to me.
ii) That which has made thee thus faithful is the grace of faith.

Jesus aggrandizes the fidelity of this church from the circumstance of the times, as well as of the place where they lived: they had been steadfast even in those days wherein Antipas his faithful martyr was slain among them. Antipas was a faithful disciple of Christ who sealed his faith with his blood in the place where Satan dwelt and they were not discouraged.

3) He reproves them for their sinful failures Rev 2:14: But I have a few things against thee, thou faithful to death, and I will give thee a crown of life because thou hast there those that hold the doctrine of Balaam and those that held the doctrine of the Nicolaitans which thing I hate. There were some who taught that it was lawful to eat things sacrificed to idols and that simple fornication was no sin. Observe that, to continue in communion with persons of corrupt principles and practices is displeasing to God.

4) He calls them to repentance: Repent or else I will come unto thee quickly Rev 2:16. Observe here that

I) Repentance is the duty of saints as well as sinners it is a gospel duty.

ii) When God comes to punish the corrupt members of a church, he rebukes that church itself for allowing such to continue in its communion.

iii) No sword cuts so deep as the sword of Christ's mouth.

CONCLUSION OF THIS EPISTLE.

They shall eat of the hidden manna, and have the new name and the white stone, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it Rev 2:17.

1) The hidden manna, the influences and comforts of the Spirit of Christ

REV 2:8-11
THE CHURCH IN SMYRNA.

1) Smyrna is a place well known at this day by our merchants, a city of great trade and wealth, perhaps the only city of all the seven that is still known by the same name, now however no longer distinguished for its Christian church being overrun by Mahomedism.

2) The subscription containing another of the glorious titles of Jesus, the first and the last, he that was dead and is alive, taken out of Rev 1:17-18.

I) He is the first, for by him all things were made, and he was before all things with God and was God himself. He is the last, for all things are made for him, and he will be the Judge of all.

ii) He was dead, and by dying purchased salvation for us he is alive, and by his life applies this salvation to us.

The subject matter of this epistles to Smyrna is

a) He takes notice of the improvement they had made in their spiritual state.

b) He takes notice of their suffering: I know thy tribulation and thy poverty- the persecution they underwent. Those who will be faithful to Christ must expect to go through many tribulations but Jesus takes particular notice of all their troubles.

c) He knows the wickedness and falsehood of their enemies: I know the blasphemy of those that say they are Jews, but are not that is, of those who pretend to be the only peculiar covenant people of God, as the Jews boasted themselves to be, when indeed they are the synagogue of Satan.

d) He foreknows the future trials of his people and forewarns them of them, and forearms them against them.

I) He forewarns them of future trials: The devil shall cast some of you into prison, and ye shall have tribulation Rev 2:10. Observe, it is the devil that stirs up his instruments, wicked men, to persecute the people of God.

ii) Christ forearms them against these approaching troubles.

a) By his counsel: Fear none of these things. This is not only a word of command, but of efficacy by subduing it and furnishing the soul with strength and courage.

b) By showing them how their sufferings would be limited. First, they should not be universal, it should be some of them, not all who should be cast into prison, those who were best able to bear it.
Secondly, they were not to be perpetual, but for a short time, that is, ten days.
Thirdly, it should be to try them, not to destroy them that their faith and patience may improve.

c) By proposing and promising a glorious reward to their fidelity: Be thou faithful to death, and I will give thee a crown of life thou faithful to death, and I will give thee a crown of life thou faithful to death, and I will give thee a crown of life - A crown to reward their poverty and their fidelity; a crown of life to reward those who are faithful till they die.

CONCLUSION OF THE EPISTLE

I) With a call to universal attention, that all men, all the world, should hear what passes between Christ and his churches- how he commends them, comforts them, reproves their failures and reward their fidelity.

INSIGHT INTO THE BOOK OF REVELATION
THE CHURCH IN EPHESUS

REV 2:1-7

The inscription were observe:
1) To whom the first of these epistles is directed.
- To the church of Ephesus, a famous church planted by Apostle Paul, Acts 19:1-7.
2)From whom this epistle to Ephesus was sent and here we have one of this titles that were given to Christ in his appearance to John in the chapter foregoing: He that holds the seven starts in his right hand Rev 1:13,16. This title consists of two parts.
I) He that holds the star in his right hand.
The ministers of Christ are under his special care and protection.
ii) He walks in the midst of the golden candlesticks.
This intimates his relation to his church as the other his relation to his ministers. Though he is in Heaven, he walks in the midst of the churches on earth.

Now the church of Ephesus is commended.
1) For their diligence in duty: I know thy works, and thy labour, Rev2:2. It is not enough that we be diligent, but we must be patient, and endure hardness as good soldiers of Christ. Those that are stars in Christ's hand had need to be always in motion, dispensing light to all about them. For my name's sake thou hast laboured, and hast not fainted, Rev 2:3. Christ keeps an account of everyday's work, and every hour's work, his servants do for him, and their labour shall not be in vain in the Lord.

2) The rebuke given to this Church: Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, Rev 2:4. Those that have much good in them may have something much amiss in them, and Jesus as an impartial Judge take notice of both. The sin that Christ charged this Church was with their decay and declension in holy love and zeal.

3) The advice and counsel given them from Christ:
Remember therefore whence thou hast fallen and repent Rev 2:5. Those that have lost their first love must remember whence they have fallen they must compare their present with their former state and consider how much better they were then.
They must return and do their first works. They must as it were begin again, go back step by step, till they come to the place where they took the first false step.

4) This good advice is enforced and urged:
I) By a severe threatening, if it should be neglected: I will come unto thee quickly and remove thy candlestick out of its place. He will come in a way of judgement and that suddenly, upon impenitent churches and sinners he will unchurch them, take away his gospel, ministers and his ordinances from them.
ii)By an encouraging mention that is made of what was yet good among them: This thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans which I also hate Rev 2:6. "Though thou hast declined in thy love to what is good, yet thou retainest thy hatred to what is evil". The Nicolaitans were a loose sect who sheltered themselves under the name of Christianity. They held hateful doctrines and were guilty of hateful deeds. Our Saviour subjoins this kind commendation to his severe threatening, to make the advice more effectual.

CONCLUSION OF THE EPISTLE.

*REV 1:9-20*

1)Paul saw a representation of the church under the emblem of seven candlesticks, because they hold forth the light of the gospel to advantage.

2)He saw a representation of Jesus in the midst of the golden candlesticks for he has promised to be with his churches always to the end of the world, filling them with light and love.

*THE GLORIOUS FORM IN WHICH CHRIST APPEARED IN SEVERAL PARTICULARS*

REV 1:13-15

1) He was clothed with a garment down to the foot, a princely and priestly robe denoting RIGHTEOUSNESS and HONOUR.

2) He was girt about with a golden girdle, the breastplate of the high priest, on which the names of his people are engraved, he was ready to do all the work of a Redeemer.

3) His head and hairs were white like wool or snow. He is the Ancient of days, his hoary head was no sign of decay, but was indeed a crown of glory.

4) His eyes were as a flame of fire, piercing and penetrating into the very hearts and reins of men, scattering terrors among his adversaries.

5) His feet were like unto fine burning brass, strong and steadfast, supporting his own interest, subduing his enemies, treading them to powder.

6) His voice was as the sound of many waters, of many rivers falling in together. He can and will make himself heard to those who are far and near.

7) He had in his right hand seven stars, I.e, the ministers of the seven churches, who are under his direction, have all their light and influence from him and are secured by him.

cool Out of his mouth went a two edged sword, his word which both wounds and heals, strikes at sin on the right hand and on the left.

9)His countenance was as the sun shining, its strength to bright and dazzling for mortal eyes to behold.

*REV 1vs3-8*

Whence this blessing is to come. In whose name does the apostle bless the churches?

1. The Father is first named and He is described as the Jehovah who is, who was and who is to come, the same to the Old Testament church which was, and to the New Testament church which is, and who will be the same to the church triumphant which is to come.

2)The Holy Spirit, called the seven Spirits, not seven in number but the infinite perfect Spirit of God, in whom there is a diversity of gifts.

3)The Lord Jesus Christ. He has made them Kings and Priests to God. Having justified and sanctified them, he makes them kings to his Father that is, in his Father's account, with his approbation and for his glory. As Kings, they govern their own Spirits, conquer Satan, have power and prevalence with God in prayer and shall judge the world. He hath made them priests, given them access to God, enabled them to enter into the holiest and to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices.
