REVELATION 3:14-18 (From DADDY E.A ADEBOYE)
Today, we shall learn more lessons from the church in Laodicea.
SELF DECEPTION
In the letter to the Laodiceans, Jesus said they taught that they were rich. However, as far as God is concerned, they were wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. This is the description of every Christian that is lukewarm especially if it is due to being rich Rev.3:17; Ps.36:2; Gal.6:3.
You know the story of the fool in Luke 12:16-20. He had a lot of riches. He then told his soul to relax and enjoy. God called him a fool. If God calls a man a fool, he must be a fool indeed. God said he would leave the world that day.
|He went on to say that the church in Laodicea was naked even though they had lots of clothes. Those of us who have Christ do not need the best clothes before we look important. When God wants to honor a man, He will clothe him with salvation.
Jesus said the church at |Laodicea should ask for gold that is tried in fire from Him. The best gold, which is gold tried in fire, is faith in the Almighty God. The faith that God will meet all your needs is the gold that will never perish. Without faith, you cannot please God Rev. 3:18; Heb. 11:6; 1 Pt. 1:7.
Jesus went on to say that the church in Laodicea should buy from Him eye drops to clear their eyes. All the while, they were doing wrong but they did not know. They did not stop anybody from preaching, yet, they were lukewarm. They did not know that they were doing anything wrong. Some of us are like this John 9:40-41.
CONCLUSION
May the Almighty God open our eyes to know whether we are lukewarm or not because we have to discover whether we are good or not to be able to amend our ways. we have to know and accept that we are wrong before we can change.
