TEXT:
Revelation 2:12-17
12.
“And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, ‘These things says He who
has the sharp two-edged sword:
13.
“I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is. And you hold
fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas
was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.
14.
But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the
doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the
children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual
immorality.
15.
Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing
I hate.
16.
Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the
sword of My mouth.
17.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him
who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him
a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except
him who receives it.”
(New Living Translation Holy Bible)
TOPIC:
LIVING FOR GOD AMODST DEMONIC ACTIVITIES
Our
society is saturated with different activities and teachings that seek to sway
people from the purposes of God.
Members
of the Church at Pegamum, according to today’s text, were living where Satan had
his throne. And even though they remained true to His name, they got entangled
in attitudes that led them to sin by idolatry, sexual immorality, etc.
Jesus
had to ask them to repent or face His wrath. We need to know that, despite the
fact that we are exposed to lots of challenges in our Christian living, God
wants us to live lives that would honour Him.
QUESTION:
Are you living an honourable life in the midst of the challenges of life?
PRAYER:
Help me, dear Father, to respond adequately to You as I continue to live in
this world which keeps on enticing me to do evil on a daily basis, in Jesus
name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
