In the Spirit on the Lord’s Day (2)

I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last," and, "What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia" I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man.
Revelation 1:10-13

In the Spirit on the Lord's Day (2)
Although banished to Patmos, an island some twenty miles from the coast of present-day Turkey, because of his faithfulness to the Lord, and apparently alone, the aged apostle John was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day. Nothing could keep him from occupation with his beloved Lord, the work of the Spirit of God within his heart. And although there were no two or three there for the Lord to be in the midst of, He did not leave His dear servant alone.

All at once the Lord was there with him—but oh, how different from when John and his fellow apostles had seen Him go up into heaven! A loud voice as of a trumpet! Once before, hanging on the cross at Calvary, this One who would "not cry out, nor raise His voice, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street" (Isa. 42:2) had cried out with a loud voice, "It is finished." Now John was told to write what he had seen in a book and send it to the seven assemblies in the Roman province of Asia.

Turning to see the voice, John saw "One like the Son of Man" in awe-inspiring judicial majesty in the midst of seven golden lampstands. John, who had leaned on Jesus' bosom and His breast (Jn. 13:23, 25), now "fell at His feet as dead." But the Lord tenderly laid His right hand on him, saying to him, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death" (Rev. 1:17-18). What a great yet tender Lord He is!

OFFENDED IN CHRIST?

OFFENDED IN CHRIST?

The Christian race must be run with lots of patience or else it will be bungled midway. If you are inpatient with Gods timing, you will not only get into trouble but may not be able to finish the race. A good number of backsliders derailed from their heavenly track because of impatience. In Matthew 11:6 Jesus...More

Jehovah appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre. And he sat at the tent-door in the heat of the day. And he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, three men standing near him.

THE HOLY SPIRIT

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out. It is possible to connect with the Holy Spirit and to continue to flow in the power of the anointing even at increasing levels. If this is your desire,...More
BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

BEFORE YOU GET ANGRY

Yesterday we learnt it is not right for us to get angry with God or to take offence against Him, even if we experience the deferment of our hopes. The example of John the Baptist who earlier acknowledged Jesus as the Messiah, but later doubted Him because of his painful experience of incarceration is a warning...More
