TOPIC: HEAR THE WARNING OF GOD
TEXT: Revelation 3:1-3.
Key verse: Revelation 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous
therefore, and repent.
The God that brought you into the world is a lover. The God who created you is a lover. God in his love gives warning to the disobedient and sinners because he does not want them to perish. He sends warning because the reward of sin is death in the lake of fire and he does not want you to go there. Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Therefore, God sends you warning from time to time, not because He is weak in punishing sin, but in His infinite patience and forbearance, He gives you time to repent and turn to Him. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. The prudent man hears the warnings of God and repents. Proverbs 22:3 A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. Warnings come in many ways. In the scripture, in counselling, in preaching, in dreams and visions.
God warned Pilate through the wife in a dream to be careful in dealing with Jesus but he would not listen. Matthew 27:19-20, 24, 26
19. When he was set down on the judgment seat, his wife sent unto him, saying, Have thou nothing to do with that just man: for I have suffered many things this day in a dream because of him.
20. But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitude that they should ask Barabbas, and destroy Jesus.
24. When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it 26. … and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered to be crucified.
Pilate was more afraid of the people than God. He tried to extricate himself but he remained guilty.
King Abimelech was wiser. After receiving God's warning in a dream, he restituted to Abraham (Genesis 20). Maybe you dreamt of rapture and you didn't go. Hear the warning of God and purge yourself of every sin in your life. Or you married wrongly, do your restitution now!
Thought for the day: Do not take the warning of God lightly.
Song for the day: He loves me I cannot say why.
Bible reading for the day:
1Kings 1-2; Luke 22:54-71
