Lessons from the book of Revelation Chapter 2- Poem 6
Unto Angel of Church in Thyatira
Revelation 2:18-29
And unto angel of the church in Thyatira These things says He whose eyes, -like flame of fire I know your works, and charity, and service I know your faith, your patience, and your works I know your works; and last works, they are better I know they’re better than the first works were And it just seemed this church was just so good Full of great works and service, patience, faith! Yet God them warned: “I have few things against thee” You fornication tolerate among you You have allowed sexual sins and idols To be in midst of you- to sin against Me And I have given you time to repent But you repented not from this great sin Into great tribulation I will cast you If you repent not of this great great sin I search the hearts of people; know all things And unto everyone of you will give I will according to your works give you Repent and hear what Spirit tells the churches *** This church into great tribulation will be cast This church that does much good, has faith, and patience This church, did tolerate sexual sin and idols And all good works- defiled are by their sin And this to us- it is a good reminder If we serve much, have faith, and do much good Yet if in midst of church we allow sin Sin of adultery, idols, fornication God will be grieved; He will displeased be greatly And He will give you time to repent But if you still repent not of you sin You will face judgement from the hand of God
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and for Thy pleasure they are and were created” Revelation 4:11
“Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!
Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “THE TWO,” He says, “SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.”
But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
Flee sexual immorality {Fornication, sexual sin}. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s” 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 NKJV
“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” 2 Corinthians 4:7
“And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption” Ephesians 4:30
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” Romans 12:1
- I am not my own, I was created for God’s pleasure. God has all authority to tell me what I can and can’t do with my body.
- My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost- who is in me, and I am not my own
- My body is not my own for it was bought with a price
- My body is the member of Christ and I am in Christ
- I am joined together with Christ, and am one spirit with Him
- I have this treasure in the earthen vessel- Christ in me and I must not defile my body with sexual sins or anything else
- I present my body to God- holy and acceptable unto God for that is my most reasonable service
- I was bought with a price and glorify God in my body and in my spirit, which are God’s
- I was bought with a high price- the Blood of Jesus, and in me now is the Treasure I do not deserve; my most reasonable service is to present my body unto God, holy and acceptable and not defile it or give it away to lust, sexual sins, or anything else that will dishonor God’s Name.
- Thank you Jesus for washing all my sin away and for not holding my past sinful thoughts or acts against me
- I flee fornication and avoid sexual sin at all cost. Thank You that I can do all things through Christ and I can and will flee fornication and avoid sexual sin.
