Lessons from the book of Revelation Chapter 3- Poem 2
To Church in Philadelphia
Revelation 3:7-13
And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia These things says He, that holy is and true He has the key of David and He opens And what He opens nobody can shut And what He shuts- no man can ever open And we must all a lesson from this get: God is the one who opens doors and closes His counsel it will stand, He'll do His pleasure I know your works- reminded He that church An open door before You I have set An open door, that nobody can shut You little strength have, yet My Word have kept You kept My Word and My Name denied not And I have loved you, I have loved you much And even those who are your enemies Will worship you and know that I you love You have been patient, you have persevered And I will also keep you from that hour That hour of temptation that will come That’ll come to try those who on earth do dwell I will come quickly, hold fast what you have That no one will your crown take from you (If we’re not careful- we a crown can loose Someone who’s faithful will received our crown) And he that overcometh, I will make A pillar in the temple of my God And he that overcomes upon him I Will write the Name of My God on him I will upon him write My new Name He that has ear, let him hear- obey What says the Spirit unto churches still Do not just read- but listen and obey

- The door that God opens, no body can shut.
- Thank You Father, that I can do all things through Christ, and that the door You open, no enemy can shut.
- Thank You that You are my strength and You give me the grace to not deny Your Name and to keep You Word even when I am opposed and persecuted for Your Name.
- Thank you that You are in me and that You are greater than he that is in the world.
- Thank you that I have overcome them because You are in me and You are greater than any one who opposes You or me.
- By faith, I am a doer of the Word and not hearer only, and I keep the things written in the Word of God.
- I deceive my own self if I am a hearer of the Word and not a doer of it.
