Gods email to me.........

Pastor KC (Kenneth Chirimuta)

We’ll be looking at Revelation 2 & 3 – the letters to the 7 churches. We’ll be looking more specifically at the structure of the 7 letters. Jesus is speaking and:
1. He introduces himself
2. There is a commendation (praise)
3. Condemnation (I have this one thing against you…)
4. Council (Advice)
5. Promise
6. He who has an ear, let him hear


These letters/emails/sms’ are from heaven coming to our “inbox”
1. He introduces himself: Revelation 2:1 “ to the angel of the church of Ephesus write, These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:…..” Jesus is speaking to the church at Ephesus. How would he introduce Himself to you and me considering where my life is today? God assesses the situation of the church. He walks right in the midst of the Churches and doesn’t rely on hearsay, rumour or grapevine messages
2. Commendation: V2 “ I know your works, your labour, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil……” Even if no one pats you on the back, God knows your works, your labours and your patience. You are doing it for the Kingdom and should be strengthened and encouraged. What praise would God give me today?
“Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first 3. Condemnation: V4 love.” The praise comes first – you have done great in this area but this other area needs improving. The words of a certain song are: “You cannot hide from God, You can cover your sin so that the world can’t see, but you cannot hide from God.” The church in Ephesus started out burning, a “firebrand” but somewhere along the way, it cooled down and lost it’s first love. Am I still on fire for God? Am I zealous for God or am I a fake Christian, lacking quality. Desire to be genuine and real.
4. Council: V5 “Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works……” remember and repent. If things are not well in my life, I cannot impact people spiritually
5. Promise: Claim and take God’s promises as ours
6. He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit of God is saying.

Let us not grow weary in well doing for in due season we shall reao. The God we serve is Yaweh – the covenant keeping God.

“The heart of a King is in the hands of the Lord. He turns it wherever he will. His promises will prevail.” God’s promises will be fulfilled in our nation of Zimbabwe.
