Seize the Moment – Day 346
Introduction to the Revelation of John!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Friday, February 26. Please join me in wishing a happy birthday to Topanga Cole, Ella Oakes, and Tesla Sullivan.
Are you walking in the promises of God?
The Revelation of John is a message from God to give His people a persevering faith and an overwhelming hope. As we face difficulties in this life we must stand in the victory of God, which is on the promises of God!
God has revealed to us in Revelation 1:7-8, “Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen. ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.’”
We are invited to stand with the Victorious One as we share in His Victory—this is the work of the Alpha and the Omega, who is the beginning and the end. It is done! This is the key to our victory!
Based on this, Jesus commands our fear away in verses 17b-18, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.”
Fear has once and for all been swallowed by the eternal life of God! This is the love of God!
Seize the moment and walk in faith, hope, and love. This is the promise of Revelation—the promised fulfillment of God’s covenant with humanity!
Let’s recite this week’s memory verse from Genesis 9:12-13 (ESV), “God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations; I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.’”
God Bless you!
