Seed for May 5

Rev 3:17-18
17 You say, 'I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.' But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked.
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
(NIV)

Problem with the 7th Church, the church age of the “lukewarms” was that they could not see. They had the clothes, money in the bank, new house, new cars, and everything else money could buy, but could not see. They thought they had no needs at all. They attend the fine church building, at the “First” church, fine congregation, fine respect in society, yet unable to see their true spiritual condition. Every verse in this book is written for our admonition, teaching and instruction. But yet many still cannot see, they live in the age of the Lukewarm church. They are neither hot nor cold for Jesus, they have settled into “normalness”. The Bible says they can’t see their own condition, because of abundance. That my friend is America and her churches for the most part.

What do we need to do? Anoint our eyes to see what Jesus sees. Put on His righteousness, and buy the spiritual gold things that count in the Kingdom. Stop going to “church” and start being the Church (the Body of God in the earth). Are we on fire for God all the other days of the week or just on Sundays? Be blessed.
