Topic: I Know Your Works VI [Saturday 21, October 2017]
Memorise: “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” – 1 Corinthians 15:58
Read: Revelation 3:7-11
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

MESSAGE:
Another exciting thing about the Almighty God is that He is the most generous employer of labour. He pays the best wages ever. This is why Apostle Paul admonishes us in today’s memory verse to always abound in the work of the Lord because He will definitely pay us wages beyond our imagination. The disciples asked Jesus Christ what they should do that they might work the works of God? He answered them: “…this is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent.” (John 6:28-29). You may not appreciate the ‘ability to believe’ that the Holy Spirit has bestowed upon you, until you discover the outcome of those who died as a result of unbelief (Hebrews 3:12-19). God celebrates those who exercise faith in Him; this is why without faith we cannot please Him (Hebrews 11:6).
Beloved, in the light of these, do you believe in the saving Name of Jesus? Are you ready to keep His Word? He has promised that the agents of satan shall not do you no harm. Rather, they would bow before you and acknowledge the fact that you are a beloved of the Lord.
