LETTER TO THE THYATIRAN CHURCH II

Memorise:
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. .. Matthew 18:6

Read:
Revelation 2:20-23

Message

In our Bible reading today, Jesus tells us what will happen to Jezebel if she does not repent. There are many people in the body of Christ now, talking about old-fashioned Christianity. They say some of the things which form the foundations of living a Christian life are no longer necessary and we can do things differently and still remain Christians. They say as long as your heart is in tune with God, it does not matter how you dress, it is the heart that matters. They forget that it is what is in the heart that will reflect outside. They say you can have intimate friends who are sinners as long as you do not join them in committing sins. They forget that it is evil communication that corrupts good manners. If you are one of those encouraging people to be a little slack with their Christian life so that they can enjoy some of the benefits of this world, you are a Jezebel. How can you say there is something like old-fashioned Christianity when Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8)?

There is nothing like old-fashioned or modern Christianity. Christianity is about becoming like Jesus. Any doctrine or teaching that encourages a mixture with the world system is not Christianity at all, it is the doctrine of Jezebel. Stop teaching, tolerating or encouraging it.

God said He will punish Jezebel by confining her to a bed. Many people develop some stubborn sicknesses without knowing that the root is from God Himself. Unless they repent, they will die from the sickness and not only them but their children also. Jesus said in Matthew 18:7:

Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence Cometh!

You had better be careful what you teach the children of God so that you don't end up being cursed by God Himself.

Bible In One Year:
Isaiah 29-32

Hymn:
Have you been to Jesus

Key Point:
There is no old-fashioned Christianity; always teach the undiluted word of God when given the opportunity.

King James Version

Revelation 2:20-23

Rev. 2:20-23
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. [21] And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. [22] Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. [23] And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
RCCG Hymn

Have you been to Jesus

  1. Have you been to Jesus for the cleansing power?
    Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?
    Are you fully trusting in His grace this hour?
    Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?

    2. Are you washed in the blood
    In the soul cleansing blood of the Lamb?
    Are your garments spotless?
    Are they white as snow?
    Are you washed in the blood of the Lamb?


  2. Are you walking daily by the Saviour's side?
    Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?
    Do you rest each moment in the Crucified?
    Are you washed in the blood of the lamb?
  3. When the Bridegroom cometh will your robes be white?
    Pure and white in the blood of the lamb?
    Will your soul be ready for the mansions bright,
    And be washed in the blood of the lamb?
  4. Lay aside the garments that are stained with sin.
    And be washed in the blood of the lamb;
    There's a fountain flowing for the soul unclean.
    Oh be washed in the blood of the lamb.
