OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON JUNE 28, 2015 IS REVELATION 1:1-20: JOHN’S VISION OF CHRIST FOR THE FAMILY OF GOD; I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST IN YOUR LIFE:

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON JUNE 28, 2015 IS REVELATION 1:1-20: JOHN’S VISION OF CHRIST FOR THE FAMILY OF GOD; I AM THE FIRST AND THE LAST IN YOUR LIFE: 1. If you have never had an encounter with God or his son Jesus Christ, you will not be able to understand this vision of John about the revelation of Jesus Christ, and who you are, and the importance of ministering Angels in your Family. Do not take dreams, visions, and prophecies for granted because the time is near and prophecies and visions must be fulfilled. See verses 1-3 2. There is no better greetings for Godly families than grace and peace as Jesus wished us from the first day of our lives till the day we are call to glory, so that our families and homes will be successful because of that great price Jesus paid on the Cross of Calvary for you and I, so that we will be successful in our marriages, businesses, careers, and professions. See verses 4-5 3. It is important for you to know that Jesus freed you and your family, made you a kingdom and Priests (Royal Priesthood) to serve and honour him and his father in heaven, and opened your eyes to receive the revelation of his second coming, and also to acknowledge that He and His Father in heaven are the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the end. If you are in their boat you have all you need in your life See verses 6-8 4. John’s vision of Jesus Christ has triggered of lots of debate or discussions by theologians, atheists, and Bible scholars but one thing they all fail to understand is the ability to have personal relationship with God. If you do not have personal relationship with God no matter how educated you are in theology or other professions, you will never be able to understand the revelations word of God, or be able to communicate with God effectively on one and one like John did in his encounter with Jesus. Have you ever been translated from your mortal body to have fellowship with the immortal God? If yes, Glory be to God. See verses 9-11 5. Many Christians on this planet earth will not experience what John experienced on earth where we live now, not because they have sinned or that they did not know God, but because they failed to turn around when they are supposed to turn. Moses turned at the burning bush and had an encounter with God; John turned, and was in the spirit and heard a loud voice that said to him write all that you see down for the seven churches. Have you wondered why you cannot hear from God? The answer is because you are not in the spirit, and do not want to change or turn and surrender totally to God, for grace and peace to be fulfilled in your life and your family, you must have a regular fellowships with God and his son Jesus Christ. See verses 12-16 6. Finally, permit me to ask; do you live in fear with your family? if yes, you are the one Jesus is reaching out to Today, he has been sending signals of fellowship to you but the enemy Satan has been distracting you not to hear the call, but he is placing his hands on you and saying to you right now FEAR NOT. You may say why? because it looks strange to you. Here are the reasons: a.) He is the first and the last b.) He is the Living one, the Everlasting Father c.) He was dead and now He is Alive for ever and ever d.) He holds the keys of Life and Hades e.) The mystery of the seven stars represents the ministering Angels that ministers to you and I, while the seven lamp-stands represent the churches. Are you part of the church? Do the ministering Angels minister to you? I challenge you to get closer to God and fellowships with him like John did and also write down whatever he reveals to you and use it to be a blessing to the Church of God. Amen. See 17-20 Revelation 1:1-20 New International Version (NIV) Prologue 1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. Greetings and Doxology 4 John,To the seven churches in the province of Asia: Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits[a]before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen. 7 “Look, he is coming with the clouds,”[b] and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of him.”[c] So shall it be! Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” John’s Vision of Christ 9 I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11 which said: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis,Philadelphia and Laodicea.” 12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man,[d] dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. 17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. 19 “Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. 20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels[e] of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. 6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing power to receive visions from God, and know that Jesus is the first and the last in your life and your family, so hear him with your family in Jesus name Amen.
