TOPIC: OLD DOCTRINE THAT RULES IN HEAVEN (I)
Read Revelation 14:1-5
1. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
2. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps:
3. And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
5. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.
MEMORISE: And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God (Revelation 14:5)
EXPOSITION
Several things around us in the world are new. There are many new clothes. There are many new cars. There are many new shoes in the markets. There are new outlooks, in the name of fashion. There are new trends in dressing, contrary to the old ways we used to know, in the recent past.
There are modern methods of travelling. There are new ways of communication, all over the world. Even in warfare, there are new technological ways of fighting, today. There are new weapons of war, all over the world. Things are changing with new ways and fashions. Indeed, there are new things, everywhere, though most of these are improvements on past innovations.
The world is aging, but wants to refuse this fact by trying to renew its order and systems with new things, hence the various forms of evils in the name of new ways of dressing, living, behaving and so on. Contrary to all these new ways of doing things, we are assured that there is an old way of living that reigns in heaven.
The Bible says that holiness and purity of character are age-long doctrines that do not change. The saints that want to make heaven must imbibe this old doctrine of living.
New ways of living on earth cannot change God and His holiness. We should maintain godliness and purity before Him. This is the old doctrine that cannot change its order on earth and in heaven. Saints should not tell lies, and they must be faultless. We should be blamelessly holy, within and without. Whether people see you or not, your character must be based on the dictates of God's Word. 'And in their mouth was found no deceit, for they are without fault before the throne of God' (Rev. 14:5). Does that describe your way of life?
PRAYER POINTS
1. Lord, I will live for You on earth. Please, help my resolve.
2. Father, let Your church live in accordance with Your living Word.
3. Father, uproot evil from our land, and cause revival to break out, by Your Word.
