SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR
03/05/2005
My Worship Time Focus: Rule the Nations
Bible Reading &
Meditation Reference: Revelations 2:26, 27
Message of the verse: “He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds
until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS; AND HE SHALL RULE
THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as
I also have received authority from My Father;”
(NAS95)
To all who are victorious, who obey me to the very end, I
will give authority over all the nations.
They will rule the nations with an iron rod and smash them like clay
pots.” (NLT)
As stated
in earlier verses the “overcomers” are the ones who are true believers in Jesus
Christ, who have been washed by the blood of the Lamb, who are born-again and
have the privilege of calling the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ their
Heavenly Father. Jesus goes on to say
that these overcomers who keep His deeds until the end will receive authority
to rule the nations with a rod of iron, and this authority comes for God the
Father. Jesus may in fact be speaking of
His Kingdom which will last on this earth for 1000 years, and He will rule from
the throne of David in Jerusalem
Spiritual meaning for my life today: As I look at and study what a future I
have because of my relationship with Jesus Christ, it puts the things that I am
going through now more into perspective, and even thought they are difficult
there is coming a time when all the wrongs will be made right because sin will
be done away with.
The Word of God was very uplifting to my heart as I read it
this morning.
My Steps of Faith
Today: Trust the Lord to keep a
guard over my lips when our friends come to visit us this afternoon.
