“Searchlight Of God”

Key Verse

“I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first” (Revelation 2:19).TEXT — Revelation 2:18-21

Message

One of the important uses of searchlights in military warfare is to detect enemy ships at greater distances. They are also used as signalling devices and to assist landing parties. They were used by battleships and other capital vessels to locate attacking torpedo boats and were installed on many coastal artillery batteries
for aiding night combats. They also assist in revealing possibly hidden objects in the dark of the night.

The Lord turned on His searchlight on the church in Thyatira. Though it had some commendable qualities, its undesirable features made it an unholy assembly. It was permissive, allowing an immoral woman, named Jezebel, to wield influence in the church, thereby defiling many servants of God through her fornication and idolatrous practices. That disqualified the assembly from being seen as a perfect church. Christ’s ideal assessment of the church shows He knows about every church and the life and conduct of everyone. Nothing can be hidden from His eyes.

Christ’s divinity could not have been more explicit. He is the Son of God who has “eyes like a flame of fire, feet like fine brass.” Because He is divine, He has total dominion, power and authority. He knows the good, the bad and the vile. Based on this, believers must be careful of their activities and character. Are you serving faithfully or with an eye to please men? Will your faith stand the test of time?

As we grow older, we must pray for more grace, perseverance and patience so that our service and commitment do not diminish. We should also watch out for the likes of Jezebel in the church. We must disallow such people from being used to seduce and lure members or leaders into immorality or other sins.

Thought for the day

Christ sees, knows and discerns all things.
