Revelation 3:14-22
When something is not hot, we
say that it is cold, and when it is not cold, it is had. But if it is neither
hot nor cold, it is called lukewarm. When some children give their lives to
Jesus, they will have great zeal to serve Him. As time goes on because of one
thing or another, their love for Jesus will become low. Such children are said
to be lukewarm in their Christian beliefs. Today, Jesus will set you free if
you are one of them.
Lukewarmness is a condition
where a child who has been a friend of Jesus
begins
to show less interest is the things of God. Such a child will not like to
attend fellowship regularly, and when asked, He will give excuses. He will not
read his Bible or pray as before. He no longer tells others about Jesus. He now
loves the things of this world more than God’s word. He loves sports, watching
T.V, wearing worldly dresses and games.
Lukewarmness is caused by so
many things: (a) The bad things happening around us (Matthew 24:12) (b)
Prayerlessness (c) Problems and love of money, food, fashion and other things.
Jesus is not happy when any of
His friends are neither cold nor hot towards the things of God. As Jesus warned
the church in Laodicea, so also He is warning and
encouraging
young children today to be fervent in serving Him. Do not stop loving Jesus.
Overcome lukewarmness by reading, thinking on and obeying the word of God. Pray
regularly and tell others about the love of Jesus. You must determine to
continue to follow Jesus to the end.
Jesus has prepared good things
for those who will overcome. You will sit and reign with Jesus forever.
