Meditating Revelation 4-6 (Sep 19)

Worship Worthy Lamb of God

John describes visions depicting
activities in heaven and on earth.
God enthroned, holds a scroll
which is sealed with seven seals.
No one is found worthy to break
the seals and reveal the contents
of the scroll except Lion of Judah.
As the first six seals are broken,
calamities break forth upon the
earth involving warfare, famine,
death, earthquakes and heavenly
disturbances. The kings of earth
know too well the explanation of it
all. For the great day of His wrath is
come & who shall be able to stand?

Lord, grateful for the glimpses
into Christ’s glory in Revelation.
Here we see into the throne room
of heaven, with God orchestrating
all the events. The works is not
spinning out of control for the
God of creation will carry out
His plans as Christ initiates the
final battle with the forces of evil.
Dear Lord, we praise for being
All Holy and Almighty and that
You will defeat all evil in the end.
Thanks that You have good plans
not only in the future but also now.
Lord Jesus, we Bow In Worship;
help us to Reign With You; and
help us to Share the Gospel. Amen.

Lord, we bow down in Worship:
The twenty-four elders fall down
and worship the one who lives
forever and ever. And they lay
their crowns before the throne
and say: You are worthy, O Lord
our God, to receive glory and
honor & power. For You created
everything, and it is for Your
pleasure that they exist and
were created (Rev 4:10-11).
Lord, Thank You for revealing
Your glory being celebrated
in heaven. You are worthy; for
it is for You and because of You
that all things exist. Reveal to us
more glimpses of how infinite,
limitless and majestic You are
so that Your glory is our focus.
Draw us into worship; and we lay
our crowns before You Lord –
all that we’ve done and all that
we are we give to You. Amen.

Lord, we want to Reign With You:
The 24 elders fell down before the
Lamb… And they sang a new song:
You are worthy to take the scroll,
and to open its seals; For You were
slain, and have redeemed us to God
by Your blood… And have made us
kings and priests to our God; and
we shall reign on the earth… Then
I heard the voice of many angels
around the throne with a loud voice:
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
to receive power… and honor and
glory and blessing (Rev 5:8-12).
Lord, Your Word says we are
already a royal priesthood, with
authority to pray and implement
Your mission in this current age.
Increase our Faith that we are
inhabited by the God of the
universe & carry Your presence.
Lord, it’s hard to fathom how we
can reign with You. But we want
to walk in the authority You offer
in this age. So show us how. Amen.

Lord, we will Share the Gospel:
Then everyone… the powerful…
every slave and free person… all
hid themselves in the caves and
among the rocks of the mountains.
And they cried to the mountains
and the rocks: Fall on us and hide
us from the face of the one who
sits on the throne and from the
wrath of the Lamb. For the great
day of their wrath has come, and
who is able to survive?(Rev 6:15-17)
Lord, we long for the day when
we will stand before Your throne.
On that day we will surely
be protected by the Lamb.
The cleansing that began when
we first beloved will be complete
and we will stand as purified pple.
But Lord we don’t want to stand
there alone; call our friends and
loved ones to Yourselves, cleansed
with the blood of the Lamb. Amen.
