The Alpha & The Omega (Oct 11)
John writes to the seven churches
in Asia Minor to address their
scriptural need. Each message
begins with the expression:
I know thy works; each contains a
promise: to him that overcometh;
each concludes with the warning:
He that hath ear, let him hear what
the Spirit says to the churches.
In short, John sends words of
reproof and reassurance from
Jesus Christ, the Alpha & Omega.
Lord, help us be Your Priests:
From Jesus Christ… the ruler
over the kings of the earth.
To Him who loves us and has freed
us from our sins by His blood, and
has made us to be a kingdom and
priests to serve His… Father. Behold
He is coming with clouds, and
every eye will see Him (Rev 1:5-7)
I was In The Spirit on the Lord’s Day
and I Heard… a loud voice… saying:
I am the Alpha & the Omega,
the First and the Last (v10-11).
When I saw Him, I fell at His feet.
But He laid His right hand on me,
saying: Do not be afraid; I am the
First and the Last. I am He who lives
and was dead and behold I am alive
forevermore…And I have the keys of
Hades & Death (Rev 1:17-18) Amen.
Lord, thank You for not only freeing
us from sin, but also making us
Your new creation & Your children.
Thank You for also granting us
the high privilege of serving You
forever as priests. Grant me the
grace to live worthy of You and
the heart to intercede for others.
And help me speak Your Will and
live it out in every situation. Amen.
Father, lead me to be deep
In the Spirit, worshipping You,
so that I can hear You speak.
Holy Spirit, I offer myself to You,
to be In You, to hear from You.
For Your word says You will draw
near to those who come near to U.
Draw me Lord into the closeness of
relationship that causes You to want
to share Your heart with me. Amen.
Lord, we praise You as the First and
the Last; and as the one who was
once dead but now alive and sitting
at the right hand of God the Father.
You’re the One who gives us victory
over death; and possess the keys
to lock death away forever in hell.
I look forward to the day when death
is no longer a threat and when life
rules forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
