The Book of Revelation.

The Book of Revelation is more than just a fascinating read; it’s a divine masterpiece. Here are some reasons why this document stands out in the New Testimonies:  


1. The Promise of a Blessing

Revelation is the only book in the Bible that promises a blessing simply for reading, hearing, and keeping its words (Revelation 1:3). 


2. Purely Divine Authorship

Unlike other books in the New Testimonies, Revelation was written entirely under God’s direction, with no trace of human will or interpretation (Revelation 1:1-2). It’s a direct line from God to His people with no edits allowed.


3. A Witness to History

It was penned by John, the last surviving disciple of Jesus among the original twelve, making it a firsthand account from someone who walked closely with Jesus and so he trusted him enough to send the angel to him.  


4. A Serious Warning

This is the only book that comes with a stern warning: anyone who adds to or takes away from its words will face divine consequences (Revelation 22:18-19). Clearly, God takes this document very seriously—and so should we.  



Revelation paints the final picture of the world we live in—a breathtakingly beautiful picture. Yes there are dragons, horses, plagues, and woes, but beyond the vivid imagery lies a powerful reminder: in the end, THE SAINTS WIN. It’s a book of hope and victory for those who trust in Jesus.  



Initially, this document was addressed to seven specific congregations in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey), but its truths transcend time and are meant for every reader who encounters it. Whether you’re a first-century believer or a 21st-century seeker, Revelation speaks directly to you.  



Unfortunately, many shy away from Revelation, claiming it’s too complicated, but let me challenge that notion. What’s needed isn’t a theological degree—it’s an open heart and a willingness to read it, just as you would any other piece of Scripture.  


Don’t fall into the trap of fear or confusion that has kept so many from its pages. Revelation begins with a profound declaration:  


"The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near." (Revelation 1:1-3)  

 


Revelation isn’t just a book; it’s a glimpse into God’s eternal plan. It’s a roadmap for believers and a source of unwavering hope. So, open its pages, take in its words, and let it strengthen your faith as you look forward to the ultimate victory in Christ.  


The saints win. Let that truth sink in.

When the firstborn dies.

Everything Changes When a Firstborn Dies. Today, I found myself reflecting on ancient Egypt—specifically, during the reign of the Pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph (Exodus 1:8). It was a time of great power, but also of great sorrow, especially when things took a tragic turn. Now, you might know the story, but let's revisit it a bit. Joseph, the shepherd boy and his father’s favorite, found himself in a bit of a pickle. His brothers, tired of his dreams and his fancy coat, sold him off to some merchants. These merchants then sold Joseph as a slave in Egypt. Fast forward a few years, and our boy Joseph had climbed the ranks in Egypt, from slave to leader. He was well-known, respected, and even had a family. Then, a severe drought struck, and Egypt, under Joseph’s brilliant management, became the region’s breadbasket. It’s said that the grain stores were so full that they stopped keeping records (Genesis 41:49). This abundance attracted people from all over, including Joseph’s own...

Praying for the physically ill.

Image
Whenever we have a loved one not feeling well, admitted in hospital or maybe even in a critical condition according to the medics, prayer can become hard. We get to a point of prayer fatigue (I first heard that term from a friend called Sarah) and if things are not handled well, we may end up praying amiss as James describes it. I have highlighted the WE sections to emphasize the value of prayer of unity. However, if you're praying while alone, you still are not alone. Believers pray in the company of other believers seen or unseen. That's why our Lord taught us to pray "our father" and not my father. We're never alone in the place of prayer. May this guide help you pray for yourself, your loved one, friend or a friend to a friend. Pray in the spirit and with understanding. 1. Praying for God's Will to Be Done In Mark 1:40-42, a man with leprosy came to Jesus and said, "If you are willing, you can make me clean." Jesus responded, "I am willing....
