Repent and Do the First Works

Today's bible graphic is Jesus's word of correction and exhortation to the Church at Ephesus. This message was given through the Apostle Paul while exiled on the island of Patmos. 

There is a powerful word of warning in these two verses. Warnings every confessing Christian needs to take to heart. All of us! 

The main exhortation is to return to our first love, Jesus Christ! Put Him first in everything, including financial and major life decisions. Many American Christians spend a lot of time building into their own personal kingdoms and not God's. If our main focus in life is that, in eternity, we will see the waste of energy that was. 

Many American Christians spend their lives on entertainment while spending very little time in God's Word, prayer, and active service in God's Kingdom. 

We need to repent and go back to serving God wholeheartedly and surrendering all to fulfill God's plan! That includes preachings the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ to those around us and sending it to those who have never heard it in places like the 10/40 window. 

Start today because procrastination is the devil's tool to put off God's will in our lives to a future time. What if the Lord comes for you or me tonight? Then it will be too late! I don't want to hear the Lord Jesus Christ say, "Well, you made it." I want to hear him say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." How about you? Sharegodshope.com
