“A Life Of Lukewarmness”
Friday, March 7, 2025Key Verse
“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:16).
Text —Revelation 3:14-19
Message
The Lord Jesus would like to have His followers fervent in spirit serving Him instead of being cold or lukewarm. Ravi Zacharias stated that, “Lukewarmness is not a permanent state. It will either grow into a deeper faith or it will cool off into a complete lack of faith.” Lukewarm Christians prioritize earthly possessions and values in worship. They are proud of their riches, promotions and fame. They are not excited at the spiritual revival going in a Bible Church. They feel bored by programmes that exalt evangelism, holiness and heaven.
Life in this corrupt world may be inviting but at the cost of the abundant life in Christ. Judas Iscariot was a lukewarm disciple before he sold his Master. When the chips were down, he started missing fellowships with Jesus and His disciples, and began consulting with the Jewish leaders. Are you also lukewarm? You are, if you are often busy browsing or texting on your phone while others are listening to the preacher. Yes, you are if you consistently miss or go late to the fellowship of believers. Pray for personal revival.
