Message
Rhoda was privileged to be born into a family of believers. Her father is a pastor in the church while her mother is one of the women leaders. As such, from an early age, she had been led to accept Jesus as her Lord and Saviour.
As time went by, Rhoda began to mingle with some school friends who gradually influenced her to love worldly things. She no longer found going to church, doing her quiet time and joining the others for family devotion interesting. She was beginning to nurse the idea of sneaking out with her friends for parties and clubs until one night, when she had a dream of the rapture taking place and that she was left behind. She prayed and made her way right with God.
God wants you to be fully dedicated to Him. He doesn’t like it when a part of you is centered on pleasing the world and another on Him. Decide to stand without wavering for the Lord. God’s punishment awaits lukewarm believers both now and in eternity.
