TITLE: HOT OR COLD
MEMORIZE: So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Revelation 3:16
BIBLE READING MATTHEW 5:13
[13]Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
MESSAGE
Being in the middle of a divide is a dangerous thing for a fellow because he or she will be perceived as unserious, uncommitted to a cause and hypocritical. This is the reason Jesus told His disciples: “let your yes be yes, and your no, no” (Matthew 5:37).
In matters of the kingdom, you can’t afford to have one leg in the world and the other in Christ. There is no way you can jump on worldly trends in fashion, music, et cetera, and still claim that you are a Christian.
Beloved, a pretentious Christian is worse than an unbeliever. It is best to be a hot cake for God than a lukewarm cake in the world. Let your fire burn bright for God, and stay vigilant so it will not burn out.
We are in the last days and the Lord is marking His own children; it will be in your best interest not to be lukewarm so that the mark of Christ will be on you to shield you from the enemy’s attack now and in the future.
ACTION POINT
Cry to God for a fresh baptism of fire if you have become lukewarm.
HYMN 15 – ONWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS
- Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before;
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banners go.
CHORUS
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before.
- At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth Ilee;
On then, Christian soldiers
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise. - Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod.
We are not divided,
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity. - Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise-
And that cannot fail. - Onward then, ye people,
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song:
“Glory, praise and honor,
Unto Christ the King”,
This, through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.
