THOUGHT FOR THE DAY! By Pastor Robert Oliver
Revelation 4:11 says~ “THOU ART WORTHY, O LORD, TO 'RECEIVE' GLORY AND HONOUR AND POWER: FOR THOU HAST CREATED 'ALL' THINGS, AND FOR THY 'PLEASURE' THEY ARE AND WERE CREATED!”
Oh Praise the LORD Beloved Believers, What an 'Amazing' Verse We Have Before us This Day! John the Revelator, Has Been 'Transported' into the Glorious 'Presence' of GOD in ...HEAVEN, and Sees a "LAMB", As it Had Been "SLAIN", Upon The "THRONE!" He 'Observes' the four and twenty Elders Falling 'Down' Before HIM, 'Worshipping' HIM Along With the "HOLY ANGELS!!!" And In verse 11, John Makes This "Amazing Proclamation!" So Let’s Look 'Closer' Church and See “7” Particulars here which 'Cry Out' for Our Consideration:
First, Notice “WHO” it is that John Speaks of Here: He says~ “THOU….O LORD!” Now, 'Understand' here Beloved, that the Greek Word John Uses is “KURIOS!” It Literally Means~ “Supremacy, Supreme in Authority, The Controller, The Master!” Now, Let Me ask You Dear One today: Is HE “Your” LORD? Is HE Your "Controller?" Is HE Your "Master?" Is HE Your "Supreme Authority?" Because If HE Is 'NOT', Then HE Is "NOT YOUR LORD!" JESUS Said~ “MANY, Will 'Say' to Me In That Day, LORD, LORD……But HE Will Say, I NEVER 'KNEW' YOU, DEPART FROM ME!” Folks, I’m afraid that We’ve Got a Whole 'Lot' of People today Calling JESUS “LORD” When in 'Reality' HE Is "NOT THEIR LORD!" I Didn't Say they're NOT "SAVED" but I DID SAY that They Have 'NOT' MADE HIM "LORD" OF THEIR LIVES!!!
But Secondly, Notice HIS “DESCRIPTION” of The LORD: John writes~ “THOU ART 'WORTHY' O LORD!” Ah Yes Indeed Church, OUR “LORD” Is “WORTHY!!!” That Means that HE Is “Axios” which is the 'Greek' Word for “DESERVING!” Listen to Me, "JESUS CHRIST" Is the 'ONLY PERSON' In the “UNIVERSE” Who is TRULY “DESERVING” (WORTHY) of All "Homage & Adoration!" HE’S WORTHY, and in chapter 5:12 John writes~ “WORTHY IS THE LAMB THAT WAS 'SLAIN' TO RECEIVE!” HE’S "WORTHY" Saints Because HE is The 'ONLY ONE' that was "SLAIN FOR OUR SINS!!!"
But Thirdly, Notice “WHAT” HE is Worthy of: John says~ “THOU ART WORTHY O LORD, TO RECEIVE GLORY!” Oh Yes I Love this! John 'Declares' to the World Here, that JESUS CHRIST 'ALONE' IS WORTHY TO “RECEIVE ALL GLORY” Throughout "ALL ETERNITY!!!" The Greek Word is “DOXA” and Means~ “HONOUR, PRAISE, AND WORSHIP!” Do You 'Understand' Dear Friend today, that JESUS CHRIST “Must” Be the Sole 'Object' of Your Praise, Worship, and Adoration??? HE 'Alone' Must Become the Personal 'Focal-Point' of Your Heart’s "Affection!" That's Because HE ALONE IS "WORTHY OF GLORY!!!" But Something Else:
Fourthly, Something 'Else' HE is Worthy of: John says~ “THOU ART WORTHY O LORD, TO RECEIVE GLORY 'AND' HONOUR!” Now, Here is Another Incredible 'Bestowal' that JESUS CHRIST is 'WORTHY' Of: “HONOUR!” That is in the Greek~ 'TIME' Which Means: “TO BE ESTEEMED IN THE 'HIGHEST' POSSIBLE DEGREE!” It Means~ “TO BE 'MOST' PRECIOUS, MOST 'HIGHLY' VALUED!” Did You 'Hear' that? Now Let Me ask: Do “You” HONOUR “HIM” As Your "Most Precious and Highly Valued Possession?" Because John Says "HE’S WORTHY OF HONOUR!!!"
But Fifthly, John says There is Something 'Else' HE'S WORTHY of: He writes~ “THOU ART WORTHY O LORD, TO RECEIVE GLORY, and HONOUR, and POWER!” Now, this is No 'Ordinary' Power Saints, the Greek Word is “DUNAMIS” and Means~ “MIRACULOUS POWER!!!” It Literally Means~ “EXPLOSIVE” POWER!!! This Word “Dunamis” is where we Get our 'English' Word~ “DYNAMITE!” Listen Now Beloved, 'JESUS' Said in Matthew 28:18~ “ALL 'POWER' IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS 'GIVEN' UNTO ME!” Did You 'Hear' That? JESUS “POSSESSES” ALL POWER "IN THE UNIVERSE!!!" So Please 'Tell' Me Dear One, What 'Problem' in Your Life is there that HE 'Cannot' Handle??? Hey, HE’S The ONE 'With' ALL the "POWER" to 'OVERCOME' Our Circumstances!!!
But Sixthly, Notice The “REASON” Why HE Is WORTHY: John writes~ “THOU ART WORTHY O LORD, TO RECEIVE GLORY, AND HONOUR, AND POWER: FOR THOU HAST 'CREATED' ALL THINGS!” What? Did You 'Hear' That Church? Beloved, John, "by" the 'HOLY SPIRIT' Here, 'Gives' Us the Fundamental “REASON” Why JESUS CHRIST is "WORTHY" of ALL GLORY, HONOUR, and POWER: it’s Because "HE MADE EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS!!!" Listen to Me 'Carefully' Dear One, JESUS CHRIST “GAVE” YOU Your Being! Did You 'Hear' Me??? HE “MADE” You Who and 'What' You Are!!! Now, Can there Possibly Be Any 'Greater' Reason for HIM to Be "WORTHY" of ALL That We Have, and "ALL" That We Are???
But Notice Seventhly, and Finally, The “PURPOSE” For OUR CREATION: John writes~ “THOU ART WORTHY O LORD, TO RECEIVE GLORY, AND HONOUR, AND POWER: FOR THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS, AND FOR THY 'PLEASURE' THEY ARE AND WERE CREATED!” Oh Me Oh My Beloved, Did You 'Catch' That? Listen Very 'Carefully' in Closing today: 'YOU' Were “MADE” for the Express “PURPOSE” of BRINGING “PLEASURE” TO JESUS CHRIST!!! Child of GOD Did You 'Hear' What I Just Said? Listen Now, the 'One' Single Reason Why “MOST” People in the World today Are "Not" Content, is Simply 'Because' They are "NOT FULFILLING THE PURPOSE" FOR THEIR EXISTENCE, WHICH IS TO “PLEASE” GOD!!! Did You 'Hear' Me??? And Friends 'When' We Do Not Function In the Intended 'Design' of Our MAKER, We "CANNOT HAVE PEACE & CONTENTMENT WITHIN!!!" But Oh the Blessed 'Truth' is, that 'When' We "DO" LIVE OUR LIVES FOR THE INTENTIONAL 'PURPOSE' OF “PLEASING” OUR GREAT GOD, 'THEN' WE TRULY FULFILL OUR "PURPOSE" OF EXISTENCE, and THE RESULT IS "JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY!!!" So My 'Word' today Beloved: Daily "Acknowledge" HIS WORTHINESS, and RECOGNIZE “WHY” HE CREATED YOU, and BRING HIM “PLEASURE” IN EVERY 'AREA' OF YOUR LIFE, and I PROMISE, YOU WILL HAVE SUCH “UNSHAKABLE” PEACE & JOY THAT YOU WILL 'NEVER' REGRET IT!!! Blessings to All, and Shalom...
