Revelation 3:1-6


"Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God."
{Revelation 3:2} (NIV1984)

These letters from our Lord to His seven churches are a constant encouragement to all who read them. To realize that the Lord walks amongst each local church, including Parkdale, and has a Word of encouragement for all of us, brings a tremendous peace to anyone involved in the work of a local church. Surely He is with us always!

Parkdale is a church that belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ. We are His church, His bride, His people. We meet on Sundays and look around at each other, even catch up on our week. The Lord is with us during our week. He doesn’t need to catch up with us on Sunday, for He knows every step we took, every word we said, every thought we had, everything we did. Out of the seven letters, five of them say, “I know your deeds”. This letter says that their deeds were not complete. 

Oh friend, may we heed the words of our Lord, may we “Wake up!” May we strengthen our faith and may we complete the deeds that our Lord has prepared for us to do for His glory and for our covering. Move Holy Spirit, move! Wake up church, wake up!
