THE PREDICAMENT OF THE RICH CHURCH. There is complete blindness evidenced in this Assembly. Perhaps these are worldly wise but spiritually they are defunct. They are incapable to assess their spiritual poverty. The consolation of riches will have a fivefold consequence.Resulting in the individual being wretched and miserable {pitiable},and poor {beggar}, spiritually pathetic. Blind, coming from a root word;meaning, to be high minded, to be lifted up with pride. Today the blind are leading the blind in a way that daily is shaping a segment of the church to conform to the Laodicean church. Naked, to be without the garments provided for us by the Lord. Rom. 13:14 We are to put on Christ.
A DIVINE OFFER OF RECONCILIATION. Evidence that the love of the Lord is still extended to his church. I counsel thee. This is an opportunity to receive perfect advise from the Lord Himself. Rev. 3:18 The consul of the Lord is a true guide in life and an assurance of heaven. Ps. 73:24 We have the counsel of the Lord with us constantly, the Word of the Lord. When we live by the BOOK we walk in His ways. BUY GOLD, buy truth, wisdom instruction and understanding. Prov. 23:23 Not just gold, but tested and tried gold. That which is in pure condition, having been through the smelting process. Now purified. The trial of FAITH, tested by fire. Whose value is evidenced at the appearing {revelation, coming,manifestation} of the Lord Jesus. 1 Pet. 1:7 This is true wealth. It is not only for our life span here on earth but it is for eternity as well. BUY, THAT YOU MIGHT BE RICH.Are we missing the mark by concentrating on natural wealth and not eternal wealth? So much time and emphasis is spent on urging Christians to become rich in the things of this world.Then that will make you spiritual.There is a tremendous temptation involved here. Having what we desire and more is greatly appealing to the carnal man. Here is some excellent counsel from the WORD. Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world the love of the Father IS NOT IN HIM.1 Jn. 2:15 May we always pattern our life according to His WORD. Put Him first, then, things will fall into place and you will be cared for. WHITE CLOTHING. The wedding gown. The purity and righteousness of Christ imputed to His Beloved. Rev. 19:8 ANOINTED EYES. How vital. Here is to be found vision and revelation brought to us by the ANOINTING, the HOLY SPIRIT. Eyes that are singled on the truth of the Word. Mt. 6:22 Eyes that comprehend the Word of the Lord and are able to see clearly His intents and purposes. Eyes that are filled with love and are fully focused on Jesus. The eye gate is the door to learning, both naturally and spiritually. The majority of that which we learn enters through the eye. We are to keep His Law as the apple of our eye. Prov. 7:2
