Never Deny the Name of Jesus

Continuing from RO Focus 5 on the Revelation Overcomer church of Philadelphia, they were true to the Word of God and they never denied the Name of Jesus.

It must have been a significant challenge for the Philadelphia church to fight those who attacked them from the synagogue of Satan. Undoubtedly, these folks were trying to force the Revelation Overcomers in Philadelphia to deny the Name of Jesus. But the believers in that church repeatedly refused to cave in to Satan’s lies and deceptive misrepresentations.

They stood firm on the Word of God and they never denied the Name of Jesus. Their faith was strong, true and unwavering!

 Scriptures:

Revelation 3:8 (NIV)
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

Revelation 2:13 (NIV)
I know where you live–where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city–where Satan lives (The church in Pergamum, but also true for the Christian church in Philadelphia)

Revelation 3:11 (NIV)
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.

Prayer:

Father in Heaven, thank You that you have set before me an open door which no one can close! Help me to recognize that door and strengthen me to walk though it in accordance with Your will and in Your time. I desire to be a Revelation Overcomer so strengthen me, Holy Spirit, to always keep the Word of God and never deny the Name of Jesus.

Lord Jesus, You will soon be returning to bring Your bride back to the Wedding Feast with no end. May I be ready and may my family and my congregation, indeed, the entire body of Christ worldwide be ready for Your soon return having fulfilled all of Your redemptive plans and purposes to Your glory and honor and praise and delight in Jesus’ Everlasting Name. Amen
