DAILY IMMERSION Monday | M04. Those from Tiatira: The golden line of God’s grace
The church’s history teach us with their successes and mistakes. We must consider everything it passed, to not fall on the same mistakes, but to valorize what God’s doing in our midst at the moment. It has been almost 19 centuries of degradation and all started when church stopped to give attention to the living spoken of God. (Rv 2:4-5; 1 Tm 1:3-4)
Starting on the new testament, the New Aliance by Christ’s coming, God has spoken by His Son, Jesus. Today, Jesus still speaks through Her channels, which He chooses, as Yours apostles and prohets. (Hb 1:1-2; Ef 4:12; 1 Co 12:28; Rv 1:1-2).
Soon, on Pentecost day, Jesus started talking through church. Beginning by apostle Peter and the eleven who were with him. Peter became the channel, the spokesperson to speak God’s word. Later, God’s risen apostle Paul and, finally, the apostle John, for given the Son’s spoken to the Church through those channels. Unfortunately, after John, for too many centuries, there were any channel to spoke for God. (Ac 2:14; 4:8-12; 22:14-15; Cl 1:24-26; Rv 1:1).
Why wasn’t anyone risen by God after apostle John left us? I don’t know for sure, but I can do an inference that, by John’s time, the atmosphere to listen prophetic’s word with reverent love, had desapeared. People started to follow church’s positions, charges, aspiring popularity and followers. There was a contest atmosphere to church’s power and position. Probably, when John’s passed by, there was no one eles with a right heart, to been used by God as His channel and to continue the speak prophetic. (3 Jo 9-10; Ac 20:29-30).
