Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer

December 27: Revelation 1-4

Scripture: Revelation 2:2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. Verses 2:9, 13, 19, 3:1, 8, 15

Observation: Jesus was giving John a message for each of the seven churches in the province of Asia. Each message has a portion beginning with “I know…” He did not say, “You are probably…” or “It has been told me…” or “Others think…” When we stand before Jesus, we can be certain that He knows!

Application: He knows me. He understands my struggles. He knows what I am going through. He knows me. I cannot fool him. He also knows those around me. He also knows what they say about me and how they treat me.

Prayer: Lord, I can trust you totally for there is nothing hidden from you. Amen
