Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
August 29, 2025: SOAP #5748: Ezekiel 4-7; Revelation 3

SCRIPTURE:  Revelation (NIV) 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
21 To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne.
22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

OBSERVATION:  In the last message to the seven churches in Revelation 2 & 3, we have this invitation.  The Lord is standing on the outside and is knocking to gain entrance.  He wants to be on the inside but will not enter unless invited. 

If invited, He will eat with them, have fellowship with them.  He will sit at the table of their life and participate with what they have.  AND they will eat with Him at the table prepared for Him!  They will have fellowship with Him!

APPLICATION:  There can be no question as to who gets the better deal!  Jesus sitting at my table, eating what I have to eat, OR me sitting with him on His throne and eating what He has to eat, enjoying what is prepared in heaven for Him!!!  

Whatever I have, I consider it HIS.  He always has the seat of honor in my house.  From what I see in the scriptures He is saving a special seat for me;  I want to make sure He gets the best seat here that I can possibly provide. 

PRAYER:  Lord, you are welcome in my life and my home.  I want you feel comfortable living in me.  I want my words, thoughts, and actions not offend you.  Please feel free to correct me and show me how I can improve.  May you enjoy living in me and sharing my life.  It is a great honor to have you living in me, and it would give me much pleasure to know that you enjoy living in me.   Amen
