Revelation of the Word:

THEME: GOD OUR CREATOR

Revelation 21:1-5 NKJV

“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.”

INSIGHT

-The hope of the renewal and restitution of all things had been long cherished. The sea, often symbolic in biblical literature of chaos, danger, and separation, is no more, possibly represents the end of forces hostile to God’s purposes and the final eradication of evil and disorder. These scriptures introduce the concept of a new heaven and a new earth, where the old creation, marred by sin and suffering, has passed away, signifying God’s complete renewal of the cosmos and the second coming of Jesus Christ.

SUMMARY

Creation expresses God’s character and power. God displayed His sovereignty and rulership though creation. He displayed His power by creating the world with His spoken Word. God created all and revealed Himself to all. Thus, all of us who know Him personally and put their trust in Him. God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth by His Spirit who was hovering over the face of the waters (Genesis 1:1-2). God created us in His own image and likeness and gave us dominion over the fish of the sea, birds of the air, cattle, and all the earth (Genesis 1:26-27). God created the heavens and the earth, the seas and all sea creatures (Nehemiah 9:6). God created the visible and invisible things, thrones and dominions, principalities and powers (Colossians 1:16-17). God alone is worthy of praise for creating the heavens and the earth and all creation and everything that has breath praises Him (Psalm 150:6).

PRAYER

 Almighty Father we enthrone You and exult Your holy name. You alone are worthy and able. Nothing is too hard for You. You are lifted high above every throne, principality, power, dominion and ruler. You are exulted above all the heavens and the earth. You are Yahweh, Alpha and Omega. We lift Your name high Oh God Almighty. May You wash us with Your precious blood and sanctify us through and through dear Jesus. May You open double doors for us and grant us peace and prosperity in every sphere of our lives. May You bless us abundantly so that in all things at all times having all that we need, we may abound in every good work. May You bless us and keep us dear Jesus. May You shine Your face towards us and be gracious unto us. May You show Your countenance unto us and give us peace. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us now and forevermore. Amen.
