BEATITUDES

(Bible in one year Deut 10-12)
Memorise: "And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God" (Rev 19:9)

Read: Revelation 19:7-9

"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life" (1 John 1:1).

When God gave the Book of Revelation to John the Beloved, through an angel in Revelation 22:16, he declared what was given to him. That is faithfulness! By the time some believers are relating certain divine messages to those they should, they would have lost some details. Others, in trying to create unnecessary impressions would have added to what was given. All John documented in the Book of Revelation were things he saw, heard or touched. He got them first hand.
How good are you at documenting divine communication? You cannot be faithful if you keep losing Heavenly information sent to you. Do you forget your dreams regularly? Ask God to destroy that yoke. It is Satan's strategy to keep you in the dark concerning events that are about to take place that God wants you to know.

"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand" (Rev 1:3). In Matthew 5:1-12, the Lord gave us a list of beatitudes which every believer can partake of. Similarly, in the Book of Revelation, we meet with some other beatitudes. Do you know that you can partake of the blessings in Revelation by reading, hearing and adequately redefining your actions to tally with God's counsel contained in the book? Also, if you are born again and faithfully serve the Lord until death, you are blessed (Rev 14:13). Another way to enjoy the blessings contained in the Book of Revelation is by constantly watching and waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ (Rev 16:15). In the same vein, Revelation 19:7-9 says those who are invited to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb are blessed. If the guests are blessed, then the bride is most fortunate. Who is the bride? If you are born again or washed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, you are the bride. You need no invitation to this wedding of weddings. It is your day of glory. You are the one Jesus is coming to wed. Have you made yourself ready? Is your life totally free from sin within and without? Are you partaking of the blessings of the Book of Revelation?

Like earthly promos are run by organizations to provoke greater patronage and customer loyalty, so also the beatitudes are Heavenly promos to provoke Word compliance.
