(Revelation 2: 2-3) (Revelation 2: 7) - THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THOSE WHO DO THE WORK OF GOD



2 I know thy works, and thy work, and thy patience, and that thou canst not suffer the wicked; and thou hast tried them that say they are apostles, and they are not, and thou hast found them liars.
3 And thou hast suffered, and thou hast patience; and thou hast labored for my name, and thou hast not wearied. (Revelation 2: 2-3)

7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches: To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. (Revelation 2: 7)

Dear brothers and sisters, it is with great joy and joy that we return to study the word of God together with you in the presence of the CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH in the presence of the LORD JESUS ​​CHRIST and in the presence of the HOLY SPIRIT.

Studying the word of God, directed by the HOLY SPIRIT, becomes much more pleasing and broadens the understanding, and we understand the purpose of God in all the messages that the HOLY SPIRIT passes for us to study and understand, we thrive, we ascend one step more in the knowledge of the KINGDOM OF GOD, and the virtues of ALTÍSSIMO.

Those who have the mission to pass the GOSPEL in its fullness in full, to those who are interested in ETERNAL LIFE, these so-called Preachers of the Word of God, must automatically have the characteristics necessary to be a messenger of the PLANE OF GOD, for all those who want to know the PLANE OF GOD.

If he does not have the characteristics of a messenger, guided and directed by the HOLY SPIRIT, he will not be a true messenger, but a false messenger and a liar.

We are studying today, these characteristics that we find in the book of Revelation, in chapter 2, where the Apostle John is writing to the first church, the church of Ephesus.

In verse 2 and 3, he is passing here, these characteristics that must possess the messengers of the WORD OF GOD.

         1º - I KNOW YOUR WORKS (I mean, it has to have good works)
         2º - And your work (I mean, that has to be hardworking and dedicated)
          3 - AND YOUR PATIENCE (That is, if you do not have patience, you can not be a messenger).
         4º - CAN NOT SUFFER THE BAD (That is, when evil sees us, we can not suffer, we have to accept it as if nothing is happening)
         And you have patience, we have to do much work for the name of the LORD, and we can not be weary or discouraged, and we can not be discouraged, nor give up).
These characteristics are proper and not changeable, there is no way to change them, we can use Shakespeare's expression: "BE OR NOT BE, THAT IS THE QUESTION".

Those who are messengers, can not leave these characteristics, nor introduce new ones to alleviate the load that has to load.

BECAUSE ?
Because work only thrives on such characteristics, and the end, it speaks also.

In verse 7, he speaks of the end result of those who have these characteristics: "HE WHO HAS HEARING, HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS TO THE CHURCHES: WHEN HE WINS, I WILL GIVE YOU THE EATING OF THE TREE OF LIFE WHICH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF PARADISE OF GOD ".

So brothers, first comes the performance and execution part of the PLAN OF GOD, and if we do it with the necessary characteristics, we will also have the positive and winning result, and a great victory.

And the reward will also be granted. Let us eat of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Dear brothers and sisters, only those who carry out the work of God know the difficulties they encounter, and the strength they have to find only in GOD, to continue doing the work with dedication, patience, hard work, and not getting tired , and never give up. Then we will reach the Glorious end, taste the fruit of the TREE OF LIFE, AND LIVE ETERNALLY WITH GOD.

AMEN

GLORY TO GOD
