A Successful Church's DNA
Revelation 3:8b for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name.
What a church, Philadelphia turned out to be. Jesus has nothing to correct in it. Not perfect, but perfectly walking after the Spirit & seeking Christ. Jesus reveals that He is the one opening doors no man opens. This revelation means nothing to a Christian who can care less about lost souls. The Christian who doesnt see the need to share their faith because judgment is coming. No, this means everything to us who live our lives daily to have these open doors to see Jesus work. And because of our new hearts & desires the Spirit has given us, we trust His strength when we are all weak, we hold dear His word in an ever changing world, & we live lives confessing Jesus is our LORD. That Jesus lives today. That when others see us, there is no doubt Jesus is alive. Now, some write books and others have seminars about church growth and success and how to achieve such. I will save you a lot of heartache and money. One only needs to study this church of Philadelphia and Jesus' response to it. This is what God views as a successful church. Are you doing these three things?
