1). Jesus Introduction: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire

and whose feet are like burnished bronze. (Rev 2:18)

Devotional Thought:

Oh Church in Thyatira, I stand before you as the only begotten of the Father full of grace and truth (Jn 1:17), expressing the radiance of His glory (Heb 1:3). I am the fullness of Him (Col 1:19). I am Life (Jn 14:6) and he who has Me has life (1 Jn 5:12). My eyes are blazing (Rev 2:18) with zeal for my house (Psa 69:9). So in righteous judgment I will consume all that stands in the way of my passion until you are wholly mine. My feet are like brass (Rev 2:18) because I with stood the judgment of My Father having become a sin offering for you. I, the Son of God became the Son of Man, the God Man forever, so the Father appointed Me as Judge (Jn 5:27). You will sing for joy when I come to judge the earth (Rev 19:1-8). Soon there will be justice for all.

Related Scriptures:

Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” (Heb.12:28)

Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages. He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he may judge his people: “Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” And the heavens proclaim his righteousness for God himself is judge. (Ps 50:2-6)

2). Jesus Commendation: I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first. (Rev 2:19)

Devotional Thought:

I know your acts of love and compassion toward those I’ve entrusted to you. Your faithful commitment to them is honorable. You are skilled at loving them. You feed the hungry and clothe the naked. And I see you are doing more than you did at first.

3). Jesus Rebuke: Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds. (Rev 2:20-23)

Devotional Thought:

Nevertheless I have this against you: In your man pleasing ways you tolerate the worship of other gods including the god of this age and immorality. I’m asking you to confront her. Procrastinate no longer! If you don’t and she does not repent I will put her and her friends on a bed of suffering. I will strike her children dead. I will give her time to repent but woe to her if she refuses.

4). Jesus Promise: Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets ( I will not impose any other burden on you): Only hold on to what you have until I come. To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over nations –He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery – just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give him the morning star. (Rev 2:24-28)

Devotional Thought:

Thyatira, you are confident in My ways, but take heed therefore, lest you fall. You are not exempt from temptation, (1 Cor 10:12-13). But hold all the tighter to the truth you have till I come and you will have won many to my name and you will reign with me in great authority over many. And to you especially I will give the Morning Star. For unending ages the Bright Morning Star will fascinate and thrill your heart.

Possible Points of Repentance:

Idolatry (spiritual adultery), rebellion, toleration, sexual immorality, the god of this age
