The Church in Thytira

Thytira is the smallest city out of the 7 churchesbut yet it received the longest letter. This city is a military post and also a trading post.

They were commended for their deeds, their love and their faith, their service and their perseverance.

But they were repoached for allowing the spirit of Jezebel to rule in their lives.
The spirit of idolatry, control, manipulation, revengeful and immorality & lust to penetrate into their lives.

It is said that those under the Jezebel spirit will either become timid and fearful or become another Jezebel.

One thing is needed and that is to repent.
With idolatry, we need to worship God and grow closer to God.
With control, we need to learn to humble
With manipulation, we need to respect and recognise.
With revenge, we need to forgive.
With immorality, we need to live for God to see.
And God will reward us with His kingdom, His power and His glory.

Lord Jesus, help me to grow closer to you in humility, respect and live for God.
