brimstone: which is the second death. – Revelation 21:8

Open Heaven 9
December 2020 Wednesday MESSAGE:
The second death is mentioned on multiple occasions in the book of Revelation and it is synonymous with the lake of fire. It is a ‘death’ in that it is an eternal separation from God, the Giver of life.
Open Heaven 9 December 2020 – THE SECOND DEATH
It is called the
‘second’ death because it follows the physical one. Our memory verse (Revelation 21:8) explains the second
death in the most detail.

From this Bible verse, we see a detailed list of those who will
experience the second death. Check to be sure that you don’t fit into this
list, because the second death is an experience you should not want to be part
of at all. Check carefully, and if there is any one of these qualities present
in your life, repent immediately.
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.” – Revelation 2:11
Open Heaven 9 December 2020: [Wednesday] Daily Devotional By Pastor E.A Adeboye – THE SECOND DEATH
The good news according to Revelation 2:11 is that no true
believer will experience the second death. While the unbelievers are burning in
the lake of fire, we will be in the presence of God rejoicing and praising Him
forever. On which side do you want to be? If you want to be rejoicing in the
presence of God forever, then you must overcome. You must overcome all
temptations you are facing; you must overcome the devil and all his tricks; you
must overcome the lusts of the flesh. The Bible tells us that no one will ever
be tempted beyond what he or she can bear and that God will always make a way
of escape for us (1 Corinthians 10:13). If
you however say you cannot overcome the temptations facing you right now, then
you are asking for the second death which comes with eternal sorrow, anguish
and no way of escape. It is your choice.
Open Heaven 9 December 2020 Wednesday Reflection:
If you don’t overcome and your name is not found in the book of
life, you will be thrown into the lake of fire for eternity. Are you ready to
give all that it takes to overcome?
Open Heaven 9 December 2020 Wednesday Hymn 18: My Faith Looks Up To Thee
My
faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine!
May
Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire!
While
life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
When
ends life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Savior, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!
Reflection
If you don’t overcome and your name is not found in the book of
life, you will be thrown into the lake of fire for eternity. Are you ready to
give all that it takes to overcome?
