Revelation 3:19-22
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.
21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Some things for us that should be ever present in our following the King in Victory:
- Be a Listener: Listen to what the King says – 2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:29, 3:6, 3:13, 3:22
-
- To listen is the only way to overcome…
- [James 1:22 NIV] 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
- Be an Overcomer – 2:7, 2:11, 2:17, 2:26, 3:5, 3:12, 3:21
-
- We have to know that Jesus wants us to overcome.
- [John 16:33 NIV] 33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
- Be faithful – 2:3, 2:10, 2:13, 2:19, 3:3, 3:10, 3:19
-
- Faithful definition: Trusting in Jesus above anyone or anything else.
- Be Obedient to Jesus: Let Jesus in – 3:20

Jesus is coming back, so get ready. Let Him in, listen, overcome and be faithful.
