A Great Multitude

Scripture:

Revelation 7:9  "After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.  They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands".

Observation:

John was in heaven and saw a beautiful picture of an innumerable group of people who were from every nation of the earth.  They were worshiping God and blessing Him.  They were singing about salvation because they had been saved.

Application:

Sometimes it seems not many are being saved in our little corner of the earth, but the Kingdom of God is global and around the earth today there are more people coming to Christ than at any time in history.  God's will is for every tribe and nation to come into relationship with Him.  I have a unique opportunity to touch nations for the Lord because of the location of our church and the make up of our church.  I want to see a great multitude of people in Northern, VA from every nation and tribe being saved so we can help build this picture John saw in the Spirit.

Prayer:

Father, you are amazing and I worship You this morning.  Help us build a house of prayer for all nations.  Show me the way to reach the nations for your glory.  Open doors and send people to our church from every nation, tribe and tongue.  When they come, let them meet Christ in a real, personal and powerful way.

Your Servant,
Jeff
