The Lord charged the church at Ephesus with having ‘left your first love’ (see Revelation 2:4) and the church of Laodicea with being ‘neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm’ (see Revelation 3:15-16). R.T. Kendall said, ‘The greatest opposition to what God wants to do next comes from those who were on the cutting edge of what God did last.’ Read the following Scriptures carefully and prayerfully: ‘Do not say, “Why were the former days better than these?” For you do not inquire wisely concerning this’ (Ecclesiastes 7:10 NKJV). ‘The path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day’ (Proverbs 4:18 NKJV). ‘Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord…He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth’ (Hosea 6:3 NKJV). ‘When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you’ (John 16:13-14 NKJV). ‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know’ (Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV). ‘May [you] be able to comprehend…the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God’ (Ephesians 3:18-19 NKJV). The word for today is – God has more in store for you.
