A Word from God about being lukewarm.
I got into the shower today, and while I was waiting for the water to get hot, it seemed like it was never going to get there. I started to ponder on if it was going to be like the week before, where the hot water was out for that day. My disappointment increased, and I asked the Lord to teach me a lesson at that moment. This is what He gave me. He reminded me of being back home in Jamaica, where in my house, bathing with cold water was my normal. I was never disappointed when getting into the shower because I knew what to expect. Yet, here I was, acting as if I was not used to a cold shower. The truth is, I was upset because, for the past four (4) years, I have been taking hot showers. So, whenever I jump into the shower, I expect hot water, and anything less is disappointing. I believe it is the same for the Lord. He says, “But since you are like lukewarm water, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth!” Revelations 3:16. The Lord calls us to be hot for Him. Just as how I expected hot water when I got into the shower, as His children, His desire for us is to seek His holiness, never wavering. Saints, let’s not be lukewarm, let’s not grieve our Savior’s heart. Strive to be holy, as He is holy.
