DON’T SIT ON THE FENCE

I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. (Revelation 3:15-16). Nothing annoys God like people who don’t know where they stand; people who are one leg here, one leg there. It is worse when those people are believers who don’t want to fully identify with the savior. In church, they are churchy and holy but at home, work, they are like carnal people doing things unbelievers do. When troubles come, they try God and also try other alternatives. This is wrong! The letter in Revelations 3 was written to a church in Laodicea. It was not written to unbelievers. That is to show you that God is angry with people in church who are still sitting on the fence; those who are neither hot nor cold. 

Everywhere in scripture, God calls for total commitment to Him from those who want to serve Him. “And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.” (I Kings 18:21). This led to the killing of the prophets of baal because God was jealous. That day, the children of Israel made up their minds to serve the only true God.

Beloved, on which side of the fence are you; On God’s side or on the world’s side? “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.” (James 4:4). If you keep sitting on the fence, the enemy will still get you. Make up your mind today and serve God.
