LESSON 9
Topic:
WARNING AGAINST
CORRUPTION IN THE
CHURCH
Revelation 2: 18-29
Corruption simply means doing something
morally bad. Engaging in sinful acts that
defiles, stains and destroys life.
God has called us unto holiness. He wants us
to do what is right and pleasing unto Him at all
times.
The Thyatira church had some good works, but
underneath were some corrupt practices.
Jesus gave them time to repent, but they
never did. He promised to punish the wicked
people in the church unless they forsake their
bad ways. He also promised to bless the
righteous if they follow Him to the end.
Friends of Jesus
should avoid all
forms of
corruption.
Be a shining light
and influence
others to live a
holy and righteous
life.
Three points to consider
1. CHRIST'S WARNING
AGAINST CORRUPTION
2. CONSEQUENCES OF ALLOWING
CORRUPTION IN THE CHURCH
It is dangerous to remain
in sin and also cause
others to do bad things.
The consequences of such
actions are unbearable.
If you are still a sinner
influencing other children
to disobey God's word,
repent now before it is
too late.
Do not be like the Jezebel in Thyatira church.
Jesus is warning you. Therefore, come to
Jesus now. Pray and confess your sins to Him.
Ask Him to forgive you, cleanse your heart
with His blood, and invite Him to come into
your heart to be your Saviour and Friend.
From now onwards,
be an obedient child
of God.
Read the Bible,
believe it, obey all
the instructions and
share the love of
Jesus with others.
