And I saw in the right hand of the One seated upon the throne a scroll, written on both the front and the back, sealed with seven seals. I also saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” No one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it. I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. Then one of the elders tells me, “Stop weeping! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed—He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.” And in the midst of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, I saw a Lamb standing, as having been slain—having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne. When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense—which are the prayers of the kedoshim. And they are singing a new song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals. For You were slain, and by Your blood You redeemed for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them for our God a kingdom and kohanim, and they shall reign upon the earth.” Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders—their number was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands. They were chanting with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”

Revelation is not just a blueprint for the future. It spoke to the church in John's day, and it speaks to us in our day. Revelation has a message and meaning for us every day. This is a 5-day study exploring the throne room in heaven when John received a series of visions for the church to treasure.
This 5-day devotional will inspire, challenge and provoke you to believe that with God all things are possible. Inspired by one church-planter's journey, see how Scripture can start a fire of faith within us, teach us to believe for more, and change how we live. With one spark a whole forest can blaze. Allow the Holy Spirit to light a fresh spark in you to burn for His Kingdom.
In this five-day series of readings from across the breadth of Scripture, we will see how “the nations” have always been the object of God’s love and how he consistently calls his people to join him in his mission to rescue and redeem men and women from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. We will also explore the implications of this for people who desire to live missional lives, aligned with God’s purposes.
