A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#And unto the angel of the church of Smyrna write: These things saith the first and the last which was dead and is alive. I know thy works and tribulations and poverty: ( but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews and are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried and ye shall have tribulation ten days be thou faithful unto death and I will give you the crown of life. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches: He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. Revelation 2:8-11
#Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write, these things said he that holdeth the seven stars in His right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works and thy labor and thy patience and how thou canst not bear them which are evil and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles and are not and has found them to be liars, and hast has borne and hast patience and for my name's sake hast labored and hast not fainted. Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the first works or else I will come unto thee quickly and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, thou repent. Revelation 2:1-5
Jesus commends the church in Ephesus for all the good things they were doing, but there was one thing that He rebuked them for. They had left their first love. He said repent from whence you have fallen or I will remove your candlestick. We must spend time with God everyday walking and obey His word. We love Him because He first loved us. Do not let any sin have dominion over me so that my love for you will be constant. Then pray to God every day so that my love will grow stronger for God every day.
#And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man clothed with a garment down to the foot and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow and His eyes were a flame of fire. And His feet like unto brass as if they burned in a furnace and His voice as the sound of many waters. And He had in His right hand seven stars and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword. And His countenance was as the sun shineth in His strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not I am the first and the last: I am He that liveth and was dead and behold I am alive for evermore. Amen and have the keys of hell and of death. Write the things which thou sawest in my right hand and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. Revelation 1:12-20
John saw the risen Savior the Lord Jesus Christ in all of His glory this is what He will look like when we see Him for all of eternity. Jesus stands in the midst of the seven churches with a sharp two-edged sword. The Word of God is the two-edged sword that He uses to judge the churches. He holds the keys to hell and death since He has risen from the dead. John is told to write what he has seen and the mystery of the seven stars which are the angels which are the messengers of the seven churches. The candlesticks are the seven churches that the angels preach to. Jesus is the one Mediator between God and man and He is seated on the right hand of the Father in heaven. Making intercession for you and for me so that we will be able to stand before Him on the last day.
#I John, who also am your brother and companion in tribulation and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. I was in the Spirit on the Lord's Day and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying I am the Alpha and Omega, the first and the last and what thou seest, write in a book and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philidelphia, and unto Laodicea. Revelation 1:9-11
#Behold, He cometh with clouds and every eye shall see Him and them also which pierced Him and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come the Almighty. Revelation 1:7,8
#John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you and peace from Him which is and which was and which is to come and from the seven Spirits which are before His throne. And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness and first-begotten of the dead and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him, that loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood. And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever Amen. Revelation 1:4-6
#The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John: Who bare record of the word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. Revelation 1;1-3
#Then opened He their understanding that they might understand the scriptures. And said unto them. Thus it is written and thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you, but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:45-49
Jesus opened their understanding so that they could see that Christ had to suffer these things and rise from the dead the third day. Then He told them to wait in Jerusalem until they would receive the promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit ten days after His ascension. And it came to pass while He blessed them, He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. And they worshipped Him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.
#And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulcher and found it even so as the women had said, but Him they saw not. Then He said unto them, O fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His glory? Luke 24:24-26
#And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, He said, Father into thy hands I commend my spirit. and having said thus, He gave up the Ghost. Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God saying Certainly this was a righteous man. And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts and returned. And all His acquaintance and the women that followed Him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things. And behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counselor and he was a good man and a just: (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them:) he was of Arimathaea a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. This man went unto Pilate and begged the body of Jesus. And he took it down and wrapped it in linen and laid it in a sepulcher that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. And that day was the preparation and the Sabbath drew on. Luke 23:46-54
