Verses:

 

Rev. 3:8 “You have a little power and have kept My word and have not denied My name.

 

Excerpts:

 

In 3:8 we see the condition of the church in Philadelphia. Firstly, this church had “a little power.” Many times we estimate the church in Philadelphia too highly, thinking that this church was strong and prevailing. Actually, it was not so. While we estimate the church in Philadelphia very highly, the Lord says that she had “a little power.” What pleases the Lord is not that we are strong, but that we use our little power to do the best we can. Do not try to be strong. The strong ones may not please the Lord as much as those who do their best with the little power they have. You can never surpass what the Lord gives you. Simply spend what you have received from Him. Do not usurp the Lord’s grace. None among us can say that he has received nothing from the Lord. Even the least among us has received a certain amount of grace from Him. You must spend that grace, using it to do your best. If you do this, the Lord will appreciate you and say, “Good. You have a little power, yet you have kept My word with the power you have.” Do not seek to be a giant. The Lord is not happy with giants; He is happy with the little ones who have an amount of grace. Although that grace may be limited in its capacity, as long as we use it, spending it to do as much as we can to keep the Lord’s word, He will be pleased. (Life-study of Revelation, msg. 15)
