THE ISLAND OF PATMOS 1 || UK FIRE CONFERENCE 2024 || LONDON, UK || ISAAC OYEDEPO

Introduction:
“I, John, both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island 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 I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭1‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

THE ISLAND OF PATMOS
* A New Generation is being birth in the stature of the Old Generation.
The Island of Patmos, just in the first description, represents the following;

- The people on this Island may be in their Wilderness Season, or just coming out of one, but I’m about to launch them into a new season.
2. The Island of Patmos is a Mountain of Voices - Rev. 1:8. March 15, 2020 - “Men are made in crisis and voices are heard in crisis.”

4. The Island of Patmos is a Call to Ascend - Rev. 4:1
5. The Island of Patmos is a place of Glorious Encounters - The entire book of Revelation.
* I sense the Lord, through these glorious encounters, on the Island of Patmos, birthing a generation of fire brand - Zech. 3:2

Focus:
THE ISLAND OF PATMOS
[RETURN TO YOUR FIRST LOVE]
* Return to your First Love, for your Love has waxed cold - Rev. 2:4-5
- Laxity has set in
- Lukewarmness has resulted
- Religion has replaced Intimacy
- Hunger and Thirst has died
The Lord said the following as we were seeking His face concerning this meeting:
* “Return…” says the Spirit and the Bride.
* “I am tired of your forms that lack Power. I am tired of your Wood that lacks the fire…” - Leveticus 6:12
* “While I am interested in your generation, I am much more interested in you. For you can partner with me in setting your generation on fire.”
* “While your activities are full, you are empty in reality.”
DO YOU WANT TO RETURN?
1. Repent - Hear what the Spirit of the Lord says, REPENT - Rev. 2:5. Five of the seven churches that John was asked to write to were asked to Repent. Repentance is not just for the world. It is for the Church.
2. Review - There is need for us to review consistently. When it comes to the subject of our Return to our First Love, we Review by Remembering - Rev. 2:5
3. Re-Set - The Review should lead to a Reset. We should not just. A return in itself talks about a reset. Rev. 1:5 - “… do the first works…”
4. Re-focus - The Re-Set will lead to a Re-focus. We will now need to set our affection to things above - Rev. 1:5/. Hunger for God and the things of God - Ps. 42:1-2
5. Re-claim - The ultimate of a Return is not just to get back to where we fell but where we should be standing - Rev. 1:5 (Remember where you have fallen…. A Candlestick that should be standing in a place)
