It is said here that among the seven churches in Asia, the Church of Pergamos had some members who followed the doctrine of the Nicolaitans. These people were consumed only by their desire to build up their own worldly wealth and fame, and had no interest in saving souls. Ministers in particularly must be very careful so as not to end up following this doctrine of Balaam. Balaam made the saints worship the world and led them to their destruction.
God gave us His Word of promise that to those who overcome, He will give the hidden manna and a white stone. Put differently, this also means that the pastors who pursue the world will end up losing their manna. The manna here means “the exquisite Word of God,” and losing the hidden manna means losing the will of God that is hidden in His Word.
