THE CROWN OF LIFE


Revelation 2:10 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 thee a crown of life.

Jesus in the book of Revelation had a unique way of introducing himself to each to the Church. To the Church of Ephesus, He was the one he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks. His description of Himself varied from church to church He was addressed different issues with each church. The next Church to receive a letter was Smyrna. Smyrna means myrrh. Jesus Christ revealed Himself to the Church of Smyrna as the resurrected one. Revelation 2:8 "To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. In the birth Story of Jesus Christ myrrh was the last gift presented to Jesus Christ and it was also used in embalming Jesus Christ in death. Myrrh represents preservation and life. For a church who was going to experience great tribulations even unto death, Jesus Had to reveal Himself to them as the God of the resurrection so that in their many tribulations and trials unto death they will have hope and confidence in God that He can raise the dead and that surely in their afflictions He will come through for them hence the need to be faithful. Dearly beloved whatever be your weakness or challenge Jesus will reveal Himself to you in that regard for you as your help and deliverer. All He needs is your faithfulness for Him to turn things around for you.  Anything dead in your life is preserved by the resurrection power of God in Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Father in the name of Jesus Christ cause that resurrection to bring alive anything dead around me and to preserve all that concerns my life in Jesus' name.
