A CROWN OF GLORY
Nothing should ever quench your LOVE and PASSION for the Lord. To see someone else do what the Lord has told you to do and You didn't do IS ONE OF THE DEEPEST PAINS and FRUSTRATIONS in life.
Whatever He (God) has deposited in you, whatever responsibility He has given you, HOLD FAST TO IT, for the end of ALL THINGS is near.
YOU HAVE BEEN ENDOWED WITH THE ABILITY AND GRACE TO LEAD PEOPLE TO CHRIST, unveiling to them THE MYSTERY of the Kingdom; KEEP AT IT, THERE IS A CROWN OF GLORY WAITING FOR YOU AT THE END.

Practice they say, makes man perfect. So I will KEEP AT IT UNTIL I GET IT RIGHT AND PERFECT. What are you going to do keep criticising until I get it right and perfect? Well if that's your role in sharpening my writing skills then welcome. I have learnt the truth of success, which is perseverance in the face of all odds. People who stood or stands tall amongst their peers and generation in ALL fields and human endeavours work arround the clock burning the candle at both ends. They NEVER and DON'T STOPPED or QUIT. I have learnt another truth of success that THINGS DON'T JUST HAPPEN. I HAVE TO MAKE THEM HAPPEN so I have acquired, natured and developed the Tenacity of Purpose, Staying Power, Endurance and Stickability to see through my PASSION for the WORD OF GOD and most importantly it's righteousness and sharing to the lost world through social media.
Those who stick arround until they meet the requirements to be honoured in our world, do that to earn perishable crown. But one thing is CERTAIN, I am striving for unperishable CROWN which the Good Lord has reserved for me in heaven that NO ONE can TAKE AWAY FROM ME.
There are copious literature on the fact that this world is not our home and that it is a stage not 'the' stage. We all have to graduate to the next stage which is our home. Being fully aware of the fact that we are just soujourners here on earth and that just as travelling abroad one requires travel documents in the same fashion God will require of you (salvation is personal) not us as a group, family, colleagues et cetera FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS as the Messiah and your confession of Him as such. What are you doing about that?
Secondly we are not striving to be sons or children when we are born again. We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ Jesus. What we are doing here is to meet the Master's standard for the award of CROWNS. What are you going to do about this truth if you are born again? Continue to hide in your comfort zone professing your denomination and man of God? The church is not a denomination nor the nice edifice where you attend church. Neither is it a particular man of God or selected men of God. You are the church. Your cherished man of God is equally answerable to God as you are. He is there to guide you but you are to work out your own salvation (of your SOUL). When you get born again it is your spirit that is a new creature. Your soul and body remains the same. You are charged not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewing of your mind (SOUL) and to keep your mortal body under control and in check. You are to yield the members of your body as instruments unto righteousness. Then bible says, for we do not know when He shall appear, but when He shall appear we shall be like Him. Within a twinkling of an eye we will take off this mortal body and put on immortal and glorified body like Him. So keep yielding the members of your body to be used to share the WORD OF GOD and equally keep the desires of the flesh in check. Do not yeild your body unto unrighteousness.
Do not live your life as if all there is to life is amassing material assets on earth. Life Choices so I choose to share the WORD OF GOD. What are you doing about the WORD OF GOD?
