The imperishable crown 👑


IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL

TOPIC: THE IMPERISHABLE CROWN

Yesterday I started a new topic of morning meal with us about our reward and we should not be weary, nor faint on our Christian journey in life because there is a reward for us if we are faithful.
Today I want to start mentioning the reward. Lets starts with imperishable crown. Hallelujah...
This is the Victor's Crown - for those who Disciplined their Bodies, and brought their Bodies unto Subjection— and had Self-control. If you want to win this crown then discipline yourself in all worldly things, in eaten, drinking, wearing, going, visiting, discussing, purchasing, using, attaining, and in all things of life discipline yourself.

1 Corinthians 9:24-25 “Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate [disciplined] in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown” (NKJV).

All things on this earth are subject to decay and will perish. Jesus urges us to not store our treasures on earth “where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal” (Matthew 6:19). This is analogous to what Paul was saying about that wreath of leaves that was soon to turn brittle and fall apart. But not so the heavenly crown;

faithful endurance wins a heavenly reward which is “an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you (1 Peter 1:3-5).

LET US PRAY
In Jesus Name I declare you a winner, you will not disappoint God and you will not miss your appointed time. Amen
