DON'T GIVE UP ON FAITH. THERE IS A REWARD FOR YOU

TOPIC: DON'T GIVE UP ON FAITH. THERE IS A REWARD FOR YOU

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 KJV
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. [25] And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. [26] I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: [27] But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

There are five heavenly crowns mentioned in the New Testament that will be awarded to believers. They are the imperishable crown, the crown of rejoicing, the crown of righteousness, the crown of glory, and the crown of life.

The Greek word translated “crown” is stephanos (the source for the name Stephen the martyr) and means “a badge of royalty, a prize in the public games or a symbol of honor generally.” Used during the ancient Greek games, it referred to a wreath or garland of leaves placed on a victor’s head as a reward for winning an athletic contest.

As such, this word is used figuratively in the New Testament of the rewards of heaven God promises those who are faithful. Paul’s passage in 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 best defines for us how these crowns are awarded.

God require of me and you to be faithful in our dealings here on earth and in our assignment,
Ask yourself, am I faithful in my calling? The only thing that make us not faithful is because of what we are facing and our lack and want, but God will surely reward us if we endure to the end and live a life of contentment

LET US PRAY
You will overcome all your temptation and you will make it to the prosperity state of life in Jesus Name and you will not miss heaven.
