| Jesus told
us to be faithful until death, then He will give us the crown of
life. These words are our key to overcoming. There are many different
beautiful gifts and talents in the kingdom of God, but we must treasure
faithfulness. Heaven is filled with overcomers. Those overcomers
were very faithful. They faithfully followed the voice of God. They
faithfully carried the cross of Jesus all the way to the end. They
faithfully fought the good fight.
These are the last days. Jesus is walking around the church,
looking for those who walk on the road of righteousness. He is
looking for someone who is faithful, working behind others. Faithfulness
never seeks for its own glory. Those who are faithful are quiet,
but in the time of trial, their faithful prayers and patience
start to be lit up like a bright morning star. Every church needs
to treasure its behind the scenes faithful ones. The church should
not make the mistake of treasuring those who have high gifts,
name, and fame.
People are always fascinated by outside beauty, by those who
have talents, those who can sing like angels, or good speakers.
They forget those who are behind, faithfully praying and seeking.
Because of these faithful people who are behind the church and
its pastor, the church has victory; people are still running to
the altar, the mercy seat of God, and repenting. They are turning
their lives over to Jesus because faithful ones are behind everything.
Because of the faithful, we can run the good race and overcome.
We serve a God of faithfulness. His name is Faithful and True.
He faithfully watches over us. His Spirit guides us to His throne.
These are the last days. We need to open our ears to hear what
the Spirit of God is saying to us. The church needs to hear what
the Spirit of God says. Jesus is coming back soon. All overcomers
will meet Jesus in the air and have a feast and wedding celebration
with Him. But failures will be left behind.
Revelation 3:5
“He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and
I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will
confess his name before My Father and before His angels.”
You Are My Adonai
Spirit of God, You are my Adonai
And my breath of life
Without You, this life is nothing
I just want to be in Your Spirit, hearing Your voice
Spirit of God in this worship
You gently hold my hand
and guide me to Your throne
Oh, my Lord, let Your mercy help me
To stay in Your throne
This is all I want
You always look at my heart and
say,
“Soon and very soon,
Heaven and earth shall pass away
and you will reign with Me forever
and you will see Me face to face
Until then, be faithful My bride
Be faithful until death.”
My Adonai, I will be faithful until death
Your blood brought me to Your side
Everyday You are in my heart
I see Your face in worship
Your beauty of holy fire stirs up my soul again
