Poverty

"They are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity."


Neither the rich nor the poor can escape the problems of everyday life. However, those who reach the revelation of the Gospel in the midst of their suffering, know the meaning of true joy. This is what makes them eager to help the afflicted and so rich in kindness and generosity. 

Who?

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" Romans 8:35


These are the difficulties faced by everyone, regardless of whether they are Christian or not. It is these difficulties that define whether you are born of God or not. Those who are will pass the test and remain. Those who are not will fall away. For those who are of God, NOTHING AND NO ONE CAN SEPARATE THEM FROM THE LOVE OF THE LORD JESUS. 

The Throne

"He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." Revelation 3:21

In this world, winning an Oscar (or even just sitting in the seat of a Hollywood theatre), is of great value and only for those who have done well at playing others.


However, for us, the followers of the Lord Jesus, there is an invitation to sit beside the King of Kings; a position that holds much honour and cannot be compared to anything this world has to offer. The only entry fee required is to be faithful, just and to abstain all from evil; this is what it is to be an overcomer.

Overcomer

"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name."
                               Revelation 3:12


How wonderful! This is the future of the saved. He will be considered an overcomer; taken to the New Jerusalem where he will remain and given a new name, chosen by the Lord Jesus.

Simple

"The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and he helped me." Psalm 116:6

On the days that faith wavers and the burden of difficulties increase, doubts and fear are quick to appear, to aggravate the situation. But it is written: "The Lord preserves the simple..." And right now, the Eternal has His eyes fixed on you, to protect and restore you.

Beautiful Dresses

"She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25

Women want to be 'in fashion' and to be recognised for their great taste in clothes; that is why they invest in and aspire to be elegant. However, the most attractive and valuable garment is made up of the virtues of faith, as these give strength and hope for the future. This is what makes her dignified and honoured by all.

It Is Done

"The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." Psalm 18:2

1 - The Lord is my Rock and my fortress,
                The Word of God
2 - My deliverer; my God, my rock in whom I take refuge;
                The Holy Spirit
3 - My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
               The Name of Jesus

The Word, the Spirit and the Name. Is it necessary for someone to come to Earth to do what is already clear, true and accomplished?
