CROWN: Be faithful to Jesus, and He will give you the victor's crown - Revelation 2:10

Don't be afraid of anything you are about to suffer. Listen! The Devil will put you to the test by having some of you thrown into prison, and your troubles will last ten days. Be faithful to Me, even if it means death, and I will give you the victor’s crown. Revelation 2:10

Living Truth:

• "Yes, everyone who wants to live a godly life in union with Christ Jesus will suffer persecution." 2 Timothy 3:12 
• "Blessed are you if you are insulted because you are Christ's followers; this means that the glorious Spirit, the Spirit of God, is resting on you. If you suffer, it must not be because you are a murderer or a thief or a criminal or a meddler in other people's affairs. However, if you suffer because you are a Christian, don't be ashamed of it, but thank God that you bear Christ's name." 1 Peter 4:14-16

Prayer & Praise:
I am willing, Lord Jesus, to suffer for Your name's sake. I bow in reverence and will forever praise and thank You for the crown of thorns, brutal torture, agonizing pain, and the horrible death You willingly endured for me at the cross. Please, Holy Spirit, replace fear with faith so I have the courage to be a Christ follower, even if it means I must be imprisoned and suffer for a little while. Rest on me so I pass the test and remain faithful to the end. I ask in Jesus' mighty name.
