Amid trials and tribulations, the words of our Lord resound with a clarion call, “I am coming soon.” This promise is a message of hope, reminding us that our struggles are temporal, and the eternal glory awaits those who persevere. As believers, we are called to hold fast to our faith, and the precious crown bestowed upon us through the grace of our Saviour.
The crown represents our salvation, our victory in Christ, and the rewards that await us in heaven. It is a symbol of our identity as children of God, chosen and set apart for His glory. However, the journey is fraught with challenges, and there are forces at play that seek to derail us from our path. The enemy prowls like a roaring lion, looking for whom he may devour. Therefore, we must be vigilant, steadfast in our faith, and anchored in the Word of God.
To hold on to what we have, means to cling to our faith with unwavering resolve. It means to stand firm against the tide of temptation, to resist the allure of worldly pleasures, and to endure hardships with patience and grace. It is a call to remain faithful to the teachings of Christ, to live a life that is pleasing to Him, and to be a beacon of light in a darkened world.
Today, as we await Christ’s return, we must remember that our crown is not just a future reward but a present reality. It is a reminder of the victory we have in Christ, a victory that empowers us to overcome the world. So, let us hold on to what we have, for in doing so, we secure our crown and ensure that no one can take it away.
“I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown.” (Revelation 3:11)
Let’s Pray
Yahweh, I don’t know when You’re returning, so prepare me right now. Father help my mindset to be alert and my life to be restrained and disciplined. Teach me to arm myself with faith and love. Help me to process every decision through the lens of salvation. By Your grace, God I want to build a personal culture that’s vigilant, attentive and filled with gratitude and my spiritual senses sharpened. Lord, I refuse to lay down and let life pass me by. I’ll take advantage of every opportunity to expand Your Kingdom. You’ve appointed me to live out Your purposes. I will do it and I’ll also encourage others to do it as well. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
