I recently shared a mini tutorial of a hairstyle I achieved on YouTube. I like to call this style ‘a Crown’ – it is simple to put together and beautiful to behold. This ‘Crown’ hair style reminded me of the eternal Crown soon to obtain in God’s kingdom. “Behold, I come quickly; hold fast that which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.“ Revelation 3:11
We can all attest to the wickedness and godlessness of our present world. Hence, there is a possibility of our eternal ‘crown’ being taken if we affiliate with the workers of iniquity (sin) in our present world. Nevertheless, the charge of Christ to us His servants is not to get distracted by the things and practices of this present evil world but to “hold fast that which thou hast” – our salvation, our christian convictions and to keep a firm gaze on Christ the author and the finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We are to wait for the imminent return of Jesus Christ in a few ways:
Separation from the world and its evil practices, a life of sacrifice – that our time, talent, and gifts are used for the work of God on earth. We must adapt a simplistic and modest outlook in our dressing, preferences and conduct. There must be a difference between those that are transformed by Christ and those who have not. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” 2 Corinthians 6:17
Soul winning – preaching the Word everywhere we go, serving the Lord always. “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” Mark 16:15-16
Sanctification – that our inner self and its evil tendencies has been root out. “And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Thessalonians 5:23
Selflessness – we are to think less of ourselves and more of others. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Philippians 2:3
If we do so, our eternal reward is a beautiful Crown of glory awaiting us at the heavenly city. I pray we will all make it there to be adorned with God’s glorious crown in Jesus’ name, amen!
