You shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the Lord, And a royal diadem In the hand of your God.  Isaiah 62:3

God´s promise leaves us no doubt: we will be a crown of glory in His hands. This leaves us very motivated, because, under such conditions, the devil will not throw us from one side to the other, as if we were a ping pong ball. We must do better than we have done so far. Without a doubt, the more we give ourselves to the Lord, the more we will be used as His instruments and thus blessed. Our part is to allow Him to use us as He wishes.

From the Most High, you will become a crown of glory, for He has called you, prepared you, anointed and sent you to carry out His will. But if you do not pay attention to the perfect law of freedom, which is the Gospel, you will be a crown of sorrow, because God does not accept that His work is done recklessly. It’s your choice. If you prefer to do the work carelessly, only you will bear the loss.

God is not mocked! Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap (Galatians 6:7). Whoever is willing to do the work proposed by the Lord must first see the examples reported in Scriptures, in order not to perish before the time and in sin, heading straight towards Hell. Just as with the sons of Aaron, who did not weigh in on the consequences when offering strange fire before the Most High, so it will be with those who are careless in what they do.

The statement heard everywhere is that God “writes straight with crooked lines,” but that is a lie. He is the Truth and would never operate in this manner. The Father writes straight with straight lines, without any association with the devil, who never did anything right. Whoever disobeys the Word, makes up stories and causes others to make mistakes, sooner than one thinks, will certainly present themselves before God. Then, what will the Most High say of them?

Work hard and prepare yourself to carry out the divine work without taking sides. Just follow the biblical guidelines. By enabling the recording of His Word, providing an easy understanding, the Lord made His teachings available to all. Thus, no one can say that they were not informed of how they should behave, proceed when doing the divine work. Everything a man needs to know about how, when and where to answer and fulfill His call is in the Bible.

Samson did not mind his bad behavior, thinking that the Lord “needed” him to teach the Philistines a lesson. However, he was completely mistaken, and in the first times he was wrong he was not destroyed, for the Most High was merciful. He did not understand that he should have never gone beyond what was written. Instead of becoming a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, Samson chose to tarnish the anointing that was upon him with his dissolute life.

Be a royal diadem in the hand of your God, performing wonderful things and giving Him all praise. What you do here will dictate and lead you to your final destination: in Heaven or in the lake of fire and brimstone. Be careful not to be taken to the regions of death, where no one will ever leave if sent to such place. Do not play with the holiness of the Lord, for it bears no error.

In Christ, with love,
