VOT: June 3, 2024-Price (Cross) precedes Prize (Crown) The C-P-factor”
The two words “Price” and Prize” sound alike, but are the opposite of one another. Price is the cost incurred or the cross we have to carry, while Prize is the reward or crown of glory, a blessing or gain coming after pain or sacrifice. Our saviour Jesus Christ is our heavenly role model while we have several examples of saints like Apostle Paul who suffered persecution and humiliation on earth before they obtained their Heavenly crown in glory.
Our saviour Jesus Christ suffered on earth for the joy that was ahead and the glory reserved for Him in Heaven. He passed through the earthly pain, shame, pain and humiliation. This He endured by carrying the cross “C-factor” which was the pathway to receiving the crown in glory or the worthy prize and victory.
The “Well done” or crown Jesus won did not come cheap. There was a price paid by the shedding of His potent blood on Calvary. In like manner if we claim Him (Jesus Christ) as our example, we must tap into the grace which was provided for us by the redemptive power of the blood.
Every glorious destiny or purpose will be tested, tried and is expected to come out true, shining as Gold. Jesus Christ is the “Truth” that endures forever. While all other sources or men might fail due to their lack of ability and capacity, we can count on Him (Jesus Christ) to come out victorious as “winners”
However we must make Him the bishop of our soul and our anchor, ensuring that we stay connected to the Holy Spirit by God’s exceeding grace.
Nuggets “C-P” factor
1. Cross is the cost (Price) yields Crown (Prize) Your earthly cross represents challenges, trials or temptation which is the cost or “Price” with confidence that in eternity you will obtain a “Crown” and “Prize” (reward) worthy of the praise and glory of God.
2. Confidence & Purpose: Confidence and trust in God is essential for you to fulfill God’s plan and “Purpose” for your life. The temporal pain is working for you a permanent gain and greater weight of glory. You must have the “Overcomer mentality”
3. True Christianity is not denying the cross, but carrying it daily with the winning attitude and mindset, knowing that Jesus Christ is ahead leading the way, because He is the way, the truth and life. John 14:6.
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
II Corinthians 4:17-18 NKJV.
“For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
I John 5:4 NKJV.
“Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” Luke 9:23 NKJV
