THE CROWN OF LIFE
Before God places a crown on your head, He places you in His Hand
Your Identity comes before the Reward
Isaiah 62:1-4
God alone defines our identity, not people’s opinion, not our past or our failures
Diadem: a symbol of Royalty, Honor and Authority
The Crown of Life is an Open Door
Revelation 3:7-13
The KEY represents authority and access to the King and the resources of the Kingdom
God doesn’t measure by size or strength, but by the depth of our obedience
Hold fast that no man takes THY CROWN
From Testing to Triumph
James 1:12-18
Trials are the things God uses to strengthen us
Temptation are the things SIN uses to pull us away
Their Failures Our Warning
1 Corinthians 10:9-14
Strength is not saying I can handle this
Strength is saying Lord I need You
The Press Comes Before The Purpose
Matthew 26:36-42
Gethsemane: Oil Press
Watch & Pray
Prayer is the place where weakness connects with Divine Power
Final verse
James 1:12
