Riches and Honor

    "Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. And the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem. So he died in a good old age, full of days and riches and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place." I Chronicles 29:26-28
     This morning I was reading and meditating about these verses and I decided to share it with you. See how important it's to remain faithful, sincere and loyal to God until the end. King David had opportunities to kill Saul many times, but he didn't dare to touch him. Since one day Saul was anointed as king of Israel, David did nothing against him.
     He was not a perfect man but had a sincere heart that pleased God. For this reason, he gave him longevity and he died as it's written in good old age, full of days, riches and honors. Is there no doubt that God wants to do the same with those who serve Him today. Unfortunately, there are many who are serving God, but don't have a sincere nor loyal heart before Him. They don't miss any chance of criticizing others, including their own spiritual leaders. King David made several wars against his enemies, but there are servants making war against other servants. At first, they had one type of character but as time went by, they corrupted themselves and corrupted others with their evil ideas and wrong choices. Many of them are not among us anymore.
     Dear assistants, make sure you take care of your spiritual life, run away from evil and those who do evil, otherwise the God of David won't be able to do great things in your life as He did to David. As we are in the 40 days of the Fast of Jesus, you should take these days to consecrate your life as much as you can. At the end of this fast the Holy Spirit will come upon you, make you be born of God, baptize you with the power to remain in His presence until the end, because many had started to serve God but they had fallen along the way.
     This Friday there will be a night vigil, the Night of the White Garments, I see this as a great opportunity for those who really want to be fully committed to God and His work, and go all the way until they die or until The Lord Jesus comes back.
     If in case you haven't prepared your white clothes, then you should do it before Friday. Cut a piece of the oldest clothes that you have and write on it every bad things that satan has been using to accuse you before God and bring it to the night vigil. Let's remove what is evil so that what's good can find room to enter your life. Then there's no doubt that you will make the difference in every areas of your life, financial, spiritual, sentimental, material. Like David who died in a good age, rich and honored by God.

Share this message with a friend and be blessed.
Night Vigil, Friday, June 20th 10pm NY time. Dressed in white.
