Faithful unto death

Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.
I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.
Acts 5:29, Revelation 2:10; 3:8

Faithful unto death
Born in an aristocratic Scottish family, young Patrick Hamilton (1504-1528) was sent to Paris by his father to pursue his university studies. There he sought the truth ardently and discovered the true sense of the gospel message. It brought him real peace. On his father's death, he returned to Scotland, convinced that his country needed to hear the Word of God, and started preaching the gospel. Although welcomed by some, he was nevertheless confronted by some lively opposition. His enemies soon found an opportunity to have him arrested, and he was sentenced to death. He was offered remission if he denied his faith, but, obeying "God rather than men", he replied, "It is better if my body is burnt in the flames of your stake for confessing my Saviour, than denying Him who loves me." He was executed the next morning, requesting God to open his fellow citizen's eyes, so that they recognised the truth.
But Satan's wickedness did not have the final word. The faith of those Christians present at young Patrick's martyrdom was awakened and many began proclaiming more boldly Jesus as Saviour.
Even today, Christians face difficult choices that affect their career or even their life. The apostle Paul told Timothy: "You have carefully followedwhat persecutions I endured. And out of them all, the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ will suffer persecution." (2 Timothy 3:10-12).
Today's reading: 1 Samuel 11

THE HOLY SPIRIT

It is one thing to receive the anointing and another to keep growing on it. There are people who had the anointing, but today, everything has virtually ebbed out.

.
The essence of the anointing of God in your life is not for show but for service. Service is a fundamental aspect of leadership.
