Hello Everyone!  Praise the Lord!  We often hear sayings like, “We are too blessed to be stressed and to anointed to be disappointed”, but we yet are living in a fallen world and disappointments do take place, but the Bible tells us that even though we are ”in” the world , we do not have to be ”of” the world.  Jesus already wore the crown of thorns for us, so we do not have to take part in toiling and working hard and gaining nothing in return.  .  The Bible tells us in Matt. 6:33 that if we “seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, all of these things shall be added unto you”.  So let us seek Jesus if we want to live a prosperous healthy and wealthy life.    Yes, this fallen world seems a bit crazy, but you can have peace in the midst of, not only  this storm, but every storm by keeping your mind stayed on Jesus and He will keep you in perfect peace; a peace that will surpass all understanding.  Even though we may not comprehend it right now, stay focused.  If you fall down, bounce back, get up and shake yourself and keep moving forward.  There is light at the end of the tunnel, because Jesus already did the complete work and IT IS FINISHED!!!

God bless,

And the soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and put it on His head… 

John 19:2 

- MAY 23 - 
JESUS WORE THE CROWN OF THORNS FOR YOU 

  _____  

If hard work is the formula for prosperity, then everyone who works hard should be prosperous. But this is certainly not the case. Many people who work very hard are still in lack!

I am not advocating laziness. What I am saying is that working hard by the sweat of your brow is not how God’s provision comes. In fact, if you have to work overtime all the time and are stressed out, you are probably operating under the curse.

What curse is that? It is this curse: “In the sweat of your face, you shall eat bread” (Genesis 3:19). And it refers to the stress, struggle and anxieties that come with working hard and yet producing little. Now, work itself is not a curse since God gave Adam work before the fall—Adam was to tend the garden of Eden. It was only after he sinned that the land was cursed and it brought forth thorns, and man had to toil to eat of it (see Genesis 3:17–18).

But praise God, Jesus wore the thorns on His head to show you that He has borne this curse for you and redeemed you from it. He wore the crown of thorns so that you can work stress-free and yet have the results. You don’t have to be worried and stressed out day and night like the people of the world just to get ahead in life. Your heavenly Father can get you there without the worries and stress (see Matthew 6:31–33).

Beloved, every curse that was supposed to fall on your head fell on Jesus’ head, typified by the crown of thorns. He wore the crown of thorns for you so that you can have peace of mind. He wore the crown of thorns for you and took your curse so that you can wear the crown of glory and take His righteousness, and all the benefits of that righteousness!

Today, don’t labor and toil like the people of the world. Instead, expect to see the blessings of God come into your life without blood, sweat and tears because Jesus wore the crown of thorns for you!
