Message
A crown is a head covering, often made of precious metal set with jewels and worn as a symbol of sovereignty. The crown is a symbol of divine honour, glory, authority and victory. This crown can also symbolize the crown that Jesus Christ bestows on all who believe in Him.
God has preserved special crowns for each believer in heaven. It is a trophy that will never fade or lose its meaning. And you will wear it throughout eternity! Friends of Jesus who would live holy, preach the gospel and endure till the end will wear the golden crowns in heaven.
Apostle Paul was so sure that a crown of righteousness awaits him in heaven. This awareness made him to fully dedicate his life to the preaching of the gospel. If you do not want to go empty handed, you must get involved with the work of evangelism. Crowns with stars are waiting for all faithful believers. Be counted among them.
