DAY 72 —
*“Finish Strong, Stand Awake, and Hold the Scroll”*
> “Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life.” — Revelation 2:10
Greatness is not proven at the start but revealed at the end. David’s mighty men show that loyalty in hidden battles is remembered by God, yet David’s final days warn that unfinished vigilance invites disorder and confusion over succession. (*2 Samuel 23 – 1 Kings 1*)
Wisdom teaches that righteousness does not always bring quick reward, but perseverance anchors the soul when time and chance test everyone. (*Ecclesiastes 7–9*)
Heaven reminds us that unseen warfare delays answers, angels contend for nations, and those who understand God’s word will shine while the careless fall away.(*Daniel 10–12*)
History moves toward a fixed conclusion—resurrection is certain, judgment is sure, and endurance separates the wise from the many. The trumpet sounds woe upon hardened hearts, but mercy still calls through a mighty angel who stands on land and sea declaring God’s authority over all realms. The open scroll must be eaten—God’s word will be sweet to receive and bitter to live, yet it commissions the faithful to speak again. (*Revelation 9–10*)
Do not sleep at the threshold of destiny, do not envy the wicked’s temporary peace, do not fear delayed answers—stand alert, finish faithful, and carry the word until the mystery of God is complete.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
