[The Glory Unveiled]
“But I come swiftly, so cling tightly to what you have, so that no one may seize your crown of victory.” [ Revelation 3:11 TPT ]
The words in this verse of the chapter in Revelation was spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ. When we read the words carefully, we can hear another scripture from the gospel according to Matthew loudly; the parable of the ten virgins. “The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out. “No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’ (Matthew 25:8-9). The wise virgins refused to give some of their oil to the foolish virgins who actually needed some oil. The “selfish” action of the wise virgins is recorded in our scripture in Revelation as “holding tightly or clinging tightly to what one has.” We will recall that at the time the wise virgins refused to give their oil to the foolish virgins was the moment when the Bridegroom was coming. That was a sensitive moment, a time that defined seasons so that if they missed it, that would have been the end. In Revelation, the Lord Jesus says He is coming swiftly and because of His coming, the church should hold tightly to what they have. So that no one will seize their crown of victory. If the wise virgins had given their oil to the foolish virgins, their lamps would have gone out and they would have lost their access to see the Bridegroom because of the foolish virgins. In these days of the Lord’s return, we need to keep diligently all the qualities we have in the Lord. No matter the persuasions of the world to borrow or take these qualities from us, we must not give in because giving in to the world means losing our crown. So, let’s cling tightly to what we have in the Lord.
