[Manna - July 26]
To him that overcometh will I give...a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it. Revelation 2:17
THE overcomers must all be proven to be such as
would sacrifice every other thing for the Lord; such
as would sacrifice the love and fellowship and approval,
if necessary, of every other being, in order to retain
the love and favor of the Lord.
We believe that
this test is coming daily closer and closer to the
Lord's consecrated people, and it behooves every one
of us to remember that this is one of the elements of
our trial, and to set our affections on the heavenly
things accordingly, and to mortify or deaden all such
affections toward earthly beings and things as would
bring these into competition with our Lord in our affections,
service, etc. Z.'99-140 R2480:6
