II.     OUR LIFE SHOULD REVEAL FAITHFULNESS.

 Revelations 2:10  Fear none of those things which  thou  shalt suffer; behold the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation  ten days: be thou faithful unto death and I  will give thee a  crown of life.

A. God's church or His people are not poverty stricken.
