I Shall Wear a Crown? 9-3-25

Some recording artists who have made themselves bishops/pastors have published erroneous songs. For instance, one “We Fall Down” Another song “He saw the best in Me”  There are many others, but this is to help the saints have an awareness of what does not up with the Word of God.

The proof that many of the recording artists are in error, also shows that they are not studying the Word of God because they are recording erroneous songs. What’s even worse they have a nerve to call themselves bishop and don’t even know that the words bishop, pastor, elder, and overseer are interchangeable, they mean the same thing. And people get hyped up and want to dance and say praises out of their mouths to something that is not true.

 Go to the Word in 1 Timothy 3:1-6, Titus 1:6-9)- Key word is verse 5- If a man does not know how to rule his own house, how can he take care of the house of God? Verse 6 really shows that many of these people are novices (babes in Christ), because babies get puffed up with pride and he falls into condemnation of the devil.

Friends, you can see evidence of that in many ministries. What about these people who are laying hands on these men and ordaining them into ministry? Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure (1 Timothy 5:22). The five fold ministry pastor, is also the bishop, elder, or overseer (Ephesians 4:11).

This does not mean that one is elevated from one position (office) to another. These people are babies laying hands on babies and all of them are falling into a ditch (Matthew 15:13).

I am going to key in on the three songs that are mentioned in this message; hopefully, this will capture your attention and you will discern (Hebrews 5:14) other songs and whatever is being preached or taught.

Lyrics – “I Shall Wear a Crown” - I shall wear a crown. I shall wear a crown. When it's all over. When it's all over. Verse 2: I shall see His face. I shall see His face. When it's all over. When it's all over. Vamp: I'm going to put on my robe, tell the story how I made it over. (2x) (Modulate)- The truth is, every believer will receive the crown of life who loves His appearance (2 Timothy 4:8).

Jesus gave the example in a parable of a person who was not prepared to meet Him; he did not have on the suitable garment for the wedding. We will not be saying how we made it over. When that time comes at the “Judgment Seat of Christ” the Only One who will talking is Jesus and whoever wasn’t prepared to meet him will be speechless. The preparation has to be done on earth - 

“But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. So, he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless (Matthew 22:11-12).

Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready (Revelation 19:7).

Lyrics - “We Fall Down”- But we get up; We fall down; But we get up; We fall down; But we get up, oh yes; For a saint is just a sinner who fell down; But we couldn't stay there; And got up. Those who are born again are not sinners- The steps of a good [just or righteous man] man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way [we can be pleasing to the Lord, but our flesh causes us to fall]. 

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholds him with His hand (Psalm 37:23-24). And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God (1 Corinthians 6:11).  To the church of God, which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints (1 Corinthians 1:2). In all of Paul’s writing (more books that anyone else in the Bible), he never called a saint a sinner.

He saw the Best in Me” - He saw the best in me; When everyone else around; Could only see the worst in me. I see this song from God’s perspective and man’s perspective; however, I don’t know if the recording artist understood that he was writing from two perspectives. If he was writing from both perspectives, it should have been in the song. This is our perspective and it is cloudy because we live in a natural environment; but as spiritual people God wants us to see ourselves humbly as He sees us. As it is written: “There is none righteous, no, not one; There is none who understands; There is none who seeks after God (Romans3:10-11).

God’s perspective - Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love (Ephesians 1:4). For we are His workmanship [masterpiece], created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10).

Please don’t say that this is not important; it is to God. He has it laid out in writing what is going to happen. Therefore, we need to follow His plan and not use imaginary thinking like little children do. If the Word of God were studied like He told us to, we would not share what we think, but what it true.
