Christ perfect knowledge about us  Revelation 2 [KJV] [vs: 9] I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. The words of Christ to the church in smyma  reveals his divinity,as God he knows everything we do for  his name sake, he knows every persecution we have faced and endured , sacrifices we have made and  even the material losses we may suffer because we  refuse to bow to the demands of the world. The fact that Christ knows everything we endured for his sake should be an encouragement unto us when we pass through trails because of our faith in him and should make us to persevere in the Lord when following him becomes difficult .  Our Lord knows what we are going through and he will not forget  those who remain steadfast , let us therefore persevere in the Lord trusting in his grace, strength and faithfulness at all time.  12 August 2026
