God Blesses The Persecuted For Real


Happy Weekend everyone,

There are times when I look at how decisions are being made it gives me concern because a lot of them (decisions) end up supporting what is wrong. The case here is that the world itself is blinded by lies upon lies that those who stand up for the truth are often persecuted. 2 Corinthians 4:4 says, “The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” NIV. In line with this, Jesus said in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”

You must be strong if you want to save the world, as the world is living in lies and is decaying every day. The tenets and moral standards are lost because the world isn’t living on the truth. But you who know what is right should not sit down and fold your arms as you watch the world decay, you are to stand up and save the world. The truth is that the world doesn’t know that they are doing what is wrong, although they have this feeling that something isn’t right.

Those who are born of God are meant to go into all the world and tell them the good news of how they have been set free from their bondage and how what they have been holding unto have been lies all the while, but they would persecute you because of the truth which you hold on to. 

1 Peter 3:14 says, “But even if you should suffer for righteousness’ sake, you are blessed, “And do not be afraid of their threats nor be troubled.” 2 Corinthians 4:17 says, “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.” Jesus said you are blessed when you are persecuted, and yours is the kingdom of heaven. Don’t be afraid, God has rewarded you for every effort you make, but one thing you must understand and do is that you must be led by the Holy Spirit, without whom you’ll just be wasting your time. He is your direction, your eyes, ears and your senses. Save the world, believe in yourself in Jesus for He knows you can do it, that’s why you were chosen.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
