In your patience possess ye your souls.
“Luke 21:19′
Have you ever suffered rejection or hate simply because you have differing beliefs from others? Have you been publicly or secretly persecuted because of your faith? During the history of the Bible days, believers were severely persecuted for professing Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. They were punished, hated, and threatened. Some were even martyred all for the sake of the gospel. This was done to make them deny their faith and turn back from following the Lord. Similar acts of persecution have risen against believers all over the world today.
There are a lot of events around us that mount pressure on believers to withdraw their faith and stop being followers of Jesus Christ. People are tempted every day to sin against God. Nations make laws and policies that make life difficult and miserable, which might lead one to sin. Each day comes with its own woes. However, it is up to us to decide whether we will succumb to the pressure to sin or choose to remain in solidarity with our mighty glorious JESUS CHRIST, as our wonderful dear, infinite loving LORD Saviour and Redeemer.
A life of pain and hardship would not be easy, but those who endured them with patience will be saved for eternity.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, all honor, praise and glory to our almighty, majestic, sovereign reigning Heavenly Father forevermore.
Let us pray:
Dear LORD almighty Heavenly Father, thank You for the assurance that I am not alone and that I will not be abandoned in any situation I find myself in. I pray that You grant me the grace to follow You to the end without compromising my faith. I ask that You’re Holy Spirit teach me to persevere through the hardships and trials that will come my way because of my decision to follow You. May I receive inner strength to rise above every temptation that will cause me to deny You by committing sin. Help me to be true to You and to stand strong for You at all times, what ever situation I may face. I pray this throughout the mighty glorious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Much LoVe, JoY, Peace and Blessings, through Jesus Christ, our almighty, wonderful, dear infinite loving Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, in who we faithfully abide, trust, believe and abundantly do receive throughout His marvelous righteous Word and His truth fulfilling Holy Spirit.
