PERSECUTION
TREASURES OF GRACE (Daily Devotional)
FRIDAY, 3RD FEBRUARY 2017
TOPIC: PERSECUTION
SCRIPTURE: "Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution." 2 Timothy 3:12
MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 5:10
DIGGING DEEP: Everyday, everywhere around the world believers are under attack. Some face prejudice from government laws that aim to stop them from serving the Lord, some are been martyred daily, some imprisoned and some are mentally, physically and emotionally molested because they are standing for God. Our anchor Scripture tells us that "...all that will live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution." In Greek to persecute literally means to pursue or oppose someone. You wonder why it seems that all hell is set loosed against you, the devil is chasing to pull you down, it is because of the godly seed in you.
Persecution is the common lot of every godly man because there is a continuous battle between light and darkness; and between iniquity and righteousness.
THREE FORMS OF PERSECUTION WE FACE:
1) THE SCOURGE OF THE HEART: This is the root of all other persecution. Cain is an example of this because God had respect for Abel's offerings he was angry and killed him.
2) THE SCOURGE OF THE MOUTH: "Blessed are ye when men shall revile you and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my name's sake" (Matthew 5:11). Because you are godly people are speaking hate words against you in the office and so on. Many are a victim of this type of persecution.
3) THE SCOURGE FROM ACTIONS (Matthew 10:18-23): Our Lord says that we will be called before governors: they will fine, imprison, or punish us. They will confiscate your goods, cruel scourging, hate and, even kill you thinking they are doing service to God.
Listen the world thinks they can kill believers but as they bury us we resurrect as seeds and that is why the Gospel can't be stopped.
I decree that heaven is protecting and empowering you to overcome all forms of persecutions today, you are unstoppable in Jesus' name.
PRAYER: O Lord i intercede for my brethren all over the world, been persecuted daily for the Gospel let courage and boldness to stand be released to them in Jesus' name.
QUOTE: No persecution, no exaltation, no exaltation, no glorification- Dr. Dabbas Joel
DAILY READING: Revelation 2, 1 Samuel 5-6
