THE BLESSING OF PERSECUTION

THE BLESSING OF PERSECUTION           

John 15:18-25
Devotional Verse:-“Remember the word that I said to you,'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also” (Vs. 20)

 


    Jesus teaches us that the blessings of the Lord are for those who go through persecution for righteousness sake (Matt. 5:10-12). It is almost impossible for anyone to live a godly life in the world without been persecuted. Jesus said that if He was persecuted, then we will also be persecuted.
 
    Persecution is a reaction orchestrated by darkness because you are the light of the world. In this world, people of no light always stand against the people in the light. The moment you sincerely give your life to Christ, your life will become different. Your decisions and actions will always be geared towards pleasing God. Since the world is known for the opposite, you will definitely stand out as been odd. Usually, people are criticized for doing what is wrong but in this case, you will be persecuted for doing the will of God.
 
    Don’t feel odd whenever you are persecuted, because Jesus has said that great is your reward in heaven (Matt. 5:12). To go through the period of persecution successfully, ensure that you stay close to the fellowship of brethren where you are recognized (Act 4:23). Refuse to be discouraged. Don’t be offended in God (Matthew 11:6). The Lord will see you through and make your story a blessing to your world. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, uphold me in times of persecution
 
“PERSECUTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS IS AN EVIDENCE OF YOUR RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD”

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE

TRANSFORMED BY TROUBLE 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 Devotional:- “For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” (V. 17) NLT  God has a purpose behind every problem. God depends more on circumstances to grow our character than reading the Bible; this is because we have challenging circumstances twenty four seven. The word of God made us to see challenges in our life as normal (1 Peter 4:18). Your deepest expression of worship is mostly in the darkest days. It is during suffering that we learn to pray our most authentic, heart-felt and honest prayers to God (James 5:16). God would have kept Jeremiah from the throne to the pit, Joseph from been thrown into the jail, Paul from been shipwrecked or the three Hebrew from been thrown into the fire but he left those problems to himself. You will never know that God is all you need until God is all you have.  Everything that happens to you has spir...
