EXHORTATION Through The BOOK of LIFE
Scripture to ponder on:
““Blessed [morally courageous and spiritually alive with life-joy in God’s goodness] are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil things against you because of [your association with] Me. Be glad and exceedingly joyful, for your reward in heaven is great [absolutely inexhaustible]; for in this same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
Matthew 5:11-12 AMP
SHOW UP, TO ENFORCE JESUS’ VICTORY
When persecution comes, don't sit around whining about it. Don't waste your time feeling sorry for yourself. Despite what you may think, feel or see, that persecution hasn't come because the devil gets his kicks out of picking on you. It comes because you've become a threat to him. It comes because you've put the Word in your heart, and he knows that if he doesn't get it out, you're going to cause him more trouble than he can handle.
So, rejoice! Heavy-duty persecution means you've made it to the big leagues. It means the devil is taking you so seriously that he's sending in his best players in an effort to get you out of the game!
The players that make it to the national championship finals don't look for some way out of it, do they? They don't say, "Boy, I sure wish I didn't have to be in that finals . Those guys are the biggest, meanest players in the country. "Maybe I'll get sick and I won't have to play." No! They relish the opportunity. "Let me get 'em," they say. "I've worked all my life to get here and now I'm going to prove I'm the best!"
That's how you should be when the devil challenges you. You should accept that challenge with joy, knowing you're going to come out a winner. After all, your God is sufficient to see you through. He never stops and wonders if He's going to have enough resources to get you over your problems this time. He knows He has already conquered anything the devil brings against you.
So, when persecution comes, trust Him and rejoice, knowing that you've made it to the big leagues.Put in your mouth words of victory related to your situation with perseverance.
Jesus’ beloved !
AMEN & AMEN 🙏🏾🙏🏾!!
