STAY RESILIENT

Matthew 5:11-‬12
“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. “

The willingness to sacrifice even in the face of opposition and suffering is a powerful testament to the depth of one’s faith in Christ. However, sacrifice takes on a totally different dimension when it is fueled by persecution, and it is important how we deal with it in order to emerge victorious.

Persecution tests the limits of the faith of every believer. However, those who endure it find their faith deepened and strengthened. Just as we see in our opening text today, the Lord Jesus assured us that when we endure persecution for His sake, we will be greatly rewarded with eternal relevance and glory. Thus, persecution is essential in the walk of every believer.

Going by this understanding, do not cower or compromise your faith in the face of persecution, but be encouraged to stand firm in faith, knowing that you are on course for a life of glory with God. Let the example of those who have walked this path before us inspire you to live boldly and unapologetically for Christ, no matter the cost. Glory be to God!

Prayer for a Nation- ALBANIA
