Persecution of Christians around the world increases daily. This daily post points you towards stories of our brothers and sisters who have and are suffering because of their faith is Jesus Christ.
Jesus said, Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. (Mat 5:10-11)
Though we are told that we will be persecuted, we are also told to, Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body. (Heb 13:3)
Please lift these brothers and sisters up in prayer. Pray for their safety, but more than that, pray that the Holy Spirit would give them the courage and strength to continue to glorify God in their lives.
