Encouragement for today April 28, 2018: from the Bible - Matthew 5: 8

- ,
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Encouragement for today April 28, 2018: from the Bible - Matthew 5: 8 



Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
The Christian Arouses Persecution Because He Interferes
The Christian interferes with prejudices.  He interferes with the comfortable use of lewd humor.  He interferes with sinful pleasures.  The Christian will not go along with the flow.  He just doesn’t fit in with the carnal world.
Christian ethics sometimes even dare to interfere with the sacred cow of business.  When Jesus went into the temple and turned over the tables of the moneychangers, they were mad as hornets!  That very afternoon they entered into a conspiracy to kill Him.
Paul had his clothes torn off and was thrown into jail at Philippi for interfering with the business of some slave owners.  A mob at Ephesus tried to tear him limb from limb because his Christian principles were ruining their business.  They were getting rich making statues of the goddess Diana.  When Paul preached against idolatry and when the people listened, the rich suddenly faced poverty.  Their solution?  Kill Paul!
Rejoice in Trials
When persecution comes, what will we do?   When a world driven by lust and greed reviles us for righteousness’ sake what will we do?
Jesus recommends that we rejoice and be exceedingly glad.  Don’t mope and whine.  Go home, burst through the door with a smile on your face and say, “Sweetie, they’re lying about me again!
Jesus says, “Congratulations!”  In being persecuted we join the distinguished company of the prophets and martyrs who went before us.  We are following in their footsteps.  Persecution is living proof that we are members in good standing of the kingdom of heaven and have become a threat to Satan and his kingdom.
