WHEN PERSECUTED, KNOW YOU ARE BLESSED; STAND FIRM, KEEP THE FAITH! JESUS LIVES FOREVERMORE!!! BY FOLAYAN OSEKITA

 
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. Matthew 5:11,12 KJV

When persecuted for the sake of righteousness, do not be discouraged at all, for great is your reward from the Highest Authority in Heaven! So, no shaking! Our God Reigns!!!

"Hear me, you who know what is right, you people who have my law in your hearts: Do not fear the reproach of men or be terrified by their insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment; the worm will devour them like wool. But my righteousness will last forever, my salvation through all generations." Isaiah 51:7,8 NIV

You who fear The Lord & live according to His Word & a Will, you will be subjected to the reproach & insults from mankind! Do not fear or be terrified by these; for you will surely be vindicated, avenged! God is your Redeemer, Advocate, Avenger Judge & King! He Will Fight for you!!!


Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him, and He will do it. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light. And your judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.
Psalm 37:5-7 NASB

Do not keep worrying about the prosperity of the wicked, for it is very temporary! Remember also that the wealth of the wicked is laid in store for the righteous! Hold your peace; rest in the Name of The Lord! Godliness with contentment is great gain!!!

(38) Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You." (39) But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. (40) For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.
Matthew 12:38-40

Do you understand that faith never seeks for signs before believing? Faith is not seeing is believing; it is being sure of what you hope for & certain of what you have not seen! It hasn't happened yet, nor have I seen or received it yet; it hasn't yet manifested, but I believe that it shall come to pass/be! Now, that is faith!!!

(29) And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. (30) For as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. Luke 11:29-30
(4) A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah." And He left them and departed. Matthew 16:4

Unbelief in itself is evil! It seeks always for signs! As none was given; except for the death, burial & Resurrection of Jesus Christ, so it remains today! You have the choice to believe or not! If you believe, the Promises are yours; otherwise, you are already condemned! That's the Truth!!!
