Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Matthew 5:10-12 NIV
When you are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, you are Blessed; so rejoice and be glad because you share in the lot of the prophets who have gone before you and you partake of our Lord Jesus Christ's sufferings! Father, please Grant us to bear up when faced with persecution and hold on to You in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
When a man's ways are pleasing to the LORD, he makes even his enemies live at peace with him. Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice. Proverbs 16:7,8 NIV
Strive to please God in all your ways and God Will Cause even your enemies to live at peace with you. If you have very little, but in righteousness; it's better than having much, guilty of injustice! The Blessings of God makes one rich without adding sorrows to it. Lord, Help me. Bless us in Your Own special way in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. Psalm 37:39,40 KJV
Strive after the righteousness of the Lord; for the Lord Will then be your Strength in time sof trouble and your salvation will be from and of Him. He Will Help, Save, Deliver and Keep you from the wicked! He Will Bless you this way because you trust and hope in Him alone. Help us o Lord to never leave You; but rather to hold firmly and tightly onto You all of our days in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Matthew 25:31-33 (NIVUK)
We want to remain as Your sheep o Lord; Help us not to be as goats. When the great separation shall take place, Father, count us worthy to be with the sheep on Your Right in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
(11) "To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices to Me?" Says the LORD. " I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle. I do not delight in the blood of bulls, Or of lambs or goats. (12) "When you come to appear before Me, Who has required this from your hand, To trample My courts? (13) Bring no more futile sacrifices; Incense is an abomination to Me. The New Moons, the Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies. I cannot endure iniquity and the sacred meeting. (14) Your New Moons and your appointed feasts My soul hates; They are a trouble to Me, I am weary of bearing them. (15) When you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you; Even though you make many prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood. (16) "Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean; Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes. Cease to do evil, (17) Learn to do good; Seek justice, Rebuke the oppressor; Defend the fatherless, Plead for the widow. Isaiah 1:11-17
What sacrifices are you offering up unto the Lord God Almighty? Do you really care about what pleases Him? You want to be like Cain or Abel? Remember Abel was murdered by his brother, Cain because Abel's sacrifice was accepted by God and Cain's rejected! If you remain in wickedness and evil, no matter how "good" your sacrifice is, do you think it will please God? No, not at all; better to clean up your act and enter into the righteousness of God and obey His Word! Then you will please Him and He Will accept your sacrifices! Help us o Lord to offer what is right, just and beffitting unto You in Jesus' Name. Amen!!!
