You May Not Stop All Actions Against You, But You Can Frustrate The Intentions Behind The Actions!
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." 2Tim 3:12
If you are truly on God's side in this world where wrong has been given the place, which should be reserved for right and error is sitting on the throne, rightly belonging to truth, the scripture says, you shall suffer persecution. Persecution isn't something we can prevent, but it's important to know what it takes, to frustrate the intention behind every action against you. This isn't an unfamiliar subject, but my goal is to speak to someone who may be confused about his or her situation. Some of the stubborn situations faced by God's elect in several areas aren't ordinary life's challenges, but outright persecution against them.
In fact, throughout my 30 years of walking with the Lord, I can't remember any time in my experience, when I lived without facing some sort of persecution. It's important to know that, persecution is in dimensions. There are physical, spiritual, economic and social persecutions. However, the intention behind the above persecutions, is to create a negative momentum to shift the focus, consecration and dedication of a man or woman of God from his or her conviction, revelation, purpose and mission (To shift from the narrow road to the broad road).
God willing, in my next post, I'll elaborate more on economic or financial persecution because it's one of the most severed persecutions used by the forces of darkness with the intention of applying pressure on God's elects who are contending for the faith, which was once delivered to the saints, to choose the path of compromise in order to ease their economic situation. It's so unfortunate that so many of God's people have fallen prey to this line of persecution. The compromise and marriage between the "church and Satan" in most quarters of Christendom is a result of the attempt by some to find easy ways to turn-around their financial fortunes. Watch out for more insight on economic/ financial persecution.
Listen! The most powerful way to overcome any persecution against you, is for you to refuse to give the enemy what she wants. I mean, refusing to allow the intentions behind the actions against you to materialize. When you take this stand, it may not be comfortable, but the truth is, no matter how long it takes, one day, the Lord will turn your captivity and send your captors into captivity. Talk to you later! Have a blessed weekend. DrBenard Etta
