I have this passage for the persecuted Christians all over the world most especially the Northern Nigerians:
Reveal spoiler
[2]
Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
[3]
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
[4]
So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:
[5]
Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
[6]
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
[7]
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
[8]
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[9]
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
[10]
When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
[11]
Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
[12]
That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Please await the true story of persecution in Nigeria in the subsequent post.
Amen on the scripture and amen on advocating for the suffering and persecuted church. Many don’t like to talk about this. We are in prayer every day for this unforgotten part of the body of Christ. The statistics show someone dies for their faith ever 6 and 1/2 minutes, on average every single day. The ethnic cleansing of today are Christians. I look forward to seeing what you bring to the table in your future posts.
Thank you and God bless!
