DON'T CHA KNOW?

To all saints of God! Good morning! I'm asking for a prayer request. I was watching The 700 Club on yesterday morning and heard the saddest thing, I'm just not sure if the program was a repeat or not. So I searched the web and found that this sad thing is still going on now today as I speak and that it has been ignored for whatever reason .  I understand that the bible says in 2Timothy chapter 3: verse 12 "Ye, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." Also Jesus said in Saint John chapter 15: verse 20. "Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also." You would think we'd be prepared everyday for that it. I also know that it's been happening in other countries for a long time, but what I didn't know to what extreme. In Nigeria theirs a genocide and over a thousand Nigerian Christians has been beheaded, killed and cut up in pieces by a gang of Muslims that wants to make Nigeria a Muslims country and is not tolerating anyone that is professing to be a Christian, but in our Western world we do not hear about this on the news. My heart is crying, and at the same time rejoicing that our Savior is nearer than every before. When I think about us Americans our persecution is so small and we should be a shame of ourselves to focus so much on ourselves when our fellow sisters and brothers are being biblically persecuted (to each its own). We're dealing with flies while they are dealing with locusts with a human head like Revelations describes it (even though the locusts in Revelation is not for the saints of God) I'm just using it as a description and the difference between Americans and other countries. My hope and prayer is that we lift up the families and friends of those who have been effected by this persecution and lift up the Christians that's still alive in Africa. That they will hold on to their faith and Gods unchanging hand. That God will dispatch His angel to encamp round and about them to protect them from their enemy and ours as children of God, because we all have the same enemy in common. 

I thank you in advance so much for your fasting and prayers for our fellow sisters and brother in the Lord for we are one in Christ Jesus.

 

Lord Help Us All,

 

P.S.

Some people say I should stop watching the news so much. I feel like if I don't I won't know what's going on in our world, and my prayer life would be to a minimum.  To each its own is what I always say.

FOOD 4 THOUGHT

 I'm sitting here reading my bible minding my own business when I came across Matthew 24: verses 36 - 44. Verses 42-44 says (kjv) "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman (master) of the  house had known in what watch (hour) the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh (continually)." Now it was in the footnotes that cause me to blog this. The footnotes reads "The observation that the people of Noah's day knew not the severity and suddenness of the coming destruction indicates that this last generation will be totally unprepared for the coming of the Son of man, the return of Christ to judge the world. Just so you know that in the days of Noah people did not believe him when he said it was gong to rain and the rain would flood the world. They were going about their days as they were, drinking, eating and giving into marriage (which reminds me of a new show I came across streaming through the cable guide that was titled "married at first sight" and a show called "Fiance in 90 days" Now that's truly biblical and what was going on in Noah's day. The part of the notes that gave me a food 4 thought is "this generation will be totally unprepared". Note that we are the last generation Jesus was talking about and how the whole world was not prepared for the COVID19 virus, WOW! Sounds familiar?
