Blessings of persecution Archives - Page 2 of 3

Persecuted Christians

No! We pray and pursue
Before God and man
Send aid and finances
Petition God, for His plan.

While not seeking, to suffer
We must lift Jesus, high
Wholly trust Him, and know
Sufficient grace, He’ll supply.

So, saint as you suffer
See Jesus, on His throne
Despite pain, persecution
In Him, you’re not alone.

And are we offering our help
Pleading often, in prayer
Are we giving finances
Help meet needs, and care?

His grace, always sufficient
His power, perfected in weakness
By faith, we’re made strong
In Christ Jesus, completeness.

God’s pathways, to blessings
Are not comfort and ease
But God guides through trials
So stay faithful, and believe!

As Daniel, and friends
Faced a fierce, fiery furnace
Said “Our God, can deliver
And if not, we still serve Him”.

No freedom allowed
To express your opinion
Could you trust God
To obey His Commission?

Yet despite persecution
Face hardship and suffering
May Jesus, be exalted
Be His sacrifice , a holy offering.

So, choose rather to suffer
Affliction, with God’s people
Than passing pleasures of sin
Be with Christ, and not evil.
