Facing Persecution

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

 Enduring Life’s Hardships                               

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

Choosing Affliction

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

Burdened for the Persecuted?

But persecution, means blessings
Tho’ reviled, faced oppression
They can rejoice, and be glad
With great rewards, in heaven.

Brutalized Buddhist Believers

But persecution, means blessings
Tho’ reviled, faced oppression
They can rejoice, and be glad
With great rewards, in heaven.

Blasphemy Laws

Wholly illiterate, impoverished
Yet a Muslim Imam claimed
A blasphemous text, was sent
In English….they were blamed!

Badshah was Beaten

Badshah suffered, so greatly
And paid such a price
But by faith, he obeyed
Assured Christ would suffice.

Counted Worthy to Suffer

And we trust not in self
Despair even of life
But ’tis God, who will raise us
Out of suffering, and strife.

God Allows Persecution

So much evil in people to persecute and torture. Can God be found there amidst darkness, disorder?
