PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS

Pastor E Adeboye 

JEREMIAH 20: 11 & 12

"But the LORD is with me as a MIGHTY terrible one:

Therefore my persecutors shall stumble and they shall not prevail:

They shall be greatly ashamed;

For they shall not prosper:

Their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten."

"But, O LORD of host, that triest the righteous, and seest the reins and the heart, let me see VENGEANCE on them: for unto thee have i opened my cause"

Gideons Are "Born To Be A Blessing"

I am a "GIDEONITE" so therefore the bible says "the LORD is with me like a Mighty Warrior"

Judges 6:12

"And the Angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of VALOUR".

The bible tells us that: Wisdom, Power, and achievement do not ultimately come from any human source; They Are From GOD;

 

PROVERBS 21: 1

"The Kings heart is in the hand of the LORD, as the rivers of water: he turneth it whithersoever he will"

 

ISAIAH 48: 3

"I have declared the former things from the beginning;

And they went forth out of my mouth, and i shewed them;

I did them suddenly and they came to pass"

No matter what we Lead or Govern, we can't do well when we ignore GODS guidelines.

Whether or not we are leaders, GOD knows the mind of men.

Effectiveness depends upon listening and obeying GODS word.

Don't let your personal desires and blindness distort God's word.

 

PROVERBS 30: 5

"Every word of GOD is Pure:

HE is a Shield unto them that put their trust in him"

Finally brothers, The bible, the truth in sermons, and the wise counsel of believers are warnings to us.

Changing our lives in order to obey GOD and get back on track often takes painful discipline and hard work.

We must Not compromise or settle for anything lower (human tradition and the world) than the WORD of God. Amen

 

PROVERBS 20: 24

"Mans goings are of the LORD;

 How can a man then understand his own way"

The book of Exodus tells us Pharaoh's Heart was hardened by GOD:

EXODUS 7: 3

"But i will harden Pharaoh's heart, and though i multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in Egypt, he will not listen to you"

The "PASSOVER", "The EXODUS" is celebrated as a lasting ordinance by the JEWS and CHRISTIANS, after GOD deliberately hardened Pharaoh's heart the Israelites "PLUNDERED" the Egyptians and GOD took Glory, GOD'S Word are "FLAWLESS", the bible says they are "YES AND YES AMEN".

Man makes U-TURNS, (unreliable), you can't rely on Man's Word

Let he who has eyes and ears, let him know that GOD will take Glory from the "Pharaoh" and the "Egypt" that refuses to move out of our way, the LORD has Spoken.
