Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 4:10-13.
Memory verse: And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we endure 1 Corinthians 4:12(NKJV)
Why are Christian persecuted? Authorithorian government in North Korea & other communist countries order to control political and civic life. Also, hatred towards minority religious groups. For instance, Niger Republic has 98% Muslims. Again, lack of basic human rights. In Eritrea, there are violations of the freedom of expressions, religious belief and movement.
What can we do as Christians? Heb. 13:3, “Remember the prisoners as if chained with them – those who are mistreated – since you yourselves are in the body also.” We Give, Groan and/or Go! We can Give in cash and kind as relief materials, Groan ( Intercede) for them and/or Go there to encourage the work the missionaries are doing.
Action Word: Give, Groan and Go for the persecuted.
Prayer points:
- Arrow of discouragement fired into the heart of evangelist and missionaries, backfire, in the name of Jesus.
- Father Lord, raise up intercessors for your saints, in the name of Jesus.
