CHRISTIANITY COMES WITH PERSECUTION AND PERSEVERANCE.
DEARLY BELOVED OF CHRIST:
BE AWARE OF THOSE HATERS OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST WHO ARE SERIOUSLY UNDERMINING OUR EFFORTS OF WINNING SOULS TO THE KINGDOM.
NO MATTER HOW LOW WE PORTRAY OURSELVES IN HUMILITY, THEY ARE HELL-BENT ON PUSHING US TO THE LIMITS OF OUR PATIENCE.
WE ARE TO TAKE SOME LESSONS FROM THE WARNING APOSTLE PAUL GAVE TO TIMOTHY ABOUT A CERTAIN MAN NAMED ALEXANDER THE COPPERSMITH WHO WAS AN ACTIVE OPPONENT OF THE GOSPEL. [2 TIMOTHY, 4:- 14]
ANY ANOINTED OF GOD THAT IS NOT READY TO PRESERVE IN TRIALS AND BE INSULTED; MAY NOT BE FIT FOR THE KINGDOM.
CHRISTIANITY COMES WITH PERSECUTION AND PERSEVERANCE.
WE MUST BE MINDFUL OF THE FACT THAT WE ARE NOT PERMITTED TO PAY EVIL WITH EVIL. [1 PETER, 3:-9]
WE MUST CONTROL OUR EMOTIONS AND CAREFULLY CHOOSE OUR WORDS WHEN VIOLATED.
REMEMBER AT THE POINT OF YOUR BAPTISM, YOU HAVE BEEN SEPARATED FROM THE WORLD AND MARKED AS VESSEL OF HONOR FOR HIS GLORY. [2 TIMOTHY, 2:-20-21]
IN CONCLUSION: THE ANTI-CHRIST ARE VERY MUCH AROUND IN DISGUISE, ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN EVERY ASPECT OR IN AFFAIRS OF THE CHURCH AND INFILTRATING TO WREAK HAVOC. [EPHESIANS, 6:-12]
WE ARE MEMBERS OF: “THE WAY OF THE CROSS.”
