As we you are reading this, are you afraid for you life? Are you about to be killed?
33 Christians in North Korea have been sentenced to death for starting churches.
“…33 North Koreans will be put to death in a cell at the State Security Department” (1).
To be martyred….
What about this.
Muslims in Somalia seized two Christians, a mother of two daughters and her cousin, and after calling the entire village to gather together, they beheaded them in cold blood (2).
The two daughters, ages 8 and 15, were forced to watch their mother and their mother’s cousin beheaded.
Martyred….
OK, so what persecution did you go through today? Would you be persecuted for planting churches? Would you me martyred for following Christ’s commands? Do we pray for these people and those like them who are in persecution right now?
Many do not have physical freedom, that is a given. However, many are still in spiritual bondage. Live as Jesus commanded, help the poor and tell others the way so all can give praise to God!
