most time i wandered when I see people that said they have subscribed to this kingdom part response when ever others try to paint them or try to drag them.
I understand the fact that we are human but beyond the spirituality activities we must know what we are subscribing to as early as possible before we get stock down and then feel like God is a scam or scammed you rather.
you can say you want to be a real Christian and you think everybody will just love and appreciate you just like that.
see Christianity is not a part where people will just celebrate you and begin to say good things about you.
in every level you go on there are people that will tag you bad.
be you a G O or a Pastor or just a member that is taking Jesus serious
see if Jesus our example himself struggle, believe me you will also do the same.
check the holy book and see there is no body that call on the name of the Lord that didn't in one way or the other fine their self in one or two struggle ( persecution). so how there you think you are better than them? oga/madam you must try your best by brazing up to face reality. see it's didn't start with you and it will not end with you. this is how God himself design it to be and it does not meet our opinion on that. that is why he is called God.
the only antido to all this is
forget about everybody
don't esteem anybody to high, your worst persecution can come from them
expect more persecution from people that call you friend and understand that they are human
don't give room for critics, but if incase you are misinterpreted you must not proof points.
if Jesus will not defend you forget it.
it better to be accurate with God than to be with man.
Don't fight elders both in the faith or outside the faith. you must rip whatever you saw
stay safe play safe just as Jesus did it.
I pray for you today, you will not mist it in Jesus name
Shalom
The struggle and challenges Christians pass through should be converted to divine strength and inspiration not to back down, generations are rising, thank you for sharing this wonderful piece.
Truly spoken!
Persecution is also part of our inheritance in Christ Jesus. The earlier we understand and embrace it, the better the journey of faith will be for us.
Thanks for sharing this thought.
