1 Peter 4:17 appears to explain that Christians may face God’s judgment, too: It says “For it is time for judgment to begin at the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?”
Over the past few years we have seen the menace of BH and Fulani Herdsmen targeting Christian communities in the northern part of the country. We can also include the systematic and subtle attacks on the church by a certain governor. As Christians we have been crying to God for help and deliverance on these issues.
Now according to Paul in the book of 2 Corinthians 10 Vs 6, which states 'Being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete', to me may mean that a man can earn the moral right to demand for justice and deliverance from God when his hands are clean. Just like the adage that says, 'he that must come to equity must come with clean hands'. And once this stronghold is pulled down - or once the strong man has been bound "Mark 3:27" then God can move unrestrained by laws to act in the matters that concern the safety of his people. (This doesn't negate the fact that God is still God and and he can do what ever he wants irrespective of the spiritual laws involved, hence even the lawful captives shall be set free - Isaiah 49:24-25.)
An example which can be understood by those who are actively involved in deliverance from demonic oppression, is that an individual under demonic oppression can be delivered but if it proves too difficult, then the demon may be holding to a legal right to torment the victim. Now until those legal rights are dealt with, the demon can continue to hold the person hostage.
The current events being experienced by the church of Christ may be the beginning of a much needed purge, having completed this process, the church in Nigeria will be in right standing with God to demand justice and judgement on these destructive elements. Just my opinion.

Some of you are so happy to hear of people being persecuted.

That's evil.
