Christian's Need To Be Bold And Speak Up Against Persecution And Intimidation. by Raysleek: 1:02am On Apr 04, 2020
This is going to be very short. As Christian's we are admonished by christ to be as as wise as a serpent and as gentle as doves christianity promotes utmost peace and in no matter whatsoever condones physical violence. Even when Jesus was about to be arrested an apostle reached for his dagger and attacked one of the soldiers, cutting off his ear but Jesus rebuked the apostle against such and healed the soldier then submitted himself to be arrested. The church has suffered most persecution and physical abuse and harm in times past and these days we might be heading to such a time again. With the advent of phones and the internet every small minded person wants to gain relevance be insulting the church or insulting men of God and discrediting whatever they say. You see rotten comments getting so much likes and we Christian's dont say much. They use offerings and tithes as a point. And I often ask them how much of their money is the church offerings? None
Since you stopped giving tithes and offerings has the church gone poor or broke? No.
Have you spoken against the bokoharam sponsors and ISIS that are violent organisations? No
Have you spoken against sponsors of child trafficking? No
Have you attempted to hold rallies against violence? No
Yet they hold rallies against Christian's living the life of christ because they know our weapons are not physical.
We know we cant convince those who have a wrong conception but let's always try to speak up and condemn their insults this alone will not quench the faith of our brothers.
These timid lot cant speak against Islam and the prophets of Islam's holy book cos they know these ones are ready to defend their religion physically and brutally. Yet they pick on the quiets Otherwise a time of physical abuse and persecution will arise in our time.

In this world we will have persecutions and tribulations but Christ says we should rejoice because he has won the victory for us.... And woe to he through whom tribulation comes to a child of God.

Very true but let's not keep quiet our weapons are not made with hands but they lie in our tongue. Let's not cower in fear lets always correct people in love and stand up our brethren that do so. If there are 50 likes on an insulting comment on christianity, the post that defends the gospel should get 1000 likes. So we wont lose the neutral ones to evil arguments cos their voice seems louder
