Persecuted?

Do you feel persecuted? Have you experienced persecution for being a Christian? I have no doubt that some here in the West have suffered persecution in one way or another because of their faith in Jesus Christ. You have lost jobs, loans, and other opportunities, and have even been put in jail because you believe in Jesus. In today's post, I would like to direct your attention to another persecution that is ongoing each and every day against Christians who have paid the ultimate price for their faith. I do not post this to minimize in any way your persecution for your faith. I post this because I want you to be aware that you are not alone.


I have been following the Christian persecution in Africa (particularly in Nigeria) for a while now. This article recently came to light, https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/05/nigeria-exclusive-christians-killed-faster-than-news-can/. I encourage you to read it. The Christian situation in Nigeria is dire, very dire. There is very little coverage from the Western media about their persecution. Just as there is little attention paid to Christian persecution in the Sudan, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, and now even in Europe. The Bible in John 16:33 says, “...In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” And also in John 15: 20 says, ”Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you...”


Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Pray that Our Lord would surround them with His Holy Host and protect them. Pray that He would strengthen them in their persecution. And pray that Christians around the world will rise up and make their voices heard to end this suffering. Romans 5:1-5 says, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.” Until next time.

Walk in the guidance of the Lord.
