This is a prayer request on behalf of a dear brother in Christ in Nigeria, Temitope Peters Adewole. I have a few of his articles here on my blog. He has notified me that his life is in danger as we speak, for preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.
1Thes 1:3-5 We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer…
Please also remember to pray for those that would want to persecute us, that they might, by the mercy of God, be granted repentance and turn to the Living God and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mat 5:44-48 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
