Over 50,000 Christians in Nigeria have been killed by Islamist Extremists
This killing of Christians has been going on consistently for over 14 years
And when he had opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God,
and for the testimony which they held:
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
And white robes were given unto every one of them;
and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season,
until their fellowservants also and their brethren,
that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled. Revelation 6:9-11
We are here
It is happening
Some of us are still sheltered from such tragedy
Some will fall away when this comes nearer
as they have not prepared their hearts
and learned to rely on the Lord Jesus Christ in full
There are some who have believed lies and fables,
that they will be kept from such horrific incidents
All of us, whether we believe it will happen to us or not, must rely on Jesus
Rely on Jesus for the ability to stand for Him no matter what we might face
We will end with these warnings from Jesus:
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul:
but rather fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew 10:28
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you:
and ye shall be hated of all nations for My name’s sake. Matthew 24::9
They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh,
that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. John 16:2
