Christians Are Being Persecuted — A Biblical Response | John Giftah

Persecution against Christians is not a distant reality — it is happening right now, both in India and the United States. In today’s episode of Fuel for the Soul with John Giftah, we reflect on recent real-life incidents of pastors and believers being harassed, attacked, and humiliated for their faith. These stories are painful, disturbing, and difficult to hear — but they raise an important question: How should followers of JESUS respond? Instead of reacting with anger, outrage, or retaliation, Scripture calls us to a higher response. In this episode, John shares biblical teaching that challenges believers to:Pray for those who persecute usLove our enemies instead of hating themBless those who oppose usRespond with Christlike humility and courageThis message is not only for those facing extreme persecution, but also for anyone dealing with opposition, hostility, unfair treatment, or constant resistance in daily life. Whether the persecution is public or personal, JESUS calls us to respond with prayer, love, and faith — not bitterness. 🎧 Listen to this episode and be reminded that our greatest weapon is not anger, but prayer.You can buy my new bestselling book, UNVEIL YOUR PURPOSE (a #1 Newly Released Bestseller on Amazon) here: India: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.in/UNVEIL-YOUR-PURPOSE-John-Giftah/dp/B08K2CJKP2/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=john+giftah&qid=1611990618&sr=8-1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Global Amazon.com: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/Unveil-Your-Purpose-Complete-Created-ebook/dp/B08L7XX9PJ/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=john+giftah%27&qid=1611990705&sr=8-2⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ You can stay in touch with me through these platforms: YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/johngiftah⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/johngiftah⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sjohngiftah/ Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.johngiftah.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you're blessed by this sermon, don't forget to share it with someone, and please do rate/ review the podcast so that it will help us reach more people with the message of hope.
