PERSECUTED AND NOT CELEBRATED

What this episode covers

Galatians 1:10 (NIV) Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.   Today, many are addicted to appeasing others to be popular or liked. Yet, in the days of old, most apostles, prophets, and Bible characters respected in Christendom were heavily persecuted for their belief in God! While being widely known isn't bad, let the notability you gain result from the impact you've made within the Body of Christ. Apostle Paul wrote several New Testament books while in Roman captivity. Jeremiah was consistently attacked and hated for his prophecies, even by those closest to him. John wrote the book of Revelation while exiled to the island of Patmos. Though these biblical heroes faced hardships, their impact has lasted thousands of years! Your walk with God isn't a popularity contest; it's a chance to make a genuine impact on millions of lost souls. Break chains in your community, workplace or school. Choose today to make a difference for Jesus Christ!  PROPHETIC DECLARATION I am destined to break chains and transform lives. Nations witness the gift of God in me, and I'm a celebrity in the heavenlies. By His grace, I triumph over adversity and lead many to salvation. I declare victory and influence for His Kingdom, in Jesus' Name. Amen! FURTHER STUDY  1 Thessalonians 2:4
