The Persecution of Increase | Voice of God with Joseph Z

Today, Joseph Z reveals the root of persecution, and how God's blessings can attract criticism. He also shows how sacrifices for the gospel yield a hundredfold return.  Joseph reveals that when we start to break free from hell's economy by giving, we face increased persecution and criticism. However, Jesus has provided a way for us to endure persecution, and we must become more steadfast in our journey with Him to overcome it. He references Mark 10:29-30 to remind us that anyone who leaves everything for the gospel will receive a hundredfold of what they sacrificed along with persecutions, and eternal life in the coming age.  Learn more about Z Ministries by following the link below: https://linktr.ee/zministries  Once again, Joseph shares the numerous persecutions he faced since deciding to follow Jesus, reminding us that certain experiences are essential in life to strengthen our faith and prepare us for greater responsibilities in the future. He emphasizes that persecution arises when we adopt the habit of sacrificing all we have for the sake of the kingdom, but we should remain hopeful because God has promised us a hundredfold return for what we give up.  Joseph assures us that our battle is not over until we win. He informs us that God's blessings often attract criticism and are frequently labeled as ill-gotten wealth or blessings. However, Joseph reassures us and urges us not to be swayed by critics, as the native tongue of the uninspired is criticism. He further emphasizes that no one escapes accountability, for what we mete out to others will also return to us. In conclusion, Joseph advises us to be cautious about our actions when we receive blessings or increases, as it could lead us to carnality.  March 28, 2025
