The church in the Acts of the Apostles was not cowered by persecution, it prayed for more boldness and more exploit amidst it.
Right prayers amidst persecutions will birth great grace and miracles, not just of convictions and conversion, but of healing; for Jesus hasn't changed and His power, still the same.
We trust the Lord for great grace upon people in the regions where persecution ravages like tsunami. that they shall wrought exploits amidst all these. We know Lord that in the flesh, we consider them as victims but we know they are overcomers.
Let there be more miracles happening where they are, Lord. Much more than where the church basks in comfort and opulence.
Let there be convictions among the persecutors. Let them see the visions of heaven and its welcome to the martyred saints.
Let these persecuted Christians stand strong in your grace in spite of the killings. Let them be steadfast to recognize like Polycarp from the 1st century that you are not a disappointment.
Have your way on earth, dear Lord.
Let believers in safety understand their privileges. Let their safety not be misconstrued as a right or a sign of being better. Help us to lift up in prayers the arms of our brethren being harmed.
Amidst all these, we know Lord, that ...
...the gates of hell shall not prevail
... the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our God and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever.
... of the increase if His government, there shall be no end .....
... the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as water covers the sea.
For the kingdom is yours, and the power, and the glory, forever.
Amen!
