2 Corinthians 11: 22-33

[22] Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.

[23] Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

[24] Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

[25] Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;

[26] in journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

[27] in weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.

[28] Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.

[29] Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?

[30] If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities.

[31] The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is blessed for evermore, knoweth that I lie not.

[32] In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

[33] and through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Sunday, 12th October, 2025.

Persecution started from Chapter 4 of the book of Genesis where Cain rose up and slew his own brother, Abel, because the Lord respected the offering of Abel. In verse 8, the Bible says, "And Cain talked with Abel his brother, and it came to pass when they were in the field, then Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him." What is persecution? Persecution is the act of harassing, oppressing or killing people because of their differences in the society. Christians are persecuted because of their belief in Jesus Christ as Saviour does not conform to the godlessness of this sinful world.

The Bible records the persecution of God's people in both Old and New Testaments. For example, the Philistines and the Amalekites constantly attacked the Jews because the Jews rejected idolatry and worship the one true God. Daniel was thrown into the lion's den because of his strong belief in God by regularly praying unto Him for the deliverance of Jews during their captivity in Babylon.

Jesus also warned his followers that they would be persecuted. "Therefore, behold I send unto you prophets and wise men and scribes and some of them ye shall kill and crucify. .." (Matthew 23:24). The Bible says we are in the world but not of this world. Therefore, if you call yourself a child of God and you have not been persecuted in one way or the other, your situation is questionable. Persecution is a must for every child of God. Jesus Christ said, "If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you" (John 15:20). In times of persecution, you are to remain steadfast. Remember what Apostle Paul said in Romans 8:35, "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword?"

Beloved, always remember the promise of our faithful Saviour and Lord, "I will never leave you; I will never forsake you." Hold on to that promise in the face of persecution. You will prevail, in Jesus' name.
