A lbert Einstein in his book “Ideas and opinions” page 169. Where Oppression is a stimulus. He wrote. “Perhaps even more than on its own tradition, the Jewish group has thrived on oppression and on the antagonism it has forever met in the world. Here undoubtedly lies one of the main reasons for its continued existence through so many thousands of years”
The questions have been asked for ages, why does good people suffer, while the wicked seems to be doing good. The wicked is not really doing well. He or she might have a lot of worldly good but are they happy? If they were happy why are they hooks on drugs and are given over to perversion of anal kind! Why doe Christians have to suffer persecution under the hands of difficult people?
WHY GOD PERMIT HIS PEOPLE (OR GOOD PEOPLE) TO BE PERSECUTED.
Persecution causes, both good and bad people alike to reveal what they had hidden in them, before they take public office. An evil person in public office can cause a lot of pain and sent countless numbers of people to imprisonment, and some to their untimely death. Therefore, when God offer up his people to be persecuted by evil people. God is actually giving the evil person a chance to expose himself or herself. In other word, if your mercy were so evil that you can do an innocent person like that what would you do to the guilty ones? If you are a strong Christians every where you go evil people will come picking on you because God is actually using you to make them expose themselves. Exposing themselves both to themselves and to others who are seeing there carrying on. For example, racist person do not think that they are racist. They will tell you how many (black) (White) friends they had, or “My best friend is a (black) (White)” Where is he? “I roasted his (black) (White) you know what”
Persecution if we go through it has a way to sharpen us up. It is to brave you up. To give you an example. I am not afraid of people any more especially people who are over me. The reason is this. No matter how I behave, I am still dead. No matter how well I perform, are how well I behave at the end of the day I will hear how badly I have behave. Therefore, the persecution makes me radical. If I feel like telling a person where to go hang it up I tell them regardless of who they are. A certain Christians never talk to me for some fifteen; my wife told me that such person is coming to Florida and want to come by our house with some other friends. I Sent and told him not to cross my lawn. All the other friends stop talking to me, “So what”
SATAN’S PART IN PERSECUTIONS.
In additions, diabolical force does not like when one leave their kingdom and went off to going with Jesus Christ. The Bible call Satan a “Dragon” To understand how Satan select and overcame his victim, one must look at the name that Satan is called in the Bible.
Rev. 12:9 (KJV) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
The dragon looks like a lizard, but is about the size of an alligator, and is elongated. He is slow or sluggish. A dragon is an opportunist; he does not waste time going after any animal that he cannot surprise. His plan is to creep upon an animal that is naive, wounded, asleep, or exhausted and cannot move. He makes one big bite into the animal. If that did not kill the animal on the spot, he keeps stalking the animal by following the blood. He is in no hurry. That is how Satan seeks out his victims.
PERSECUTION IS ONE OF SATAN’S TOOLS.
2 Tim. 3:12 (NASB) And indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.
Christians failed to realize that Satan is not after their salvation. Our salvation is out of Satan’s reach. Satan plan is to possess our bodies with one of his foul spirit, and having us believing that it is the Holy Spirit. Satan’s plan is to put the spirit of falsehood and the spirit of deep sleep upon us.
Satan’s plan is to make us miss divine calling. Miss divine preparation. Miss divine appointment and miss divine commission. In plane word, Satan’s plan is to cause us to reach where God want us to reach late.
Satan’s instruments are people that he can demonically inspire. Not every none Christians are under Satan’s control fully. Satan’s people are born like that
Psalm 58:3 (KJV) The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
They are easy to be use, easy to be hypnotized and easy to become part of an offense that they never even know how it started. “You just got here how come you got involved in all that mess so soon?” They are easy to be bought out and cannot stand up for justice. That is how they were born, they do not know any other life. Therefore, Satan uses these because these do not need solid reasons to hate and to get involve in a slander.
HOW THE SCRIPTURES SAY WE MUST DEAL WITH PERSECUTIONS?
Matthew 10:23 (NASB) "But whenever they persecute you in this city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you shall not finish going through the cities of Israel, until the Son of Man comes.
Acts 14:4-7 (NASB) But the multitude of the city was divided; and some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles. [5] And when an attempt was made by both the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to mistreat and to stone them, [6] they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region; [7] and there they continued to preach the gospel.
WHY OUR LORD DID NOT COMMAND HIS PEOPLE TO BEAR OUT THE PERSECUTION?
You cannot please people. People do not hate other people just because the person done something bad. It is because they saw qualities in you that midget the qualities that they got. “Men despise other men that have qualities that they themselves lack” I ask one of my enemies. “What is it about me that upset you” The person replies by saying. “You too, you too, you too” I ask. “You too what?” I do not know James, thing f # up, thing just f # up”
FROM THEY LOOK AT YOU THEY KNOW WHERE YOU ARE HEADING.
1 Samuel 3:19-20 (KJV) And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. [20] And all Israel from Dan even to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Lord.
I have to remove one of my daughters from a certain school three months before graduation. Because other students bond together and determine that, she must not make the graduation. She graduates at the other school and went to study nursing. Graduates as a RN and went on to do her masters. The rest of her achievements I am not supposed to say at this time. People can see the blessing of God upon your life and set out to destroy you.
(1) Flee from among them.
Do not let them know where you flee to. Do not let them know your plan. Do not let them know your source. You do not have to tell tham all of the truth. You do not have to tell them exactly where you work. You do not have to tell them exactly what subject you are taking in school or if you are going to open your own business upon graduation. Since they demand to know, tell them something. However, not necessarily the whole truth. 2 Cor. 6:17 (KJV)Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
Do not put their name on your resume. Tests them first, have somebody call them before.
FORGIVE THEM BUT WATCH THEM.
Luke 11:4 (NASB) 'And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.' "
WHAT THE LORD IS SAYING NONE VERBALLY HERE IS TO WATCH HIM.
Luke 17:3-4 (KJV) Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. [4] And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him. Because if he has to come back seven time in the day for the same crime, just suppose you were not watching him? He is watching you.
Psalm 37:32 (KJV) The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
