Life and teachings of Jesus

“Blessed are the peacemakers…“
Whether you seek to live in peace with others, as far as it is possible (Rom 12 v 18), find peace in your own life amidst the chaos in the world or even when God disciplines us, you will be called sons (and daughters) of God and the reward is “peaceful fruits of righteousness” (Heb 12 v 11).

“Blessed are those who have been persecuted…”
Do you hold on to a form of godliness and selective with your witnessing? Are you committed to God when it suits you, but fall back into old habits easily? You probably have not experienced persecution for your belief in Him… The moment you decide to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus (2 Tim 3 v 12), you will suffer at the hands of people and be persecuted for your faith.

You are considered blessed if you suffer for following Jesus. Majority of the prophets, disciples and Jesus Himself, were persecuted and killed for their faith. You will not be an exception if you stand up for the truth in this lost world. Persevere in the faith, for your reward in heaven is great.
