Christian persecution has been constantly on the ascent, and its negative effects have just started to be felt. Truth be told, conditions for Christians are more terrible now than they were in the times of the early Church.

The Carlos focusing of Christians—driven by the scorn of Christians and the confidence itself—develops as a shared factor in several declarations of mistreatment got by Aid to the Church in Need from nations around the globe. Giving in crisis help foster peace in the lives of the affected Christians in those trying times. Most importantly strengthen their faith. Many foundations and churches with missions as their focus have added it as their responsibility to ensure that persecuted Christians are looked after.
Today, as indicated by research, nearly 300 million Christians around the globe—or 1 out of each 7—live in a nation where they endure some type of mistreatment, for example, discretionary capture, viciousness, a full scope of basic liberties infringement, and even killing. We have been recording this infringement of strict restrictions in two biennial reports, “Strict Freedom in the World” and “Abused and Forgotten?”. The examination inspects conditions in 196 nations. Open Doors puts the quantity of Christians killed for their Believe in 2018 at more than 4,000 and reports that at any rate 11 Christians are killed each and every day in the 50 most noticeably terrible culpable nations.
It must be noticed that a few bodies observing Christian persecution around the globe put the total number of Christians enduring different types of oppression as high as 600 million; the Pew Research Center has announced that the number of nations where Christians are dependent upon a level of government-authorized limitations and common aggression has developed from 108 of every 2014 to 128 out of 2015 and to 143 out of 2017.

ACN’s latest examination shows that between June 2016 and June 2018 especially grave infringement of freedom occurred in 38 nations, in 17 of which minority religions—and Christianity figuring most noticeably among them—endured occurrences of extreme discrimination; in 21 countries proof is discovered of through and through abuse, even to the point of death.

There is so much to be said about the happenings in the world when it comes to persecution. We cant exhaust the stories about the inhuman treatment of Christians in countries like Nigeria, China, Pakistan, Iran, and others, a lot is really happening.
Faith is required however to scale through challenges of persecution. When we draw back our attention to the book of Mattew 24, Jesus told us how we can act in the face of persecution. he went further to show us examples using his own life as an example when he stood before Herod and before Pilate. the bible tells us he opened not his mouth and did not resist the persecution rather he gave his life willingly.

In the book of acts of the apostles, we see similar events in the life of the disciples of Jesus Christ how they too exercised faith in persecution, sighting the case of Stephen who was stoned to death by reason of his faith, the Bible told us that he did not resist, he believed in the Saviour Our Lord Jesus Christ and was willing to lay down his life to prove it.

Fellow Christians, Christ did not promise us a world filled with peace, as a matter of fact, he said, In this world, you shall have many tribulations, but fear not, I have overcome the world.

The Father Smiles at us with fulfillment when we suffer persecutions and overcome through our faith. It is not easy to face the situation of having to make a choice between your faith and your life, but each time we choose our faith over our life we tell God that nothing can separate us from his love which is in Christ Jesus. Count it all joy therefore when you face diverse persecutions because your crown awaits you and he that endures to the very end shall be safe.

Keep The Faith
