Rom 8:18
18 For I consider that our present sufferings cannot even be compared to the glory that will be revealed to us.
NLT
Aisha was sixteen when she gave her life to Christ. The next ten years of her life was hell on earth; her parents did everything within their power to cause her to come back to their faith, when they did not succeed, they resulted to persecuting her in ways that are unimaginable. There was a night her father woke her up by pouring boiling water on her two legs. She was beaten several times, her parents stopped paying her school fees…she was persecuted for Christ’s sake.
The story of Aisha is not very unusual in certain parts of the world today. I want to use today’s devotional to encourage anyone who is going through persecution because of faith in Christ Jesus. I want you to remember that your present sufferings cannot even be compared to the glory that will be revealed to you. You have been called into a kingdom that is eternal, you have made the wisest choice to follow Jesus and you will reap the benefits for all of eternity.
Go into today knowing that everything in this realm of existence is temporary (see 2 Cor 4:18) and God is bringing you into the realm that never ends, in this realm, you are unexplainably glorious.
Let us remember to pray for our brethren who are facing persecutions because of the faith; that the grace of the lord will abound toward them, that they will not be discouraged.
Prayer: thank you heavenly father for saving and giving me a heritage in your eternal kingdom. I pray you help me walk daily in the reality of this, in Jesus name I pray. Amen.
