‭‭PERSEVERE TILL THE END

We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end.

-Hebrews‬ ‭3:14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

In the book of Ezra, Cyrus, king of Persia who conquered Babylon, sent the children of Israel home to rebuild the temple of God in Jerusalem. They encountered opposition and stopped. In ‭‭Haggai‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬, the Lord said “Is it a time for you yourselves to be living in your paneled houses, while this house remains a ruin?”

We are not the generation that surrenders to challenges of this world for we have the Holy Spirit. Let us not lose heart over challenges, but rather consider them as opportunities to glorify God. That was why when the Israelites left Egypt the Lord led them around the desert toward the Red Sea, for He said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.” ( ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭13:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

We are saved for work, let us persevere till the end despite opposition. ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46:3‬ ‭TPT‬‬ says, " For the raging roar of stormy winds and crashing waves cannot erode our faith in you." Our Lord Jesus won victory for us despite opposition, and sent us to walk in it and not walk as victims. He said, "the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne." ( ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭3:21‬ ‭NIV‬‬)

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE TO PERSEVERE TILL THE END DESPITE OPPOSITIONS IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
