Persecuted for Christ
:
Yesterday, I woke up, walked to my table clock, saw that it was 6.30am, then went back to bed. I later woke up at 8.30am. During 6.30 to 8.30am, I had a dream. A very scary dream.
I dreamt that I was with one of my school teachers. We were running, in what seemed like an abandoned school. We went then pushed onto the floor by someone. Then we were like frantic trembling, then another person walked to us, holding a gun. Then that guy asked us a question (cant remember), then that teacher said yes, and he shot. The surprising thing is that I did not like cry or cared abt that teacher. I immediately just looked at the guy holding a gun, and raised my both hands. He asked me the same question, my heart wanted to say yes, but my body wants to say no. So I said yes, and I was shot, just below my heart near the stomach, but I didnt die. Then I woke up. Scary isnt it?
Yesterday I went to school, then I went to church for dance meeting. It was a long journey in the bus, so I took out my Bible to read. Then I had to change bus. I continued reading the Bible. Waiting so long for the bus to come. Then this verse struck me.
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, BUT HE WHO STANDS FIRM TO THE END WILL BE SAVED. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and the end will come. " Matthew 24: 9-14
I can never imagine if that were to happen in Singapore. Will the people around me hold on to their faith? Will I hold on to my faith? I pray to God that on that day, if someone is to ask me point-black if I believed in God, I would say yes.
So christians all around the world, ARE YOU READY FOR THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS???
