Heb 13: 3
Remember those in prison as if you
were together with them in prison.
The writer
reminds the Church to pray for those Christian brothers and leaders who have
been unfairly persecuted and thrown into prisons. This has been the work of the
enemies of the Church and even to this very day, many Christians are suffering
the same fate
We continue
to see and read reports of Churches and Christians in anti-Christ nations that
persecute the believers and full time minsters. Many pagan religions are
against the true religion of Christianity. Today in many parts of the world,
ministers are being arrested unfairly and thrown into prisons and many are even
tortured and killed.
The stories
that are told tell us of their sufferings, and persecutions in prisons even in
this time. In the Middle East countries many Christian girls and women are caught
mercilessly, sexually abused and then sold of cheaply as sex slaves. This is
the fate of believers in many nations and had been for thousands of years.
We are told
in the word of God that in these last days, persecution will increase and great
tribulation will come upon the world including the Church and the believers. We
see great tribulations in some parts of the world and we will see even greater
tribulations that will arise. In fact open threats have been made by the anti-Christ
religions but world governments are tolerating and accepting these because they
are part of the anti-Christ movements.
For those
who are free, let us thank God for our freedom and for those who are in the
danger zones, let us pray for them.
