Watch out you troublemakers...!

II Thessalonians 1:6-12 NKJV

since it  is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed. Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Shalom! Day #28. Do you know that God will never let go those who trouble you, persecute you and those who harm you? Let's pray. Father, we thank You for this blessed assurance knowing that You are watching over us and keeping us away from dangers and harms. Lord, we thank You for Your protection.  In Jesus name we ask anr pray, amen!

As I was reading this verse, somehow it came into my spirit regarding the situations that's happening in my country, Malaysia. The whole world knows of what's happening here. I believe strongly that God has installed something greater behind everything that's taken place. From the usage of God's name "Allah" to the confiscation of the bibles and now a molotov bomb was thrown at a church. The persecution has begun.  I believe that the end is at hand and  I believe that the Lord is coming back. In this verse it says that, God will never let go the troublemakers, no matter who they are and He will give rest to the troubled hearts. Wow! And it goes on saying that "in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in His saints and to be admired among all those who believe, because our testimony among you was believed." Hallelujah!  The foolish reacts and wage war in flesh, but the people of God reacts and wage war in prayer. We are not against flesh and blood but against the power of darkness that's at work behind certain people. The battle belongs to the Lord and the Lord will avenge those stir up tension and chaos towards the Christians.

Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power, that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. We as believers are to remain faithful no matter what happens. Lest we be found unfaithful and turn back against our God and our faith in the midst of the things that's been happening now. I'm speaking generally. It doesn't matter who the troublemakers are, whether at your work place, school, university or wherever you are, He is with you. He is your Father who looks after you. You just got to remain calm and fulfill your calling. This is an opportunity for us to radically proclaim His kingdom on earth. Finally, in whatever you do, make sure that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
