SEIZED AND TAKEN TO THE MAGISTRATE

Our influence as Christians in places where our faith is portrayed as a threat to beliefs, traditions, and customs of the majority, makes us unfavored by their governing authorities who only work for the interest of the people (Luke 21:12). People who detest our faith usually accuse us, the Faithful, of causing disturbances to their comfortable existence and introduce the lie of unlawful teachings before magistrates and law enforcement agencies; yet, God always advocates for us (1 Kings 18:17, Luke 12:11 & 12).
Therefore, as Heirs of the Father, we should remain under the guidance of the Holy Spirit without fear and the LORD who chose us for the Great Commission, will keep us vindicated (Exo. 14:14, Ps. 135:14, Is. 49:25).

PRAYER: In Lord Jesus' Name, thank You, Awesome God, and Loving Father, for protecting and vindicating me from the persecution of the wicked, even as You strengthen me to fulfill the Great Commission as a vessel in Your hands. Please continue to fill me with the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit, whose ministration brings peace to the hearts of the repentant, and does not give room for legal challenges to worry me;
Amen!

From Acts 16:19-22
