Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 25th February 2025, Tuesday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: A Million New Believers
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10
Recommended Reading: Acts 5:17-25
Last year, pastor Farshid Fathi spoke about the growth of the church in Iran. Fathi spent years in Iranian prisons for his faith. Now he serves in Turkey among the hundreds of thousands of Iranians living there. He estimates there are more than a million new believers in Iran despite severe restrictions on them. “Persecution is not the end of the story, but part of it,”said Fathi.”The greatest demonstration of love we can make is to be willing to go through suffering”*
The Christians in Jesus’ day were persecuted because of the difference in their lives. When we live for Christ, we
will sometimes be reviled and persecuted. Even in the West, increasing pressures are falling on those holding
a biblical worldview. But we must never be intimidated. Should persecution come, God will give us the grace to uphold the cross of Jesus Christ with joy.
It’s time to speak up for Christ and for our
Gospel story. Abide in Him, knowing you
will be blessed, even if opposed.
TURNING POINT
I pray regularly that God would soften the hearts of Iran’s leaders to see the gospel for what it is: good news, not a threat.
Farshid Fathi
