The times we are living in have brought about a strange revelation: people today are increasingly hating on Christians. They question our faith, they mock our resilience, and they wonder why, despite the criticism and ill treatment, we continue to rise, thrive, and remain unshaken.
The truth is, this hatred comes from a place of misunderstanding. What people fail to see is the power of a faithful God who honors those who seek Him. Many of our parents spent sleepless nights in church, praying fervently for their children—prayers soaked in tears, faith, and persistence. It is no wonder that, no matter how the world fights us, God’s hand remains on our lives.
Ask yourself this: Who will God listen to most? The one who spent their days chasing after worldly pleasures, sleeping with one woman after another? Or the one who spent nights on their knees in the presence of God, pleading for their children, their family, and their future? God honors prayer and faithfulness. He rewards those who diligently seek Him.
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
This is why we see Christian pastors driving expensive cars and leading blessed lives. People mock them, accuse them, and call them thieves, yet they refuse to accept one simple truth: God is faithful. He keeps His word. He is not a man that He would lie (Numbers 23:19). What He promises, He fulfills. Those who trust Him with their lives will not be disappointed.
I dare you to believe God!
Today, I challenge you to look around your life and ask yourself: Where do I stand with God? The signs of the end times are becoming clearer each day. The hatred towards Christians, the pride of life, and the rejection of truth are all symptoms of a world turning further from God (2 Timothy 3:1-5). Yet, even in these dark days, God remains ready to receive anyone who turns to Him.
No matter how far you have wandered, no matter how much you have doubted or denied Him, He is ready to welcome you with open arms. He is faithful to forgive and faithful to transform.
Romans 10:9 says: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Will you choose to believe Him today? Will you trust the God who never fails and who remains faithful to His promises?
