Please Pray Our Persecuted Brethren

"For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood opponents,

but against the despotisms, against the powers, against the master

spirits who are the world rulers of this present darkness,

against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly sphere."

Ephesians 6:11

While the US media seems to be preoccupied in

their seemingly never ending quest to destroy President Trump,

innocent people are being slaughtered in the Plateau State

of the African nation of Nigeria by Islamic militants.

According to a report by CBN News, reports from Nigeria claim

that Muslim Fulani herdsmen have launched more murderous attacks

against Christian villages there.

Morning Star news reports that at least 32 people were attacked 

and killed and a pastor's home and church building were burned to

the ground in two nights of attacks by Islamic militants

in Nigeria's Plateau State region.

In recent weeks, many Christian brothers and sisters, including

a pregnant woman, have lost their lives in these horrible attacks.

In many nations across Africa there are Christian men, women,

and children being targeted for their faith in Christ.

We need to pray for them, that God will send a force of His

mightiest angels to surround and protect them, and that other

nations in the world, especially the United States of America,

will come to the aid of the Nigerian government in stopping

 and apprehending these marauding herdsmen and other

Islamic terrorist groups across Africa and the Middle East.

We also need to recognize that the human attackers of our

Christian brethren are under the influence of the prince of the

 power of the air, the enemy of the souls of mankind, Satan.

Let us pray for our enemies too, that the scales blinding their

minds to the truth of God and the saving power of the Lord Jesus Christ

will be dropped from their eyes and their hearts and they will be

receptive to the Word of God and the message of salvation.

I believe that with God, and the earnest prayers of many righteous warriors

for the Lord Jesus Christ, all things are indeed possible!
