Bring disgrace upon the arrogant people who lied about me; Psalm 119:78 The Holy Bible, The New Living Translation
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah Ghmolah ( The God of Recompense. The God of vengeance ) that You see the petty, cruel behavior towards me by those who are gleefully dancing with the devil.
Thank you that You that You soothe the nasty cuts they inflict upon me with delight and give me the strength, integrity and wisdom to not behave in the same way as they do to me.
Thank you that You are a God of justice and their cruel words shall be like hot burning coals upon their own heads.
I praise You in the name of He who was hated and despised for walking uprightly by those that should have known better, Jesus Christ. Amen
May the God of justice bounce the wickeds filth off of you and hurl it back on them. Joseph a son of Jehovah

The troubles of my heart are multiplied; Bring me out of my distresses. Psalms 25:17 The Holy Bible Amplified Version
If you want to live an easy comfortable life do not become a Christian.
A Christians life can be expected to be one filled with sorrow, pain, hardship and loneliness.
You will be filled with sorrow at the ones who reject Christ (especially those in your maternal family) and by extension ostracize you. You will not be invited to family get togethers, weddings, funerals or anniversaries. It will cut deep.
You will suffer pain of never being invited to get togethers by those you work with. You will be treated like a freak and mocked.
You will suffer loneliness as Christ takes you away from comforts of this life into service for Him. You will feel as if you are the only person in the world because everyone around you rejects you mocks you and ostracizes you. It will cost you your family, your friends, your career, maybe your health, your financial security.
You will face hardship because of what you have to surrender unto Christ (in the beginning of your walk you will not be sure if He will supply your needs).
If this sounds like to heavy of a price to pay let us look at the rewards:
You can be sure that no matter the family and friends who reject you Christ will bring to you a Christian communion that will be closer than any maternal family member or worldly friend.
No matter recession or physical injury or anything that hampers you finances Christ will always make sure you have a comfortable place to live, clothes on your back and food in your belly.
In your hardship it will bring you ever closer to Christ which will expand your love, admiration, trust and friendship with Him, which is the best treasure of them all.
It is not: is it worth giving up everything to become a Christian but rather why in the world would I desire anything but Christ in my life. Joseph a son of Jehovah
“I didn’t go to religion to make me ‘happy.’ I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.”C. S. Lewis
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Uzam (The Lord is our Strength in Trouble) for blessing me with Your Divine strength to endure and prosper (yes prosper because the prosperity is in the enlargement of our eternal love affair) during my suffering because of my association with You. I exalt You in the name of He gladly enduring the most horrible suffering for me Jesus Christ. Amen
The gift of love, the gift of joy, the gift of peace, these are the greatest gifts that can be given. They are given in abundance to all those in Christs family by our Heavenly loving Father. May you be blessed with plentiful opportunities to share these with those around you today.
