Spreading the Word of God is a very big challenge for today’s Christian. It is a challenge of spreading the Word of God throughout the world. This challenge, of being spiritual fulfilled for spreading the Word of God might also mean of facing persecution.

Persecution for the Christian entails to be joyful in that situation. It also entails to forgive and pray for the person doing the act of persecution.

When a Christian shows that he is joyful during persecution, it is a sign that the Christian is really following Christ.

Are you joyful when being persecuted?
