Even in the face of some of the harshest persecution in the world, Nigerian believers are finding hope in the Lord.
From CBN. Fulani terrorists have reportedly killed hundreds of Christians, displaced thousands of residents, and destroyed nearly 30 church buildings in central Nigeria since mid-May.

Rev. Timothy Daluk of Mangu County told Morning Star News Fulani terrorists have killed 300 Christians, displaced 30,000 residents, destroyed 28 church buildings, 2,000 houses, and looted 150 trailer loads of grains in the area. …
But the country moved up to the sixth place on Open Door’s 2023 World Watch List, which ranks the top 50 countries with the worst persecution of Christians.
“The persecution facing Christians in Nigeria is extreme and often brutally violent, as Islamic militants and armed bandits attack with increasing impunity,” reads the report.
It continued, “… More Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than in the rest of the world combined.” …
Pastor Amos Mohzo says he is trying to encourage those who have been displaced following the attacks.
“This is our encouragement to you – don’t be afraid,” he told them. …
“The Lord is your strength, and He alone can meet your needs and expectations during this period,” he continued. …
“Let us not put our hope on how much weapons we can get to defend ourselves, because our weapon is in Christ,” he said. …

Their faith is such a deep encouragement to my heart. I read this quote recently in the book live not by lies by rod draher, ” a time of painful testing, even persecution is coming. Lukewarm or shallow Christians will not come through with their faith intact.” I fear for Christians in the West because what we call persecution would not even register for the vast majority of nations in the world where having the Christian faith is costly. May their example encourage us and build our faith and call us into a deeper dependence on our King and our God.

Isaiah 14 “Taunt Song against Babylon”
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+14%3A1-23&version=CJB;HCSB
Dear Heavenly Father, the spirit of Babylon is alive today just as it was in Isaiah’s time. But ranking means nothing because EVERYTHING that has life, breath and existence is under Your control. So, as I read through Isaiah’s taunt-song, I pray You will remember this declaration for the persecuted church in Nigeria, N. Korea, Somalia, Yemen, Eritrea, Libya, India, China, Cuba, Mexico…. in EVERY nation that holds Your people in contempt.
🎶Father, give them rest from suffering and let them know the insolence of their aggressor has ended.
🎶Break the hold of the wicked leaders who have subdued Your people with relentless persecution.
🎶Let the earth rest as Your people praise Your Name.
🎶Rise up against the wicked, You are Adonai Tzva’ot, Commander of all the armies of Heaven AND earth.
🎶Cut off the spirit of Babylon and sweep it away with Your broom of destruction.
I ask this and so much more in the Name of Jesus Christ, who OVERCAME the evil one. Amen
Dear Jesus we pray for our brothers and sisters in Nigeria dear Lord you know what they are going through you know their heart and we pray dear God that your comfort and Your hand be upon them that you will protect them and their families from evil and that you will soften the hearts of the persecutors against them. Dear Lord we know you are in control and we lay everything before you in Jesus name amen
