“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:10-16 NIV
The Lord says, “Blessed are you when people persecute you and say all kinds of evil about you because of Me. Great is your reward! (Matthew 5:11-12 NIV). Keep doing good!”
“I know that you are weary but keep letting your light shine and do not withhold good from others when it is in your power to bless them (Proverbs 3:27). There are times when you receive backlash from the very ones you are intending to bless. Keep doing good! Know that you wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). It is important that you put on your spiritual armor! The enemy would seek to devour you, looking for any small crack or area of weakness. Keep your shield of faith up and your feet fitted with the gospel of peace (Ephesians 6:15).”
“In reality, you are releasing arrows of light that is taking territory from the kingdom of darkness. Don’t back down! Refuse to get weary in well doing and know that all deeds done as unto Me, great or small, has not gone unnoticed. I am your exceedingly great reward! Keep doing good!“
“For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.” Psalm 84:11 NIV
