How much power does it take to conquer yourself

Levi 2022-03-23 09:03:06

A person who can be called a servant of God, I think, is a person who completely obeys God, no matter what the circumstances are, no matter what the opinions of the people around them are, as long as they clearly know that this is God’s will, they will not hesitate or give up. Be brave and go forward...
God tells us in the Bible that there is no greater love than this in laying down our lives for our friends. These faithful servants of God who are far on the front line of danger, all the old people who are more than old, have experienced hesitation and struggle. This is really a real battle between two spirits in the heart. Thank the Lord for relying on the great power of God. Able to be strong, they took the courage of the gods in singing hymns, resolutely chose to face any danger, did not back down, and worked hard to move forward...
At the moment when they smelled the smell of death, they firmly chose to stay one by one. Come down, do not leave this land given by God, and would rather give up your life for the cause of faith and the gospel, and do not breathe like the rest of the world...
The word of God resounded in my ears, "Matt. 10:39 Gaining life will lose his life. He who loses his life for my sake will find it.”

Of Gods and Men quotes

  • Christian: [Voice-over] Should it ever befall me, and it could happen today, to be a victim of the terrorism swallowing up all foreigners here, I would like my community, my church, my family, to remember that my life was given to God and to this country. That the Unique Master of all life was no stranger to this brutal departure. And that my death is the same as so many other violent ones, consigned to the apathy of oblivion. I've lived enough to know, I am complicit in the evil that, alas, prevails over the world and the evil that will smite me blindly. I could never desire such a death. I could never feel gladdened that these people I love be accused randomly of my murder. I know the contempt felt for people here, indiscriminately. And I know how Islam is distorted by certain Islamism. This country, and Islam, for me are something different. They're a body and a soul. My death, of course, will quickly vindicate those who call me naïve or idealistic, but they must know that I will be freed of a burning curiosity and, God willing, will immerse my gaze in the Father's and contemplate with him his children of Islam as he sees them. This thank you which encompasses my entire life includes you, of course, friends of yesterday and today, and you too, friend of the last minute, who knew not what you were doing. Yes, to you as well I address this thank you and this farewell which you envisaged. May we meet again, happy thieves in Paradise, if it pleases God the Father of us both. Amen. Insha'Allah.

  • Christian: We are martyrs out of love, out of fidelity. If death overtake us, despite ourselves, because up to the end, up to the end we'll try to avoid it. Our mission here is to be brothers to all. Remember that love is eternal hope. Love endures everything.
