It is sad to know that any nationality of people are being  treated unfairly.

I agree that unforntunately for some, it will take a move of the Holy
 Ghost for them to realize what they have done for them to repent and
make amends.

But God's Church is made up of people with a will of their own that sometimes
 gets in the way of what God truly wants for His people.

Rev. 2: 7,11,17; 3:5,12,21.
These are the "overcometh" verses that come after the description of each of the 7 churches.

Question:
Overcometh what?

It's not the things of the world.  It's the church.  To him that overcometh the problems/persecutions/etc that are in the church, he shall receive a reward.

Often we can tolerate persecutions/injustices etc from unsaved people, but if
a bro. or a sis. were to do the same thing, we struggle with it.

I thank the Lord Jesus Christ that in spite of divisions within the church, He is still
able to move and bless.  Just think how much the Lord could do it we were
more united!
