MIGHTY TO SAVE
Memorise: If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us
from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O
king. Daniel 3:17
Read: Daniel 3:20-25, (KJV) 20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his
army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning
fiery furnace.
21 Then
these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their
other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Therefore
because the king's commandment was urgent and the furnace exceeding hot, the
flames of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.
23 And
these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the
midst of the burning fiery furnace.
25 He
answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire,
and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
Bible in one year: Ezra 8:24-10:44, Ecclesiastes 7:9-18
MESSAGE
It is a precious thing to know
the God you serve. The Almighty God is mighty to save. They that know their God
shall be strong and do exploits. The three Hebrew boys were able to stand
before the King and the religious leaders of their time to declare the
sovereignty of the Almighty God because they knew Him well. From the story in
today’s Bible reading, it is evident that there are tremendous benefits in
knowing the God you serve. The knowledge of the boys delivered them from the destruction
of the King. The presence of God provided a divine seal of approval that these
were not jokers, but genuine children of God. The knowledge of God produces
strength and courage, knowing well that there is nothing that confronts you in
life that is beyond God. These boys did not serve God only because He could
save them; they served Him majorly because of who they knew Him to be. There
are many people who are only serving God as long as things are happening in
their best interests.
God does not like enemies
rejoicing over His children. Every time there is a situation that might result
in the enemy rejoicing over the children of God, He will step in to show to the
world that He is mighty to save. This is why I pity those who mess with the
anointed of the Lord. There are two people to fear in this world: God, and the
man that fears God. The moment you are a genuine child of God, all your enemies
automatically become God’s enemies. Nobody can fight God and win, the moment
God takes over the battles of your life, you can confidently go to sleep with
your two eyes closed.
Are you like Shedrach, Meshach
and Abednego? Have you made up your mind that no amount of threat made towards
you in your place of work will make you compromise your faith? I want to congratulate
you, because if you don’t bow, you are not going to burn. Don’t ever risk your
glorious destiny in God by worshipping anything that represents Nebuchadnezzar.
Your God is greater and has full control over all kings and powers. He has the
power to unseat anyone making life difficult for you. I decree that everyone
who wants you to bow to them at the detriment of your faith in God will be
removed from their positions without prior notice in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, from today, deliver me from those that are stronger than me
in Jesus name.
