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.
24 Then
Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and
said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of
the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
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.
