Ashes:July 2008-Life of Daniel

Dearest in the Lord,

Greetings to all of you in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Thanking God for His mercy in leading us to another month. Our hearts ought to flow with thanksgiving.Hallelujah!Let me share in brief of what the Lord taught me from Daniel 6.We can draw some great insights from there.

 

1)THE PUBLIC LIFE OF DANIEL(v4)

Please see the verse At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.

The verse is straightforward, in His conduct of government affairs, they could find no charges against Him. He was not corrupt, He was trustworthy and was very diligent in his duties.

Child of God, how is your public life. Understand also the context for this. The King was planning to promote Daniel. Remember there is a commotion in the enemy’s camp, when the KING has planned a promotion for you..but remember God is on your side!!

 

2)The PRAYER LIFE OF DANIEL(v10)

Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.

 

Well these days we hear and face a lot of politics. Sometimes we face the heat of the situations. See Daniel had a good rapport with the King. He could have gathered “his group” and had a “committee meeting”, he didn’t do that. Instead he chose to go to his house, where he had his windows opened towards Jerusalem, He knelt down and gave thanks’ what an inspiration this is for us. Child of God am not talking a fairy tale. This happened in history and when you have an audience with THE KING OF KINGS why worry about these earthly frail men? See what our Lord did when the world crucified him

When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly

Child of God…take everything to the Lord in prayer. Prayer is what keeps you safe. Its so powerful..Lets pray, pray and pray

 

3)The PROSPEROUS LIFE OF DANIEL(v 28)

We all know Daniel was put into the Lion’s den.The Lion became powerless in front of Daniel.The angel of the Lord shut the mouth of the lion.See what all the enemy tried to ruin daniel.v17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel's situation might not be changed

God is in control.He is on the throne.Let the enemy do anything,go any extent..but nothing shall harm you.Hallelujah…The chapter ends with Daniel prospering.Rulers were born and dead,but Daniel prospered.

 

Let me not go further,may the Spirit do His Holy work.May He stir your hearts for praying.May our public life be clean,our prayer life consistent and our prosperity be continual.

 

Lets pray.

Heavenly father, I come to thy throne. Do the work for which thy Holy word was sent to us this  moment. if any one is facing Office politics or workplace worries, I pray that they may pray and take victory. We do not want to form groups and take men into our fold.We cry out to you O God. God of Daniel, move for us. We pray that we will keep our public life worthy of your calling, a consistent prayer life and no matter what,let thy children prosper.Grant us peace and favor. We resist everything that the devil is trying to do. Give us clean thoughts.help us to make our bodies clean and holy for thy Holy Ghost to dwell within.Bless us parents,loved ones,friends.We cry for souls and we ask you that you may use us as effective witnesses.We praise your Holy name

This we pray knowing that our prayers are heard and answered when we ask in Jesus’s mighty name

Amen
