Topic: THE DOINGS OF FAITH
Text. : Daniel 3: 1-30
Daniel 3:16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
Daniel 3:17 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 3:18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Ordinary men in bible days and in our contemporary time access great things through faith, they have recorded outstanding testimonies, one of which is the account in our passage today. Faith is holding on to God come what may, it is just God and God alone, anything outside God is out of it. It means I cannot do anything contrary to the will of in pursuit of my dreams.
I have long understood that; if God does not have solution to my problem then, no one will. For instance; if I have a problem and I have prayed over it time and again, and it have not been solved, I rather die with it than go to herbalist, any source outside God is not an option. This was the resolution of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, they were ready to die instead bowing to an idol.
You see friends, at that point they moved God to action, God can’t just fold His arms at that kind of resolution. I want to share a mystery in this passage with you; God has many ways He could have saved them, but He chose the best one, how do I know? Look at this :
Daniel 3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, 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.
Daniel 3:25 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.
God could have sent angels , or rain to stop the fire but He sent Jesus. Jesus was not due to come the earth then, but I see God saying ‘ Jesus there is an urgent assignment to carry out now, get into the fire with these guys and ensure they are not hurt ‘
A man with desperate faith receives desperate attention that results into outstanding testimony. Trusting God with all your heart guarantees your testimony, never you consider alternative outside God. God cannot be too late, keep praying you are close to your promise land. God bless you.
PRAYER.
* It is another day to wait upon the Lord, endeavor to be part of it.
* Apply faith this day putting your requests before Him.
