Priority Focus

Dan.6: 26 “I decree that everyone throughout my kingdom should tremble with fear before the God of Daniel. For he is the living God, and he will endure forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed, and his rule will never end.”

 

Our discourse for today flows from where we concluded yesterday, which is the responsibility of headship. Men, do not let this become a cause of condemnation to you or become a weight on your shoulders. Instead, just Read the rest of this entry →

Take Root

Philip.1:20 “For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ… And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.”

 

Let us remember our commitment from yesterday and follow through on our commitment to join a Life Group, resume a Life Group, encourage and Read the rest of this entry →

In The Details

Dan.3:27 “Then the high officers, officials, governors, and advisers crowded around them and saw that the fire had not touched them. Not a hair on their heads was singed, and their clothing was not scorched. They didn’t even smell of smoke!”

The Bible included such detailed description of the men after they emerged from the fire to show us that God is the total deliverer. In Daniel 3:1-7 [please read], Nebuchadnezzar requiring his leadership to bow down Read the rest of this entry →

How It Works

Dan.3: 25 “Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!”

Ambassadors of God’s Kingdom know that honour is given to whom honour is due and worship is given to Whom worship is due. God alone, the Maker of the heavens and the earth, is worthy of the worship of His people. If like Read the rest of this entry →

The Call

Dan.3:17 “If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 18 But even if he doesn’t, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”

God’s Favourite House is not a Baptist church, or an Anglican church, or a Catholic church, or even a Pentecostal church. God’s Favourite House is a church of Jesus Christ. We believe in baptism, we believe in the order of Read the rest of this entry →

Ambassador

1 Cor.15:19 (AMPC) “If we who are [abiding] in Christ have hope only in this life and that is all, then we are of all people most miserable and to be pitied.”

Christianity is not a fun fair. We are grateful to be on God’s side, and that our lives are not limited to this world alone. We have a hope of eternal life, everlasting life with God. Our decisions cannot be based on this world Read the rest of this entry →

Needing Alignment?

Jer.23:24 “Can anyone hide from me in a secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?” says the Lord.

Daniel and his friends were far from home and could have rationalized any behavior by telling themselves, “No one will know”. So far from the temple in Jerusalem, they could have reasoned, “God will not see”. What can we Read the rest of this entry →

Master’s Plan

Mark 14:36 “Abba, Father,” he cried out, “everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”

Does life always turn out good for people that remain faithful to God? In this story of Daniel and his friends, it turned out good. Some people would say, what about the disciples of Jesus? Even though they died horrible Read the rest of this entry →

God Aligned

Luke 16:8 “…And it is true that the children of this world are more shrewd in dealing with the world around them than are the children of the light.”

The painful reality of Daniel’s time and ours is that a lot of Christians are not willing to pay the price required for their great destiny. I have had Read the rest of this entry →

Beware!

John 8:32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

Part of knowing who you are is knowing what you stand for and knowing what you believe. A lot of us need to stop and think about what we actually believe and stand for. Growing up, it was drilled into us to always Read the rest of this entry →
