Promoted for Rebellion


I just read the book of Daniel chapters 3-4. Imagine being called by your supervisor to bow to an idol or be thrown out of office- what would you say? However, if at that moment an angel had whispered into your ear that all you had to do was stand, and that if they tried to force you the idol would shatter into pieces proving that God is higher than all powers, I’m sure you’d have been more confident with your answer. But these 3 Hebrew boys did not have this privileged knowledge.

They just knew that they were NOT going to bow to the idol; come what may. They knew God could deliver them, but they did not know HOW or even if he WOULD. Are you this loyal to God, can He use you to show His might.

This is just an example of what will happen in the endtime; people will be challenged to obey the antichrist. Will you be able to stand up and rebel against the powers ruling then when you can’t stand up to a mere mortal who’s trying to compromise your faith?

Always keep your eye on the prize as Paul would say. The prize for rebellion against the devil’s wiles is promotion. The 3 Hebrew boys were promoted for trusting God by the very same person who had been so determined to kill them (Dan 3:30). Begin today to stand up for Christ no matter what!

TWFT- A cool devotional

I have been getting a lot of spiritual nourishment from the daily devotional The Word for Today, published by the Grace So Amazing Foundation. I always look forward to getting the next tri-monthly edition and I get worried when its the last day of the month and I haven't held my own copy of TWFT. The better part of this devotional is getting copies for people. The devotional is free so one can take a lot and share out to friends.

You can also subscribe for your daily readings online so you don't miss out or forget what you read in the morning (I'm speaking to myself here). Go to their site now- gsaf and subscribe.

Having the written copy you can follow the soul food bible readings. Now we're in Leviticus, and I'm pushing through to the end of this book, probably for the first time in my life! And that's because I have a target each day and I know millions of people around the world are reading along with me. So get your copy now and get real spiritual nourishment today.

It also wont hurt you to make a teeny donation. You don't do small stuff? Okay then, go over the edge and make it a big one.
