SHUT THAT LION'S MOUTH

-

Text : By faith these people......shut the mouths of lions.

King Darius called out to Daniel to know if his God has been able to deliver him from the lions. This call shows that king Darius :

1. Had a quantum belief in Daniel's God. 

2. had a question for the God of Daniel if He can truly deliver.

“O Daniel, servant of the living God, _has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you from the lions?_ ” Daniel 6:20

 *Trying times always present you the opportunity and platform to prove God's power* 

 *When you stand for God in trying times, you will realise that he is truly God of all possibilities* 

Daniel, not minding to be thrown into the den of lions refused to offer petitions to King Darius except to the God of heaven and earth. (Daniel 6:7). By this singular act of faith, Daniel was able to shut the mouth of lions in the Den. 

*Until you take a step in Faith to defend your total and uncompromising belief in God, you will not experience God's intervention.* 

Daniel replied the king as follow:

 _My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me....._ .(Daniel 6:22)

God sent His Angel to shut the mouths of the lions, simply because Daniel had the Faith to believe in Him for such. Hence, you can safely say that by Faith Daniel shut the mouth of lions. This is because of his unwavering Faith in God. There wouldn't have been such record of great exploit if Daniel had succumbed to the evil plot of the then presidents and princes.(Dan.6:3~8). 

*God will always show up on behalf of those who RISK their ALL for Him. Though RISKING it ALL for God is no RISK at all.* 

Are you feeling like giving up to the temptation?

Are you feeling like chickening in and throwing in the towel,?

Are you being overwhelmed during your trying moments?

I want to assure you that God's grace is much more available to uphold you and go shut the mouths of every roaring lions in your life.

As you stand for God today, you can be rest assured that God will also come true for you, just as He did for Daniel.

Bible Reading : Daniel 6:1-28.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
