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 portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
