SHUT THAT LION'S MOUTH

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

Some heroes of faith like Samson, Daniel and David literally shut the mouths of lions, put to flight every works of the devil and enforce God's kingdom within their circle of influence. (Judges 14:14, 1 Sam 17:34 & 35).

Daniel's enemy had successfully dragged him into serious problems with King Darius, and this has led to his imprisonment in the Den of lions. (Daniel 6:17).

While our Lord Jesus is the Lion of the tribe of Judah, our adversary the devil, (though not the lion) but he also roars like a lion, walking about and looking for whom to devour. You must know that your adversary is always :

1. Walking about and 

2. Looking for whom to devour. (1Peter 5:8)

You shall not be devoured in Jesus name!

Daniel was thrown into the Lion's den in order to be devoured but he silenced the mouths of the lions by Faith.

While preparing to throw Daniel into the prison, the king said to him

 “....May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you !” Dan 6:16.

After Daniel had stayed in the Den of lions for some hours, the King came to the Den and asked again:

“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

The king earlier prayed that Daniel's God whom he serves continually will deliver him from the lion's den, but this second timet, it's a question for Daniel.The king wanted to know if Daniel's God whom he serves has been able to deliver him from the Den of lion.

 *There will always be situations that will question the ingenuity of your faithfulness, service to God and the potency of His presence in your life. May you not be found wanting at such times.* 

This is the reason you must know who and what you believe in. Paul said I know whom I believed.

 "...nevertheless I am not ashamed: for *I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day (2 Timothy 1:12).* 

 *You cannot do or experience great exploit if you do not know the one whom you believe.* Daniel 11:32

We shall see tommorrow how Daniel was able to prove his God as the only true living God to King Darius and in every dominion of his kingdom.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
