Daniel

Daniel is one of my favorite characters in the bible and I will be sharing something interesting about him today.
Something about his life in Babylon that I think, at some point or the other, we all find ourselves there. So often, we tend to desire a change in our physical state when heaven desires a change of our inward state.

Israel, God's favorite, wyas taken into captivity. Daniel and 3 other Kingdom crazy guys were a part of them and  their decision not to eat the kings meal was an epic one.

These Hebrew young men had begun to do alot of exploits in the land of Babylon.  As at chapter 6,they had
1-Grown to be chubbier and freshly looking than those who chose to eat the kings meal
2-They had prayed in agreement not just to know but interpret the Kings dream
3- Daniel had been promoted into been a leader together with his friends
4- They had proved beyond a doubt to the King Nebuchadnezzar that God in heaven was God above all.
And much more things.
It's interesting that even at this point, nothing was mentioned about Daniel and his friends praying for them to come out of captivity.  He seemed to understand that his location did or does not stop exploits.
We can get so quick to pray ourselves out of a place that God may be intending to build us and showcase his supremacy to the world.

Just incase you have been exhausting yourself over your situation, i put it to you to pause and begin finding out what it is you are there for.  Find out how you could glean from that situation. Prayer; maybe pray about something else but that situation thats not pleasant. You can never go wrong with thanksgiving.  You can ask God to open your eyes, make impressions on your heart about things you could do to fluorish,regardless of the situation of things.


****if this blessed you in any way, please share it with others.

Do have a lovely week ahead.

Peace.

Faithfulness

Today I want to share something about faithfulness. Faithfulness,according to google,  is the concept of unfailingly remaining  loyal  to someone or something, and putting that loyalty into consistent practice regardless of extenuating circumstances. Literally, it is the state of being full of  faith  in the sense of steady devotion to a person, thing or concept. In my understanding, it is being consistently committed to a course or person regardless of what comes your way. I want to focus on the things that we have been called to do or the things that we find per time to do. Sometimes we can get so lackadaisical about stuff when no one is watching or when others are playing their part. Sometimes its really because we don’t have enough drive to do what we really want to do. Sometimes, factors beyond our control can be the cause. Sometimes its because we have not exactly decided to take up responsibility by ourselves. Sometimes we don’t have knowledge ...

My Beloved

If you would let me walk through the corners of your heart   I will take the thorns away with anesthesia enough to take you through I will shine my light in the path for your eyes to see and your feet to walk I will wrap you round in the warmth of my embrace From the cold that gives you frost bite in the feet and a chest pain even on a warm day I know you let some love in the left you broken And now it’s difficult to catch the pieces that remain because your strength is gone I see it all in your eyes, Even though you try to make it seem like you have it all together You have been bought with a prize I took all the brakes in my heart to see you whole I got striped and left in the cold so you could find warmth in me (would be hid in me and stay warm) I’m not about to let you go through all that trauma (again). I did it already, for you, for all So that when you pass through the rivers, you will have me around When you pass though waters, it ...

Doors Do Open

Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out?  Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on? I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through. Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there! You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke. Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with. ...
