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.

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. ...

The Black Bag

Running over from the end of the class where I was sitting to my course mate,I sat on the chair next to him as I placed his school bag on my legs. Staring at the bag for a while,I said, precious Holy Spirit please teach me a lesson from this bag. It was a black leather-like bag with patches on the side(some parts of the bag peeled off). As I starred at the bag I asked my course mate-How old is this bag? He said to me,its about a year old. Its amazing how people tend to defend their actions even before you make your comment(He was already giving me reasons the bag looked that old/tattered). I discovered the bag was too good to be that tattered at less than one year. That was the lesson right there: There are people who are strong and passionate,vibrant and active,with so much beauty radiating from their inside out. But then situations in life may rise up,some beyond human control,some at the mercy of human that could make someone as good as that black leather bag become so tattered li...

Gods word as our reality

If anything would go through our spirit to our soul and then to reality,its going to pass through our mind. And if anything is going to have an impact on the spirit it would go through the mind. And so the mind is the place where a thing really is made or mared. It's where we either get an headway or remain stranded/on the same spot/can't see a way. It's the battlefield as it's often put. 2Cor.10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; This passage makes us to see that imaginations and thoughts have a way of exhausting themselves above the knowledge of God in our minds and we are the ones to do the job of making sure the word of God is the status quo of our mind...finding out what the word of God says and making it preeminence over and above any other thought. re-enforcing what the word of God says. Capturing God's idea(word) in ou...
