21 Then
these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their
other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.
22 Therefore because the king's commandment was
urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men
that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.
23 And
these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the
midst of the burning fiery furnace.
24 Then
Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said
unto his counsellors, did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the
fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 He
answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire,
and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
KJV
MESSAGE
It is a
precious thing to know the God you serve. The Almighty God is mighty to save.
They that know their God shall be strong and do exploits. The three Hebrew boys
were able to stand before the King and the religious leaders of their time to
declare the sovereignty of the Almighty God because they knew Him well. From
the story in today’s Bible reading, it is evident that there are tremendous
benefits in knowing the God you serve. The knowledge of the boys delivered them
from the destruction of the King. The presence of God provided a divine seal of
approval that these were not jokers, but genuine children of God. The knowledge
of God produces strength and courage, knowing well that there is nothing that
confronts you in life that is beyond God. These boys did not serve God only
because He could save them; they served Him majorly because of who they knew
Him to be. There are many people who are only serving God as long as things are
happening in their best interests.
God does not
like enemies rejoicing over His children. Every time there is a situation that
might result in the enemy rejoicing over the children of God, He will step in
to show to the world that He is mighty to save. This is why I pity those who
mess with the anointed of the Lord. There are two people to fear in this world:
God, and the man that fears God. The moment you are a genuine child of God, all
your enemies automatically become God’s enemies. Nobody can fight God and win,
the moment God takes over the battles of your life, you can confidently go to
sleep with your two eyes closed.
Are you like
Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego? Have you made up your mind that no amount of
threat made towards you in your place of work will make you compromise your
faith? I want to congratulate you, because if you don’t bow, you are not going
to burn. Don’t ever risk your glorious destiny in God by worshipping anything
that represents Nebuchadnezzar. Your God is greater and has full control over
all kings and powers. He has the power to unseat anyone making life difficult
for you. I decree that everyone who wants you to bow to them at the detriment
of your faith in God will be removed from their positions without prior notice
in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, from today, deliver
me from those that are stronger than me in Jesus name.
