THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST

THEME:
Living For God: Daniel’s Example. I.
MEMORY VERSE:
“And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king’s meat.”
Daniel 1:15.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Daniel 1:8-9.
“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. Now God had brought Daniel into favour and tender love with the prince of the eunuchs.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Let’s look at Daniel’s life, in order to learn his principles on how to live life day by day. Daniel happens to be one of the most courageous and faithful men in the entire Bible.
For instance, we see in Daniel 1:4 “Children without blemish, of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king’s palace…” From the onset Daniel had made a decision to live righteous. Daniel wasn’t living in the best of conditions. He after all was in captivity. Today, fear what schools teach our wards, that somehow this will influence them to not live for God. Furthermore, in Daniel 1:8, the scripture says: “But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank…” I am telling you, when you have an encounter with God, your heart changes and it makes no difference of your environment or your schooling. Daniel had an encounter with God and he made a decision that he was going to serve God regardless of the conditions. Daniel had made a decision not to follow the crowd but God.
Finally, Daniel had a right perspective of God. The king had established a decree to feed all the palace trainees in Babylon with sumptuous meals and costly wine in order to appear plump, which he rejected. Daniel knowing full well that, God’s plan and purpose for him is better and glorious. The truth remain that, when you determine to live for God, God will back your determination with grace.
God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
In whatever situation or condition, I will always live for God in all my ways.
PRAYER POINT:
Ever living God, you are always able to save and deliver. Help me Lord, to live my life for You always in Jesus name. Amen
Yours in Christ,
