KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR
I have been studying the Book of Daniel for some days now.
I was reflecting on the third chapter of the book when the Holy Spirit pointed something out to me last night.
In verses 28 & 29, we read,
Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way.”
WOW!...
After reading this, I was glad that Nebuchadnezzar had come to a knowledge of the power of God.
Then I thought to myself, 'If that were the case, why did he still turn into an animal?'
The Holy Spirit ministered to me that there is so much in God that He is yet to reveal to man.
We must not be satisfied with what we know or think we know: for it is not enough!
Why?
Look at king Nebuchadnezzar: after the incident involving Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, he exclaimed that no God on Earth could deliver the way the three had been delivered.
Yet still, his own heart toward God wasn't entirely taken by God and pride still lingered in his heart.
In spite of the many visions and the wonders Our God had showed him, he didn't open himself up for more revelations on the nature of Our God. He had no fellowship with God.
US...
It is sad to note that some of us are like king Nebuchadnezzar.
Many of us have heard about God and have even been privileged to see Him at work.
We have seen visions, prophesied, worked wonders in His name and have also read about Him in His Word.
My questions to us all,
'Do we have a personal relationship with God?'
'Do we believe that the purpose of the death of Jesus Christ was not only for the cleansing of our sins but also to bridge the gap of fellowship that was broken by sin?'
Today, our task is simple. Nonetheless, it will guarantee us a place in Heaven some day.
All you need is a simple prayer of faith.
Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and help you have a personal relationship with Our Father in Heaven.
Ask Him to increase your Faith and strengthen your belief in His Son Jesus Christ and the reason for His death on the cross.
Trust me...God is Faithful.
He will grant you your request.
God bless us all!
It's still SHARING LIFE.
Let's start sharing...
