Daniel never bowed, that is why we will never bow. There was a conspiracy of hell against Daniel. A nonsense bill was signed that no one should pray to any God except to the king for certain number of days.
“Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s decree … Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day … Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee.”Daniel 6:10-28, KJV
You are not bound to obey any decree that is not in sync with the word of God.
Pray –
- Every conspiracy of darkness, every conspiracy from the pit of hell, every conspiracy from the covens of darkness and from evil minded personalities shall not prosper against me. They shall come to nought in the name of Jesus.
- The Lord who delivered Daniel will always keep us above. We shall be above only, never beneath in Jesus name.
“So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.”Daniel 6:28, KJV
God delivered Daniel. He sent an angel to shut the mouth of the lions. God is a wonderful deliverer. If God cannot deliver you, nobody can. You have to trust him enough. A gentile king realized that the almighty God has the ability to deliver his own. God always honours your faith and your commitment. He honours your worship.
Worship is ‘worthship’ – placement of value. That is why you must not allow anyone to devalue what God is doing in your life. Anyone who tries to devalue what God is doing in your life is your worst enemy. He is trying to make your life irrelevant. It is about placement of value. Faith is also placement of value. If you understand the nexus between faith, value and worship, then you will understand why the devil likes it and why money is used to pervert. Money is a store of value and a measure of it. It is therefore very easy to pervert worship through money. A Latin proverb says if you accept a gift, you sell your liberty. You must therefore be careful of what you accept. Don’t accept anything that will put you in bondage.
Pray –
- Father, make it impossible for me to accept anything that will put me in bondage in the powerful name of Jesus.
