TOPIC: YOU MUST BE DIFFERENT
SEPTEMBER Saturday 1st
TEXT: Daniel 1:3-7
KEY VERSE: 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. Daniel 1: 8
Daniel distinguished himself in exemplary living. He attended a 3-year course at the school of the gifted that was set up by king Nebuchadnezzar. He was there with three other Hebrew boys. The school was to prepare intelligent minds for high positions in government. As meal, they were offered food from the king’s table. But this food was first sacrificed to idols before they are served and righteous Daniel knew this. Daniel stood out of the crowd of students and rejected the food. The power of his exemplary life influenced the other three Hebrew boys, who joined him to reject the food. “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.”
It was a personal decision that Daniel took, ignoring the consequences, which could be death. Daniel did not take the decision with the other Hebrew boys. It was a unilateral decision. The other three could go ahead to eat, but not Daniel. They all grew up in the same environment and had the same moral training, but Daniel was exceptional and different. That is what God is looking for in you. Daniel was a man of purpose who had heaven in focus. If you want to go to heaven, you must be different. You must not follow the crowd or the pattern of this world. We are all in Holiness Revival Movement, but not everybody you see there has heaven in focus. Majority are serious about the heaven business, but not all. Do not be distracted by them. Do not allow your spouse or friends or relatives or tradition to drag you to hell. Focus on where you are going and you will get there in Jesus name.
Thought for the day: If everybody does it, you are not everybody. You are special and different.
Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of believers, Lord I want to be Holy, Lord I want……
Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 148-150; 1 Corinthians 11:16-34. #Horemow.
