ASK GOD FOR THE ANSWER

For taking your time to study remain blessed.

TUESDAY 21 SEPTEMBER 
ASK GOD FOR THE ANSWER
TEXT:  Daniel 2:1-12

Key verse:   Psalm 146:5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose 
hope is in the LORD his God.

King Nebuchadnezzar had dreamt a dream and the dream troubled him. But when he woke up, he had forgotten the dream he dreamt. But as he sensed it, the dream had a great meaning. So, he did not only want to remember the dream, but he also wanted its interpretation. Since it lied beyond him, he wanted manifestation of power; he wanted people operating at higher spiritual levels and specialized in such things to do it for him. He wanted people who could consult with familiar spirits to help him remember the dream and interpret it. So, he called the magicians, the soothsayers, the wise men and the astrologers whose duty it was to carry out such assignment for him. When he told them the assignment, they told him it could not be done. They made him realize that it was his responsibility to tell them the dream after which they would be able to interpret it. In anger, the king released a decree saying that if they would not tell him the dream and give the interpretation, all of them would be killed and their houses made a dunghill. 

The people complained that no king has ever done this before, but the king would not back down. He put the decree into effect and his guards began to kill the magicians. Since Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were also part of wise men, the guards also looked for them to be killed. When I was reading verse one of this chapter, the Lord ministered to my heart and I was thrilled.  I had the Lord say, “the king should have asked me for the answer, not any wise man. Let man know that I occupy the realm of the impossibility. I am God. Is there anything too hard for me? When Nebuchadnezzar came across this difficulty, he should have turned to me.” Ask God for the answer! This is God's instruction and advice to you. Children of God, it is an instruction to you to always ask Him for answers in your difficult times and situations. Not to do so is to fail. Not to do so is even to sin because you have not obeyed divine instruction. The best you can do at the time of difficulty is to ask God for the answer.

Thought for the day: God is waiting for your prayer to answer you're troubled 
situation.
Song for the day: Bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears, God is bigger…. 
Bible reading for the day: Song of Solomon 1-3; 2 Corinthians 12

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
