DANIEL THE YOUTH THAT PURPOSED TO REMAIN HOLY

God bless you, as you take your time to study 

TOPIC: DANIEL THE YOUTH THAT PURPOSED TO REMAIN HOLY 

TEXT: Daniel 1: 1-6 

TUESDAY JULY 12

Key verse: Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Many eat and drink all manner of food without exercising caution thereby eating and drinking unto damnation. Some of this food or drinks are those sacrificed to idols and some are given to initiate people into Satanism. Some food and drinks are given to people in exchange for their souls at parties, in the neighbourhood, in the offices, in schools, celebrations. Ritualists are on a rampage today, seeking every means to make money. We should exercise care in collecting and eating food from every source that comes our way. 
Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he will 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 requested for only fruits, vegetables and water as against the polluted meals of the king. At the end of ten days, the four Hebrew children looked better than those who ate the king’s meal. God gave Daniel exceptional qualities that made him different from Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams, aside from the knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom that God gave to four of them.
When King Nebuchadnezzar threatened to kill all the wise men of Babylon, he was the one God used to appease the king and save the life of the rest of the wise men by seeking the face of God to bring out the dream and its interpretation. Daniel was also a prayer warrior always facing the location of Jerusalem to pray. He was courageous even at the threat to bow down and worship another god or be thrown into Lion’s den. He continued to serve his God and remained holy.

Thought for the day: Be thou example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Song for the day: O Lord who delivered Daniel (3x) O Lord deliver me.

Bible reading for the day:
Psalms 7-9; Acts 17:1-15

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...
