God blessed you for taking your time to study.

GOD HAS ASCERTAINED THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF MEN.

TEXT: DANIEL 6: 1-23 

THURSDAY DECEMBER 22nd 

Key Verse: Ezekiel 14:14 “Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD“
Daniel was rewarded with a promotion by the king of Babylon for his faithfulness and righteousness. This did not go down well with the princess who conspired against him. Though they could not find fault with Daniel except in the matters of his God. They succeeded, and a decree was signed for nobody to worship any God for 30 days except king Darius. In verse 10 “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being opened 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”. They found Daniel praying and reported to the king. When the king discovered it was a setup against Daniel, he made effort to save him but could not. 
Daniel was cast into the den of a lion but his righteousness spoke: “the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting”. He went in haste unto the den of lions the following morning. A voice came from the den, the voice of the righteous, the voice of the holy, the voice of the one tried and found faithful, the voice of a man whose life is in the hand of God, under his everlasting arm, that voice sounded and said unto the king, “O king, live forever. My God hath sent His angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before Him, innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.” Divine protection! Righteousness delivers from death. God, Himself announced the righteousness and holiness of Daniel. Some people doubt these revelations and prophecies that we receive. ‘Can God say that somebody is righteous? They are just telling lies.’ Believe God’s report. It is scriptural. 

Thought for the day: God approves and testifies to the righteousness of men.

Song for the day: Holiness unto the Lord is our watchword and song…

Bible reading for the day: Nahum; Revelation 13

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...
