God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study.
Holiness Gives Deliverance And Protection To The Righteous
Saturday 5th July
TEXT: Daniel 6: 16 – 26
Key verse: 1 Corinthians 4: 20 “For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.”
Holiness gives deliverance and protection to the righteous from the schemes of men and wiles of the devil. By holiness you will be protected. Suppose Daniel was a hypocrite and only convinced this king that he was a man of God, will the prayer of the king be answered? No! God will not deliver a hypocrite. The king would have been confused. “Ah! God did not save this man despite the way he served God?” Many professing Christians confuse people and give a wrong image of God to people who are not aware of their hypocrisy and insincerity. You are not on the highway of holiness but you pretend to be and the people think really you are. When mishaps come upon you, they begin to wonder why. Why is God like that? But Daniel was sincere so the king’s prayer really came to pass.
I want you to note that word continually, not intermittently, because some of you are intermittent. You are there today, you are not there tomorrow. But Daniel continually, in sunshine and in rain. The holy life is at every circumstance. Not that oh this one is too difficult, let me lie here. No! Even to the point of death. By the way who has the key of death? Is God that has it. If he wants you to die, then die. Paul said, if I have done anything worthy of death I refuse not to die. Otherwise, the Hebrews children said, “God is able to deliver us from your hand, O king.” God delivered them from death as they continued to stand firm in righteousness and holiness.
God saved Daniel by closing up the mouths of the lions. He sent an angel take care of him. That is what the Lord will do for a holy and righteous man. It is a highway that ravenous beasts do not come to disturb the people walking on that way. The lions shall not roar there to disturb those people walking on that way because it is the way of God.
Thought for the day: Live the holy life at every circumstance.
Song for the day: Holiness is the beauty of the believers
Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 18-20
