OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY SUNDAY SERVICE ON 6/8/2014 IS: THE PROMISES OF GOD THAT VALIDATES YOUR SAFETY:

OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY SUNDAY SERVICE ON 6/8/2014 IS: SUBJECT: THE FULFILLMENTS OF GODS PROMISES TOPIC: PROMISES OF GOD THAT VALIDATES YOUR SAFETY DATE: SUNDAY JUNE 8, 2014 READING SCRIPTURES: DANIEL 6:1-16 THE PROMISES OF GOD THAT VALIDATES YOUR SAFETY: 1. When the glory of fulfilment of Gods promises is upon your life, you will find favour in the sight of Kings and Queens that rule the land, but the wisdom of God for leadership upon your life to lead will attract jealousy among your pears and subordinates, to the extent that they will do everything to bring you down but will not succeed. See verses 1-5 2. Let us use Daniel as a case study in this teaching who excelled in all that he lay his hands to do, but his colleagues could not handle the laws of the mighty God he serves who gives him power to be fulfilled in whatsoever he sets his hands to do, and for that reason connived together to make a decree through the King who loved Daniel so much to kill him without the king knowing the purpose of the decree. See verses 6-9. 3. I want to use this medium today to assure you that the purpose of God for your life and the fulfilment of his promises cannot be stopped by household enemies or Samballat, Tobias, Horonites or the Arabians. If God say yes for what ever he has called you to do, no amount of conspiracies, evil machinations can stop Gods will for your life. The enemies did everything to stop Daniel from praying to his God, but failed because he did not stop praying, knowing fully well that his strength is in his prayers. Do you stop praying because the law say so? Do you stop coming to church because the devil wants you to stop? Rise up on your feet today and take a stand for God. See verses 10-13. 4. The enemy Satan and its spirits and human agents will go to any length to stop you from worshipping God through their evil strategies, but only you can stop yourself. Daniels colleagues went as far as spying on him to see if he still prays after the decree they crooked the King to promulgate for no one to pray in the name of anything except the King. When it becomes clear to them that Daniel still prays, they reported him to the King Dairus for violating the decree and the law of the land whose penalty is death. But did it stop the fulfilment of Gods promises for his life? The answer is “no”. See verse 14. 5. When the King heard that Daniel has violated the law, he was distressed because he loves him for his dedication and commitment to God and humanity but his hands was tied because he cannot reverse the decree according to the law of the Land. When the elders of the land came to remind the King of the consequences, He said to Daniel May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” from the Lions dens. Where do you stand today? Are you for God no matter what to be fulfilled or humans? I challenge you to put your trust in God for the fulfilment of his promises for your life. See verses 15-16. 6. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing for Gods promises that fulfils your security needs, safety and validates Gods power in times of satanic manipulations by household enemies, and to walk in the fulfilment of Gods promises, so that nothing will be impossible for you and your family till eternity in Jesus name Amen. Read below: Daniel 6:1-16 New International Version (NIV) Daniel in the Den of Lions 6 It pleased Darius to appoint 120 satraps to rule throughout the kingdom, 2 with three administrators over them, one of whom was Daniel. The satraps were made accountable to them so that the king might not suffer loss. 3 Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom. 4 At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so. They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent. 5 Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.” 6 So these administrators and satraps went as a group to the king and said: “May King Darius live forever! 7 The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or human being during the next thirty days, except to you, Your Majesty, shall be thrown into the lions’ den. 8 Now, Your Majesty, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.” 9 So King Darius put the decree in writing. 10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. 11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. 12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human being except to you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into the lions’ den?” The king answered, “The decree stands—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.” 13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.” 14 When the king heard this, he was greatly distressed; he was determined to rescue Daniel and made every effort until sundown to save him. 15 Then the men went as a group to King Darius and said to him, “Remember, Your Majesty, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.” 16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
