KNOW THY GOD

 KNOW THY GOD

TEXT: Daniel 3:1-30

Can we really say that we know God. We can know a person by how much time we spend with them. How often we spend with God determines how much we know Him.

The story of shadrach, Meshach and Abednego depicts the story of people who really know their God. When king Nebuchadnezzar commanded his people to bow to the golden stature that was erected. Every one of them bowed except these three men. The manner they replied struck me,  'they said o Nebudchadnezzar we are nor careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace and he will deliver us out of thine hand, o king but if not be it known unto thee, o king that we will not serve thy gods nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up'

These are men that believe and trust in God and God showed up for them. Not a single hair was lost. The interesting part is that they were promoted by the king and an order was proclaimed that the God of these men must be reverenced.

In our generation today we may not have a golden stature that we are authorized to bow to. There are other things that serve as replacement like our businesses, jobs, relationship, possession.

Anything that is placed above our relationship with God is a golden stature.

We are often faced with temptation and obstacles but how often can we reply the way these men did. No matter the obstacles and circumstances we are plagued with. God will never leave you, he will pass through every situation with you. At the end you will be prompted and placed on a pedestal. Know thy God because it is only Him that can keep you on track.


STAY BLESSED.

Speak Blessing Over Your Family

Psalm 5:12 For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield. What do you believe and say to your loved ones every day? For orthodox Jews, on Friday evenings in their homes, the father lays his hands on his children and pronounces God’s blessings over them. No wonder Jewish children grow up to be winners in the fight of life! They become some of the world’s greatest inventors, bankers, musicians and entertainers. Although a minority race, the Jews have produced the most number of Nobel Prize winners. I believe that it is because they bless their children in the same way the patriarchs of the Old Testament did. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob released God’s blessings upon their children by laying hands on them and speaking forth the blessings. (Genesis 27:27–29, 38–40; 48:14–16) In the New Testament, the apostles pronounced blessings over the churches they were preaching to. To the church in Philippi, Paul declare

4 More Ways to Receive a Fresh Anointing In addition to spending personal time with God, here are 4 more things to consider as you seek a fresh anointing from God for your life and ministry: 1. A Fresh Encounter with God Through His Word ‘And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.’ (2 Cor 3:18) The Greek word translated ‘contemplate’ in this verse, means to look into a mirror. [3] In context, Paul is saying that we don’t have a blinded understanding—we have the fullness of the Gospel that reveals Jesus. It is on God’s heart that you encounter Him in the Bible, catching a fresh revelation of Who He is and see mirrored there who you are in the process of becoming. When you do, you experience transformation, you encounter God and you receive a fresh touch from Him. 2 . Make Room for More ‘In a large house there are articles not only of gol
