MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE, MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL, THURSDAY 13 MAY 2021

 

TOPIC FOR TODAY, THURSDAY 13: 5: 21: Lessons from the life of Daniel 2

By Dr D.K Olukoya General Overseer MFM worldwide

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2Sam 16, 2Sam 17, 2Sam 18

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Daniel 1:3-20

MEMORY VERSE: I Timothy 4:12 

 “Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.”

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: Don’t push God back to just being a part of your life. He needs to be the central part of your life that everything else revolves around.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: Any spell or enchantment that is destroying your glory shall die, in the name of Jesus.

In our last study, we examined the life of Daniel based on self-discipline and perseverance. These qualities went a long way in assisting him to achieve great success both in human government and the divine agenda.

Today’s study will focus on his relationship with God, the outcome and further lessons for us as children of God. The Bible affirms in the sixth chapter of Daniel that part of his daily routine was to kneel towards Jerusalem from his window and pray to God three times a day. Of course, this became the reason he was thrown into the lion’s den.

Everything in Daniel’s life revolved around God. Christians today can learn from this example. Many have heard the analogy of a wheel on a bike. The case for far too many Christians is that instead of being the central part that all the spokes revolve around, God is merely another spoke. He’s merely a part of our lives.

This was not the case with Daniel, nor should it be the case with us in our Christian walks today. God should be the fundamental, most important part of our lives, with everything else revolving around Him. Unfortunately it is easy for God not to be in the forefront of our minds most of the day.

Sometimes, He simply enters our thoughts every now and then when we pray before a meal or when we sit through a Bible class. This is not the way we should treat someone whose incredible grace saved us. We are supposed to love God with ALL of our hearts, souls, and minds. Don’t push God back to just being a part of your life.

As shown in the life of Daniel, He needs to be the central part of your life that everything else revolves around.

If you are ready to give your life to Christ Jesus, please pray the displayed prayer below in faith:

Lord Jesus, I am a sinner. I confess all my sin, have mercy on me, forgive me all my sin. Give me grace to go and sin no more. I invite You, come into my life. I accept You as my Lord and Personal Saviour. I believe in my heart You died and rose from the dead to save me Thank You Lord for saving me, in Jesus name Amen.
