Don't be angry at the 'King' says the Lord

[KJV] Daniel 6:21 Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.

As i was reading this chapter this is what the Lord told me 'Don't be angry at the King'...

The 'king' is that person who you think could have done something that would have prevented you from going through that test, trial, challenge or tough time...

When I read the verse, I was a taken back by how Daniel addressed the same king whose decree sentenced him to the lions den...

'You're nice' I thought as I read it because my reaction would have sounded a bit more like 'you can stop pretending to care, if you cared so much why didn't you stop them from putting me in the lions den'?

Today the Lord is telling you 'Don't be angry at the King'. If I didn't want you to pass through that situation I could have stopped it, if i wanted the 'King" to help you i would've made it so; but beyond that I knew it would bring forth my glory and work for you good...

My ways may not always seem right or make sense to you but remember i said in Rom8:28 that 'everything will work together for your good and for my glory if you love me...' just as it did in Daniels case...

So love me and watch me turn everything that you've been through into good says the Lord...

Shalom!!!

Are you a child or a servant of the Most High God???

[NIV] Daniel 6:20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”

Daniel was referred to in the above scripture as a servant of the most high God.
I wanted to change the word servant to child but the Holy Spirit said 'Leave it because today God has many children but very few servants.

 He said ' there is a difference between a servant and a child.

A servant will never disobey your orders because he/she came to your house knowing the duties and role expected of him/her, and knows that disobedience or failure to adhere to those expectations could mean the loss of an opportunity to get a better life. To a servant, the penalty for disobedience is Life Changing;

A child on the other hand, comes into the world with a totally different mentality. He/she has no idea of your expectations when they come into your world. They learn it as time and years go by but a lot of times they dont conform totally to your expectations. They have the freedom to take or choose who or what they want to become. They know that there is no Life Changing penalty if they choose not to meet all of your expectations for them.

A good example is this: if you bring a servant into your house and decide to train him/her to become a medical doctor, they won't reject it and pick sociology (for example) because most often than not they realize that you have a ticket that can get them to where they desire to be....
Your child on the other hand may choose not to study medicine and in most cases you will still pay for the child's university education.

Both have the freedom to choose but  the servant decides to sacrifice it and conform to your choices in order to achieve his desires, while your child doesnt have to sacrifice to achieve...

As a child of God sometimes we take the freedom we have in Him for granted and like the child above want to do things our own way and still get His results.. 'He is full of mercy' we tell ourselves;

 As a servant of God, you are truly dead to self because you have chosen to lay down your rights and do what He says, be who He says and live life like He says...

In actual fact we are both: but our attitude towards His plan and purpose for our lives should be like that of the servant while our knowledge of Him should mirror that of a child..

Stay blessed

Know your reason for smiling else the enemy will turn your smile into tears like he almost did mine!!

I SMILE:because the wonders of God's goodness and mercy towards me and my family greatly outweigh the cushioned effects of the roars of the enemy in our lives.

Today the enemy has attempted to cause pain and sorrow in my family: but i decree that in the name of Jesus this will be the last time he uses anyone to bring sadness in my family... This is our year of jubilee....My faith in who God is stands sure..

My God is faithful, Awesome and will not give me any reason to cry this year but will fill my heart and mouth even with songs of praise.....

Why do I think so you may ask? After all my present life situations may not reflect what I believe?

My answer is simple, Because He said so and because I say so (Mark 11:23)...

Know the reason for your smile... Don't take the enmys blows sitting down... Rise up and decree, in Jesus's name, what you want to see in your family and if you are abiding in God, watch Him move to back up your decrees....

Don't wait, start decreeing NOW...

God is working everything out to give you a glorious end... Stay in Faith..

God says to tell those who are feeling fainthearted, that He saved the best for last...

Don't wear rags when you're going before a king, Queen Esther knew this well...

Obey His Commandments and you will live a victorious life here on earth

God wants you to live a victorious life while you're here on earth as well as in Heaven.. Salvation gets you the life in heaven but obedience to His word gives you victory here on earth... Be wise and God bless...
