Additional Verses

📖 Daniel 6:1-28; Acts 1:4-11

Many children of God are always blaming God when they are in trouble and when things are going wrong. When you blame God for all the bad things that are happening to you, it means that you do not know who God is, and what He has done for you. Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For l know the thoughts that l think towards you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.” God never created anything evil nor did He create you so that you may suffer, but He made all things beautiful and created you fearfully and wonderfully for a special purpose. He also gave you authority over evil and He promised that no evil shall befall you. Luke 10:19 says, “Behold, l give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Everything has been given to you, and there is no reason why you should blame God when things go wrong. Instead, it is your duty to use the power which has been given to you to change your situation. There is no situation that cannot be changed by the power of God. Look at Daniel in Daniel 6:10, when he knew that evil had been plotted against him, he did not cry or complain to God nor did he curse his enemies. The Bible actually says, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.” Daniel was conscious of the excellent Spirit of God that was in him. The same Spirit that was in Daniel is the same Spirit that you received when you became a child of God. Just imagine that even when they threw Daniel into a den of hungry and vicious lions, because of the presence of God in him, the lions lost all appetite. When Daniel maintained a disciplined prayer life, he was able to tune all circumstances to his favor. Just like him, you can still turn all that you have been crying about for so long to your favor when you allow the Word of God to discipline you. Remember that it was only when the Disciples were obedient to the Word of the LORD Jesus Christ to remain in Jerusalem praying that the power of the Holy Spirit came upon them. When the power of the Holy Spirit was upon them, they were able to witness for the Lord Jesus Christ with boldness and do the works that the Master Jesus Christ did, as John 14:12 says, “Verily, verily, l say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that l do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because l go unto my Father.” They were able to heal the sick, raise the dead, feed the poor and even to stand firm against the Jewish authorities whom they were once afraid of. Acts 4:19-20 says, “But Peter and John answered and said unto them, whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” Remember, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. What He did through the Apostles and many great men and women in the Holy Bible, He can still do the same through you. Only remain faithful and trustworthy to God, and you will be able change situations in your favor. Alleluia!

Prayer

Almighty God, thank You for giving me that power to change situations in my life. I thank You because it is the dynamic power and I bless Your name. Thank You LORD Jesus Christ, Amen.
