Additional Verses

📖 Daniel 6:1-28; John 14:12-23; Acts 1:1-8

Many children of God are always blaming God when they are in trouble or 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. 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 promised that no evil will befall you. Everything has been given to you to use 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. Luke 10:19 says, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy, nothing will harm you.” There is no situation that cannot be changed by the power of God. Look at Daniel, 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 windows opened towards 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. Because Daniel maintained a disciplined prayer life, he was able to tune all circumstances to his favor. Just like David as well. The moment he was anointed by Samuel in 1 Samuel Chapter 16, the Spirit of the Lord came upon David in power, and was able to defeat the giant Goliath of Gath. Just like them, you can still turn all that you have been crying about for so long to your favor when you allow the Word of God and His Spirit to discipline you. Acts 1:8 says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.” 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. They became witnesses of the Lord Jesus Christ with signs and wonders to the glory of God. The same Holy Spirit gives you the authority to cause changes in your life today as long as you are obedient to His Word and commandments. Alleluia!
