The Boys and Their Mission
In Daniel Chapter 3: 9-22 Three Boys are on a mission for God!
Have you ever been on a mission, to accomplish a goal that would or could be very costly but bring tremendous results to the lives of others?
Some years ago, while pastoring a church in central Florida I had to make a stand for godliness. I was told that several families were coming to church to do me harm because I refused to turn the church over to them.
Well, I waited and prayed and around 10:39 am. A woman drove up in her car. I waited patiently and prayerfully for her to meet me. Soon, there she was standing in front of me with anger in her eyes. I said to myself, “Well Lord this is it, I trust you to protect me and my family, In Jesus name!”
Standing before me in the entrance of the sanctuary I said to her, “Come and worship!”
In a horrified voice the lady said to me, “I cannot come in something is blocking the doorway, don’t you see Him!”
I replied.” No!” “Well, he is there and I cannot come in!” With that she left.
.
In these passages, three courageous men said to the world and to the leader of the government, “No, we will not serve you!”
Verses, 16-18 “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, answered and said to the king O Nebuchadnezzar we are not careful to answer thee in this matter,
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning firery furnace,and He will deliver us out of thine hand ,O King.
18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O King we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.”
Today the world and the government want us to worship them! They want to us to accept the secular humanistic theology, which is built on what is good for me and society; it rejects the supernatural and religious dogma. This is done by developing a selfish attitude like, me, me and I.It's called Deism an old religion.
These are manifested in gods of homosexuality, euthanasia, abortion, greed, lust, all forms of sexual immorality, money, power and fame!
Soon they will come and say," That we are too old, or sickly to get treatment and medicine, because it’s too costly to the government!
What can we do? I believe like these young men, we need to stand and say No! We will not serve you, or your gods, we only serve” The Lord Thy God!”
We will face persecutions, jail, ridicules, smears and death but I rather be in the presence of God then compromise to them! God will deliver us from evil!
Dear friends, we are on a mission like these boys, to live and proclaim the Word of God. No matter what the world wants us to do by accommodating them and no matter what hardships will come, God will make a way! He will provide for you.
WE must preach and stand up for Jesus and see His marvelous protection in our lives and watch the results that will make profound effects on the lives of others.
Love,
Eddie
