“I AM SCHEDULED TO DIE, BUT GOD WILL SHOW UP” (1)

“Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life. Do not set foot on the path of the wicked or walk in the way of evildoers. Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn from it and go on your way. For they cannot rest until they do evil; they are robbed of sleep till they make someone stumble. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.” Proverbs 4:13-17. To the wicked, evil is an easy and common thing to do. They never relent until they carry out their acts, their dreams, and their desires against the righteous. They will do all that in their evil power and possible, and all they could to destroy mostly those who are determined to stay the course of true faithfulness and fellowship with Jesus Christ; those who desire to keep the focus on Godly faith, and those who have consistently refused to bow to evil demands, bow to evil worship, and bow to the demands of ungodly counselors.

King Nebuchadnezzar asked, “Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, he demanded, that you are refusing to serve my gods or to worship the gold statue I set up? I’ll give you one more chance. When the music plays if you fall down and worship the statue, all will be well. But if you refuse, you will be thrown into a flaming furnace within the hour. And what god can deliver you out of my hands then?” Daniel 3:14-15. Oh my Lord Jesus Christ let their threat fail.

Every evil schedule against you because of your focus on Christ and the truth of the scriptures God had given to us and because you have refused to bow down and follow their evil demands to give up on godliness and faithfulness will be taken away from you. Because you have refused to bow and the pressure against you is growing every day, the Almighty God will show up for you; He will show up where they have deliberately placed you, where they have purposefully abandoned you, and where they have personally prepared for your final destruction. For refusing to bow to the god of man’s imagination in worship, a fiery burning furnace was constructed, a large crowd gathered, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego was scheduled to be burnt alive in the furnace and to die in the fire. While still insisting they bow down and worship their god in the presence of everyone, these three men refused with this comforting personal assurance to themselves and to the hearing of King Nebuchadnezzar and every standing to watch them die, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not worried about what will happen to us. If we are thrown into the flaming furnace, our God is able to deliver us; and He will deliver us out of your hand, Your Majesty. But if He doesn’t, please understand, sir, that even then we will never under any circumstance serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have erected.” Daniel 3:16-18

Fueled by self-ego and lifted pride, they will seek to do whatever is within their power to deprive you of basic freedom and necessary help; they will deny you all needed assistance and will seek to destroy your focus on God and faithfulness. They will seek to make you a failure and show it publicly, they will plot to ensure that you fall and do not succeed even in the things you have been trained to do well and have been trained on despite all your efforts, prayers, fasting, and self-humility. But despite what they will do, God will not give you over to them as they would desire; He will not allow them to overcome you as they envision; He will not allow them to take pride over your life the way they wanted and He will show up to glorify His name.

For refusing to bow to their evil demands, they will threaten you with immediate dismissal from your place of work; they will threaten you with a quarry for no offense; they will call the authority on you seeking to expose wrongs you never committed; they deny you of your wage or pay, or benefit; they threaten you with a divorce; threaten to destroy your marriage, your home, your profession, your children and your finances. For refusing to bow down to them they will seek you die or remain irrelevant thereafter if they can’t kill you. But in all of their demands, in all of their evil demands, the Almighty God will show up for you. For Prayers Click here
