THEN THE KING PROMOTED THEM

The Almighty God is still living and able to do all that He had promised and written in the scriptures; He is still willing and capable of doing all of His will in the lives of all His children; He is still as strong as He was in time past; He is still doing wonders today as He did in times past; He is still rescuing His children from the hands of the wicked; He is still lifting them off the valley afflictions set by their enemies; He is delivering them from all of the condemnation of the devil; God is still working in His ways and in His time for your good; He is still delivering from the wickedness of the enemies fire due to false accusations, wrong imprisonment, wrong impositions, wrongful delays and unjust denials, undue provocations to act otherwise against the truth; God is still defending and fighting injustices against His children, He is still delivering them from wrongful terminations and undue or prolonged loneliness that causes anger, bitterness and self-rejection; He is still acting on their behave in times of intimidation, abuse, shame, self-guilt, deception, rejection, oppression and depression. The Almighty God will never forsake those who absolutely trust in Him; those who truly rely on Him for their safety and success; those who put all they have in His hands for care; those who absolutely surrender their thoughts, their trust and all that will ever be theirs in His care.

In every situation that any one of us will ever encounter in life as believers in Jesus Christ, God’s words for us will always reign supreme and come out as true despite the actions, thoughts, and the desires of the wicked one against us; His divine purpose for us will stands out and will be obeyed even by the wicked when we submit our own will and purpose to Him. In the divine book of records, God wants to see you celebrated and rejoicing while the devil wants to see you mourning, God wants you healed while the devil wants you to remain sick; God wants you married and enjoy your marriage, while the devil wants you to remain single or weep in your marriage; God wants you celebrated while the devil wants you humiliated; God wants you to advance, while the devil wants you to retrogress; God want all the good things in life for you, the devil wants you frustrated, lonely, humiliated, always in need, always angry and never satisfy; the devil wants you to always feel someone is out there cheating on you, taking advantage on you and wants you to be suspicious of everyone one and everything. The devil wants you to always stay under siege and never to be free in any way, but despite all that the devil will ever do, God had decreed your freedom, your celebration, your promotion, and it will surely come to pass as He had decreed.

The promotion of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not come because the king wanted to promote them on his own; actually, the king wanted to see them consumed by the fire, destroyed by the flames, and taken out of his sight forever; but the Almighty God of these three men was quite ready, handy and bigger than the thoughts, the plans, and the strong men of the king. The king only promoted them because their God stood up for them in their time of utmost test and cruel life trial and temptation. Your promotion may be delayed or denied by men, but the God you serve will not fold His hands and watched you destroyed by the powers of darkness and the wicked thoughts and imaginations of the wicked against you. Even in that same difficult, painful, shameful and humiliating situation that had refused to leave you for years, your God is still alive and willing to stand up with and for you even when people refuses to believe and follow you.

Did you think God will leave you at your own time of trial, test and temptation? He did not in any way leave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego despite king Nebuchadnezzar being furious and his face becoming distorted with rage. Rather, God showed up and the king was compelled by divine powers to promote them. “Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the province of Babylon.” Daniel 2:19-30.
