“THE RESULT OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR’S VISION”

Post date: Sep 17, 2019 1:48:55 AM

Before that day, on that day, and after that day, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did not have a vision, dream, or prophecy about what God will do when they refuse to obey and worship the golden image of king Nebuchadnezzar, all they knew was the Almighty God, the word of God, and the promises of God and all they did was trust that God, trust that word and subject their hearts and bodies to depend on Him and His words alone. Did you know there are numerous benefits when we trust our lives and situations in the hands of the Almighty God according to His words? “If you remain, abide in me and follow my teachings, my words abide and remain in you, you can ask anything you want, and it will be given to you. You should produce much fruit and show that you are or become my followers which brings glory to my Father. I loved you as the Father loved me. Now remain in my love. I have obeyed and kept my Father’s commands, and I remain and abide in His love. In the same way, if you obey and keep my commands, you will remain and abide in my love. I have told you these things so that you can have the same joy I have and so that your joy will be the fullest possible joy and be complete.” John 15:7-11. When we trust the Almighty God, He will defend us, when we depend on Him, He will definitely protect us, when we believe His words and follow them diligently despite the fears and threats, the word will defend and will deliver us from all adversities and activities of Satan.

On that day the onlookers did not see a vision, they came out only to watch the demise of the three Hebrew brothers in the furnace of fire, and in their presence, God opened the eyes of king Nebuchadnezzar and gave him an open vision and he reacted and informed the people standing and watching immediately. “Then King Nebuchadnezzar was so surprised that he jumped to his feet in haste and asked the men who advised him, didn’t we tie up only three men and throw them into the fire? They answered, yes O king. The king said look, I see four men walking around in the fire. They are not tied up, and they are not burned or hurt. The fourth man looks like a son of the gods. Then Nebuchadnezzar went to the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego come out, servants of the Most High God, come here. So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out of the fire. When they came out, the governors, assistant governors, captains of the soldiers, and royal advisers crowded around them and saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies. Their hair was not burned, their robes were not burned, and they didn’t even smell like smoke. Then Nebuchadnezzar said, praise the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Their God has sent his angel and saved his servants from the fire. These three men trusted their God and refused to obey my command. They were willing to die rather than serve or worship any god other than their own God. So I now give this command: Anyone from any nation or language who says anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego will be torn apart and have his house turned into a pile of stones. No other god can save his people like this. Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the area of Babylon.” Daniel 3:24-30.

His reaction was spontaneous, that of fear, that of wonders and amazement of what he never in his best imagination thought could happen, what he never believed will ever happen and in that reaction, king Nebuchadnezzar spoke out openly to honor and acknowledge the Almighty God that Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego believed, worshiped, followed, and trusted; he spoke out to recognize the forth men with them in the fire he had made to destroy them which was Christ Jesus, and he spoke out to warn any man who will speak against the God these three men worshiped. After his reaction. Nebuchadnezzar promoted these three men and gave them higher responsibilities. In that situation you fine yourself, God will defend you, the perpetrators of your suffering will see what God will do in you and they will bow to your God. Prayer Request Click here
