GOD IS NEVER LATE – KEEP YOUR FAITH (1)

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego answered, your Majesty, we will not try to defend ourselves. If the God whom we serve is able to save us from the blazing furnace and from your power, then he will. But even if he doesn't, Your Majesty maybe sure that we will not worship your god, and we will not bow down to the gold statue that you have set up.” Daniel 3:16-18

When you come to truly believe and follow Jesus Christ, when you absolutely trust Him and give your whole life to depend on Him, several things will begin to happen, things you like and things you do not like; things that make you happy and things that will make you angry and sad; things you strongly desire and things you do never desire; things that will bring glory to God and things that will not glorify God; things that others do not see in their lives, business, and home will start in your life, business and home; things you will gladly want to talk about and things that you will be ashamed to talk about. Satan will want to make your life his dumping ground for all his evil plans, he will unleash his anger, his wickedness, and his shame on you with the three intent of stealing what you already have, stealing what gives you comfort and joy, taking away your peace and everything that give you peace and joy; he will desire to get you destroyed or seek to destroy things in your life and he will want to kill you, kill your dreams, kill your prayer life, kill your faith in Christ, kill God’s words in you, kill whatever is associated with your joy, happiness, and peace, and keep you in doubt of your faith, in doubt of the presence of God in your life, in doubt of your salvation, in doubt of your faithfulness to His words and ways, and render you confused.

But despite what Satan may do to you directly or indirectly, say to you openly, secretly, in the day or in the night, when you are asleep or awake, through friends, associates, or acquaintances, despite his open actions and secrets behind the scene actions, God is with you, God can reverse his acts, God can lift you up again, God can give you all that you have lost and even more, God will prove Himself in you and through and will thereafter take all the glory in your life and in your situations. Despite what Satan may do to you, the visitation of the Almighty God is never late, it is always on time, always in the right place, and always before the right audience that will see you and honor Him in your life; His promises are never canceled or taken away because of the adversities, pains or shame; despite delays and the frustrations, despite the anger and the watchers of evil, God will confirm His words, He will fulfill His promises and He will enable you to praise His name before others.

Don’t give up your faith in Him, don’t stop praying, don’t stop trusting Him, don’t stop looking up to Him for help, and don’t stop believing in your salvation. It was a shameful thing for Job to tell people what happened to him, but when God restored him and everything he had lost, I am convinced Job was bold, courageous, and glad to tell of what Satan did to him and what God had done to him. I pray that you will soon see the difference in your life between what Satan had done and what God had done, is doing, will do again. The day of your joyful testimony is coming.  “Suddenly Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement. He asked his officials, didn't we tie up three men and throw them into the blazing furnace? They answered, yes, we did, your Majesty. Then why do I see four men walking around in the fire? he asked. They are not tied up, and they show no sign of being hurt, and the fourth one looks like an angel. The three men are released and promoted. So Nebuchadnezzar went up to the door of the blazing furnace and called out Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, servants of the Supreme God, come out. And they came out at once. All the princes, governors, lieutenant governors, and other officials of the king gathered to look at the three men, who had not been harmed by the fire. Their hair was not singed, their clothes were not burned, and there was no smell of smoke on them.” Daniel 3:24-27. For prayers, Click here
