DARE TO BE DIFFERENT

 DANIEL 1:8


"But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself."


 We are living in generation where people don't give heed to truth but lies. A period where lies is exalter above truths,  and liars are lifted to positions of authority against men of integrity in our country and society.  Corruption has become the order of the day, to  the extent that it can be declared without shame that snake swallowed N36 million and monkey ran away with N70 million. When has become a user of money? What has never been heard of in the world is going on in our nation.

There is so much immorality now than ever before,  women have abandoned modesty to seductive display in social media. Even some Christian women are not spared in this demonic display of advertising themselves rather than advertising Jesus Christ.

Some of men are no longer focusing on their wives but strange women who cannot keep homes. As a result there a lot broken marriages today because of infidelity and inhuman decisions.  Hatred has replaced love in many homes,  and lack of commitment to make marriages work has forced sorrow into home thereby making children to become miscreants in the society.

In addition,  people have thrown value for one another into trash can,  even the love for one another has become so cold that Pastors who are supposed to be custodians of righteousness, goodness kindness, mercy and epitome of light of Christ, are now using their positions to oppress other pastors  and church workers under them. They maltreat and lie against their co-workers in the Lord for their selfish gains. The love of money have become the order of day,  whereby a little child who has just been enrolled into primary school is thinking and talking about how to make millions of Naira. You can't confide anything with your fellows without using it against you. There is no more trust for fellow Christian because of fraudsters (419) and armed robbers.

Daniel was living in time and in a Kingdom where the worship of idols is compulsion.  The meat and food was sacrificed to idols. It was natural for Daniel to compromise his faith and eat the food dedicated to idols.  but the Bible says Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat.  He decided to different from others. He choosed to live his life in right relationship and fellowship with his God. You also have a choice to make dear readers. You must be different no matter the consequences.

If others compromise their standards and faith but you should decide you own pattern of living in accordance with God's standard. Other people marriages may fail yours should not fail. Some can choose hell fire you should not to go there.

As a servant of God,  I want to tell you 'dare to be different'. Remember you have one life to live and one day you are going to give account to God. Heb. 9:27  "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:"  No matter who you are one day you going to leave this earth, whatever you have done is waiting for you.  You must get the reward of your actions here on earth.

Therefore,  repent today and receive Jesus Christ into your heart and ask for forgiveness that your sin be forgiven you so that you will not end up in the lake of fire. Rev 20:1115

"And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. note

And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire. 


The judgment of God is real and there is no way you can escape you accept the truth and be converted.  

God bless you as you make your mind to be different.
