Fearless in the fiery furnace

 

Text: Daniel 3:14 (KJV)

Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?

In life, there is a different intensity of the fire that can threaten our faith. Sometimes, we walk into the furnace ourselves and sometimes we are pushed into it by evil men.. But the main question is what are you doing in that furnace that you are in? Are you just crying and saying there is no hope, or you are taking advantage of that situation by making a name for our God in that challenge? The three Hebrew boys from our text made good use of that situation they were in. They made a huge impact in their fearless faith in God with so much confidence and declaration – “we are not careful to answer thee in this matter”. They were resolute even in the blazing fire. They were not moved by the situation instead, they held on their faith in God and allowed Him to show up.

Friends, the truth is God is always on our side at the right time. We just need to develop an unwavering confidence at that sudden moment to response in that situation, so as to turn it into a miracle. The men in our text served God in that furnace and God showed up to delivered them. The amazing part is that He even showed up physically to show His reliability. Daniel 3:25- He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.  Beloved, the good news is that God is a very present help in that trouble.  The greatest testimony is that these Hebrew boys came out of the furnace unharmed, their bodies the fire had no power even got to the point that there was no smell of fire on them. Daniel 3:27   WOW, the same testimony is coming your way this season in Jesus name. All these boys did was to have faith in their God, so I urge you to do the same and you will see that furnace turn to you as a testimony in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Father, thank you for the presence of the fourth man in my situation that is able to rescue me in Jesus name.

Action Quote: Remember, there is a testimony in every storm. Have faith in God.
