Text: Daniel 1:5 (KJV)

And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.

Have you ever noticed that there is an appointment that one gets that takes them to the palace in a triumphant way? This palace is a place of noiseless breakthrough, where your efforts are not needed. In this place, life is beautiful and it has every good thing available. According to our text, we can see that this appointment qualified them for promotion packages, but they had to choose between their faith or following the king’s pattern of things. The best part is that we are qualified by Christ, so our labours are not needed.

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 should be careful with certain offers of appointment because it might make us compromise our choices, values and our associations which in turn would affect our faith, but in the case of Daniel, he decided not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, which was a good decision. Daniel was so conscious because he did not want to get contaminated and deny his belief. He declared that he wanted to be exempted and sought for permission not to eat the king's meal. This decision made them to be separated and equipped with the unique ability to stand out at the end of the three years. May God single us out for honour in Jesus name.
