THE CHARACTER OF DANIEL
SCRIPTURE: ‘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. – Daniel 1:8
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is no success without strategy. There is no principality without principles.
It is important to note that the secret of men is in their stories; and stories of successful men reveal the strategies behind their exploits. The fact is: there is no success without strategy. There is no principal man without principles. Daniel was a man who though in a foreign land, rose to a position of Vice President. He outlived four kings and was relevant for almost 70 years.
Now, what are the Character Secrets of Daniel?
1. Freedom from Defilement
Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself even at the threat of his life. Those who will have the Daniel kind of destiny are those who have refused to run with the crowd on the road of evil. That everybody is doing a particular thing does not make it right. No matter how long a lie is told, it can never become the truth.
2. Living Above Average.
The Bible says Daniel had an excellent spirit. He lived above board. Like Daniel, endeavour to live above average; insist on what is correct. Come to a point where you clearly stand out from the crowd.
To have the destiny of Daniel means to have a character of excellence. It means having an attitude that avoids mediocrity, a character that stands out clearly. Among the Christians in the area where you live, will you make up your mind and say, ‘If the Bible is to be written again, my name will feature in it?’
Remember this: There is no success without strategy. There is no principality without principles.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Determine to live a purified life
2. Make up your mind to stand out in anything you do.
PRAYER: O Lord, help me not to be classified with the masses. Help me to have a life that is outstanding, to be a shining star in my generation, O Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
