Put your Hope in God‼️Daniel Didn’t ❌ Attend the Party
By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba
WHILE GOD WANTS US TO BE HAPPY OUR HAPPINESS SHOULD NOT BE DRAWN FROM THE FLEETING PLEASURES OF SIN.
Exodus 23:2 GNT
“Do not follow the majority when they do wrong or when they give testimony that perverts justice.”
Daniel 5:1
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
Daniel 5:10-12
Now the queen, by reason of the words of the king and his lords, came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: 11There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; 12Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
DANIEL WAS AMONG THE LORDS OF BABYLON BUT HE DIDN’T ATTEND THE PARTY. THERE ARE PARTIES AND CONCERTS WHICH EVEN IF YOU HAVE AN INVITATION AND A FREE TICKET TO ATTEND YOU SHOULD NOT ATTEND BECAUSE THEY ARE DETRIMENTAL TO YOUR SPIRITUALITY.
Proverbs 23:20 NKJV
“Do not mix with winebibbers, Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;”
Isaiah 5:11-12
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! 12And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
1 Corinthians 15:33 ESV
“Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
Proverbs 1:10
My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
Jeremiah 15:16-17 NKJV
“Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O Lord God of hosts. I did not sit in the assembly of the mockers, Nor did I rejoice; I sat alone because of Your hand, For You have filled me with indignation.”
Psalm 1:1-2
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
ONLY THE GRACE OF GOD CAN WEAN US FROM THE LOVE OF WORLDY PLEASURE AND ENTERTAINMENT
Titus 2:11-14 NIV
“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.”
SONG
Earthly pleasures vainly call me, I would be like Jesus;
Nothing worldly shall enthrall me, I would be like Jesus.
Be like Jesus, this my song, In the home and in the throng; Be like Jesus, all day long! I would be like Jesus.
2
He has broken every fetter,
I would be like Jesus;
That my soul may serve Him better, I would be like Jesus.
