Put your Hope in God‼️Daniel, facing the Executor’s axe 🪓 

By Pastor and Mrs Chifamba

WHEN YOU FACE HARD AND FEARFUL TIMES IN LIFE DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED NOR DEPRESSED, PUT YOUR HOPE IN GOD.

Psalm 42:5

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance. 

DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS ARE AMONG THE WISEMEN OF BABYLON. THE KING HAS HAD A DREAM AND HE CALLS THE WISEMEN TO INTERPRET IT. DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS ARE NOT INVITED HOWEVER WHEN A DEATH DECREE IS ISSUED BECAUSE THE WISEMEN HAVE FAILED TO TELL THE KING’S THE DREAM THEY ARE SOUGHT. LIFE AT TIMES ONLY INVITES YOU FOR SOUR GRAPES BUT DO NOT WORRY JUST PUT YOUR HOPE IN GOD.

Daniel 2:13-16

And the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they sought Daniel and his fellows to be slain. 14¶Then Daniel answered with counsel and wisdom to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, which was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon: 15He answered and said to Arioch the king's captain, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel. 16Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, and that he would shew the king the interpretation. 

FROM THE KING’S PRESENCE DANIEL WENT TO PRAY WITH HIS FRIENDS. HAPPY ARE THEY THAT HAVE FRIENDS THEY CAN PRAY WITH 🙏 WHEN THINGS ARE HARD PRAY YOUR WAY OUT. PUT YOUR HOPE IN GOD

Daniel 2:17-19

Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions: 18That they would desire mercies of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. 19¶Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 

Psalm 34:3-6

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. 4I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. 5They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. 

WHEN GOD HAS ANSWERED YOUR PRAYERS AND HAS SNATCHED THE EXECUTOR’S AXE FROM HIS HAND GIVE THANKS 🙏 TO GOD.

Daniel 2:20-23

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: 22He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 23I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king's matter. 

We do not pray any too much, but we are too sparing of giving thanks. If the loving-kindness of God called forth more thanksgiving and praise, we would have far more power in prayer. We would abound more and more in the love of God and have more bestowed to praise Him for. You who complain that God does not hear your prayers, change your present order and mingle praise with your petitions. When you consider His goodness and mercies you will find that He will consider your wants. – {Prayer p. 87.4}

Luke 17:12-19

WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR OTHERS HE WILL DO FOR YOU! DON’T DESPAIR JUST PUT YOUR HOPE IN GOD HE IS THE HELPER OF THE HELPLESS.

Psalm 72:12

For he shall deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.

Hebrews 13:8

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever
