Bible in one year: 2 Thessalonians 1-3

Memorise: We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not. 1 John 5:18

Read: Daniel 6:13-24

One of the most incredible promises God has given to His children capable of raising our expectations to high heavens is in Isaiah 49:24-25. In this passage, the Lord speaks about recovering a prey from the predator, and setting the captive free. If a hungry lion was to grab a goat, would it be possible to recover it? Ordinarily, this is impossible. But God says He can make it possible and He is keeping true to His Word. When Daniel was thrown into the den of hungry lions, who would have believed that he would come out alive? He was considered dead and buried in the stomachs of the lions but he surprisingly came back to life. Imagine Daniel sitting at a corner in that den staring at the lions and the lions staring back at him! What would be going through their minds? They might have been thinking, “We thought they gave us this big meat having starved us for so long, only to be told that we cannot eat the meat that is in our house!” As mighty and hungry as the lions were, Daniel came out of their den alive and unhurt. The truth is, if God says you are not meat for your captors, there is nothing they can do to you.

Have the enemies spiritually turned you into meat and eaten your flesh expecting you to die by the following morning? The Lord is saying, “You are not their meat and they cannot do you anything.” They have a shocker coming: the one they thought they had eaten and whose obituary they are expecting is coming out to greet them and to outlive them! You will outlive your enemies! Those who are planning your burial, you shall attend their funeral. Also, have you used your own mouth and hands to enter into a covenant with the devil making you a lawful captive? And now the devil is saying you are going nowhere, after all you came on your own volition? The good news is that you are going out free and there is nothing the devil can do to you. Run to Jesus today and accept Him as your Lord and Saviour. Thereafter, stick with Him.

Pray that henceforth anywhere believers are taken for ritualistic purposes, they will be totally inedible, unusable and their presence will set the shrine of satanic activity on fire. Pray that the Lord will send His angels to free believers in such evil camps.
