Greater is He

Greater is He

Those who were raised by families of idol worshipping usually had more trials in their path. Those who surrendered to idol worshipping and attempted to please men seemingly had an easier path, but in the end it will surely lead to destruction. When a choice is laid before us, that is how God can differentiate the sons of the righteous from the seeds of the wicked one.

Usually after your first step of obedience to the only living God, your adversary will heat up the burning fiery furnace 7 times more. This is the toughest moment. This is the moment doubt will attack you. You thought you serve the Most High God, how can He forsake you? Friends, do not LOST HEART yet. Be assured, God the only living God is ABLE to put down those who walk in pride. (Daniel 4:37) God will punish those who worship idols and visit their iniquities to generations. If you dare to step out in faith and lay your life entirely before God the creator, He is able to save you from every fiery furnace.

Who is Nebuchadnezzar? Who is the one who persecutes you? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? Behold, the fourth men is coming down to rescue you. The form of the fourth is not a mere human being. The one who rescues you is the Son of God Himself.

Then, even the idol worshipper will say, “There is no other God who can deliver like that.” After the fire, none of these men’s bodies were burnt. Their hair was not singed. Their garments were not affected. Not even the smell of smoke was present. Jesus indeed promises in Mark 16:18, we are able to take up serpents. Even when we drink anything deadly will by no means hurt us.

Either we bow down to Nebuchadnezzar, or we exalt our great God, the one who rules and reigns throughout the earth. Yes, the whole world may lie under the sway of the wicked one. But, greater is Jesus who is in us. Either we INFLUENCE the world or you allow the world to manipulate you.

In all these years, God indeed proved Himself faithful to you. He continued to open Red Sea for you. God even threw your accusers to the den of lions and the lions overpowered them and broke them in pieces. Even Nebuchadnezzar was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. Till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, then the kingly throne was restored back to him.

So, faithful servants of God, look to the reward. Those who endure to the end shall be saved. When the Son of Man comes and sits on the throne of His glory, with His holy angels around Him, He will separate the righteous ones from those that are doomed. Jesus will comfort these faithful ones, “Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” (Matthew 25:34) That is our eternal reward. Friends, do not be shortsighted. For the things which are seen are temporary, but what had been prepared for us is everlasting.

The wise will make the right choice. Choose this day whom you will serve!
