THE SEED
“but ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” 1 Peter 2: 9
King Nebuchadnezzar was at peace and prospering in his palace when trouble struck. For believers, particularly ministers of God, there must be no moment of relaxation – no unguarded hour or else the fellow could be brought down by enemy’s fire. Hence, 1 Thessalonians 5: 15-17 says whenever you are rejoicing or celebrating, prayer must be going on side by side. As you are dedicating that car, house or business, pray. As you rake several souls into God’s kingdom, pray. Whatever feat you perform for God this year, let it be backed up with prayer and vigilance. Similarly, the king named Daniel Belteshazzar – the name of his idol. By this, he was trying to establish Daniel’s importance to him. As a believer, you must be careful the name you bear, give to your children or call a project or firm you have influence over. When your name is linked with a local deity, you become an advocate of that deity. You will be advertising that idol. In the same vein, the spirit of that deity will have legal grounds to determine the course of your life and activities.
