FAITH CAPSULE: Do not be at fault with anyone so God can fault your enemy and established you.

Daniel 6:1-24
 
When you become faultless before your enemy, nothing formed against you will prosper. The word of God that is consistent and true to perform states it, “Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause shall not alight.” (Proverbs 26:2) As a child of God, whose life is centered on walking in the word, where there is no cause the enemy’s curse shall not manifest against you. Stand your ground and let there be no giving in, but you have to be faithful to become faultless as was the case with Daniel. The notion of a captive who arose to become governor did not fare well among the free people of the land. There was no way for the free people of the land to bring Daniel down without being in conflict with the law of God. Daniel 6:5, “Then these men said, ‘We shall not find any charge against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the law of his God.’” They did find a way, however, to get Daniel in trouble by having King Darius sign a decree against anyone who petitioned any god or man. It was brought before the king that Daniel had disobeyed the law. Daniel’s disobedience according to the adversary of Daniel was, Daniel was found praying and making supplication before his God. The bible recorded that , “…they went before the king, and spoke concerning the king’s decree: “Have you not signed a decree that every man who petitions any god or man within thirty days, except you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?” (Daniel 6:12) The consequence for his disobedience was to be executed. King Darius, knowing Daniel and his standing in the Lord, endured great struggle as he was compelled to abide by his own law. Against his own will King Darius gave the order to put Daniel in the lions’ den while hoping that God would deliver him out of it. Daniel 6:15, “Then these men approached the king, and said to the king, ‘Know, O King, that it is the law of the Medes and Persians that no decree or statute which the king established may be changed.’” Is your case similar to that of Daniel? As long as you are serving the Living God continually as did Daniel, God will consistently see you through even though it looks like there is no way out. Daniel was thrown into the den of lions but not a single scratch was recorded. God is a God of the eleventh hour. It is never too late for God to intervene. Know that as God saw Daniel through his difficulty while he was in a foreign land so will He dispense mercy on your behalf. Do not be at fault with anyone so God can fault your enemy and established you.
