FAITH CAPSULE: A faithfully faith-full man will always be faultless and live life as an overcomer.

Daniel 6
 
Daniel was described as a faithful man. Indeed, many do proclaim to have faith but extremely few are faithfully faith-full. When one is faithfully faith-full like Daniel, one will be definitely faultless before any man just as Daniel was faultless. When the evil plan to get rid of Daniel was orchestrated by governors and satraps, it was by sending him into the hungry lion’s den. It is written, “…but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him. 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.”(Daniel 6:4-6) As regard to Daniel, the above scriptural verse confession of the wicked governors and satraps is what it means to be faithful (faithfully faith-full)  
Inhabited in Daniel’s purposeful heart is his schedule of maintaining a communication line with his God. Making a journey glorious demands a consciously established communicating line with heaven and not waiting for overwhelming challenges before scrambling for prayer support. When it was time to orchestrate evil against Daniel by the governors and satraps, he elevated himself to upper room, “…with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.” (Daniel 6:10) Instead of calling around for prayer help he went by his schedule. Daniel’s custom was his schedule in meeting and connecting with his God. He did not do it in hiding because he opened his windows right in the face of his enemies. With Daniel’s custom approach to God, there shall never be a want for young or old lions when Daniel is present.
Daniel feared God, he purposed at the beginning of his captivity journey not to subject himself to the comfort of this world when he refused the kings provision.
Whatever you are in the eyes of man by virtue of your challenges is not what counts. Daniel was a captive in the eyes of man but a captain general in the eyes of the Almighty General. His purposeful heart also granted him the grace to continually serve God. King Darius, as much as he desired to deliver Daniel, could not deliver him from going into the den of hungry lions. God was to be glorified in Daniel’s deliverance. As a result, “…the king gave the command, and they brought Daniel and cast him into the den of lions. But the king spoke, saying to Daniel, “Your God, whom you serve continually, He will deliver you.” (Daniel 6:16) A king that does not know the God of Daniel recognized in Daniel that continuity in serving the God of Daniel is the price for greatness.
 
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to be constantly consistent lining your life up in the word of God.
