TEXT: DANIEL: 1 :11-20

TOPIC: PEER INFLUENCE(7)

KEY VERSE: DANIEL 1:20

And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.

                   Peer influence exert a pressure on you to do what naturally you may not be able to do. It is an external drive that propel you to act out what you may not have done if you are on your own. 

                    Daniel had influence on his friends and they both purported in their minds not to defile themselves with the King's meal and the outcome was that they were ten times better than their colleagues. When Daniel was sent on an official assignment and the king commanded that  all must bow to his statue. The three Hebrew friends did not compromise, they had faith and their actions made God to be known in Babylon. They were promoted to the realm of affairs in the land and they had great influence on the land. 

                    You will attain great heights in life if you surround yourself with right set of people who have positive influence on you. No man can fulfill his destiny all alone without destiny helpers. Daniel and his three friends had positive influence on each other. Their association made them to be reputed as great men that lived in their time. They did not allow the civilization of their world influence them for evil but rather they changed their world for good by their actions and godly character. 

Prayer: Father surround me with right set of people that will help me to fulfill purpose in life in Jesus name.

Who is your Friend?

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD WEDNESDAY 9TH APRIL, 2025 TEXT: 2 Samuel 13:1-5 [1]And it came to pass after this, that Absalom the son of David had a fair sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her. [2]And Amnon was so vexed, that he fell sick for his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin; and Amnon thought it hard for him to do any thing to her. [3]But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David’s brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man. [4]And he said unto him, Why art thou, being the king’s son, lean from day to day? Wilt thou not tell me? And Amnon said unto him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister. [5]And Jonadab said unto him, Lay thee down on thy bed, and make thyself sick: and when thy father cometh to see thee, say unto him, I pray thee, let my sister Tamar come, and give me meat, and dress the meat in my sight, that I may see it, and eat it at her hand.

The LORD is in his sanctuary (3)

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SUNDAY 4TH MAY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:20 [20]But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. TOPIC: THE LORD IS IN HIS SANCTUARY (3)            The presence of God makes a difference between a church and any other place. In God’s presence there is peace, deliverance, and fullness of Joy. In the old Testament, men of faith often raise up an altar to symbolize his presence and praise him there. The church is the modern day temple where there are altars set up to meet God. No one can come to God’s presence and return empty handed.          Many a times when people come to church without experiencing a touch, it is because they do not come with expectations of receiving from God. When there is expectations, it shows you have faith that God is in his temple and you are sensitive to his movements by being silence before God. God speaks right from the beginning of the Church s...

Your vision will speak

 DAILY INSIGHT WITH GOD SATURDAY 4TH JANUARY, 2025 TEXT: Habakkuk 2:3 [3]For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. TOPIC: YOUR VISION WILL SPEAK          Vision is time bound. Writing down of vision, planning, setting out to fulfill the goals are all processes that are necessary before vision can become a reality.        Your vision will definitely speak, if only you can wait for it. Great things do not usually happen suddenly. There is a moment to plant, watered and patiently wait for it to germinate. The bigger the vision, the bigger the time it would take to become a reality. Do not give up on your vision , it will speak at the appropriate time. Prayer: Father help me to patiently wait for me vision to become a reality in Jesus name.
