TEXT: Daniel 3:16-18
[16]Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter.
[17]If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.
[18]But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
TOPIC: WHEN SERVING GOD PUT YOU INTO TROUBLE (1)
God demand loyalty and commitment from his people especially in critical times. It is easier to identify as a Christian when the going is good but hard when the going gets tough. It is in critical tines that our loyalty is being tested if truly we are believers.The three Hebrews were highly placed in the Government of Babylon. They did not hide their faith in the God of the Hebrews that it caught the attention of others that they did not bow to baal.
They risked loosing their well paid jobs, exalted positions and above all their lives. They insisted on not bowing even if their God will not save them. There are so many baals of corruption, sexual immorality, monetary fraud that will test our allegiance and loyalty to Christ. Will you bow to them or remain loyal to your God. Remaining loyal may cost you your job, possessions or your life. Are you willing to stay steadfast in Christ and sacrifice worldly profits for heavenly gains.
Prayer: Father help me not to sacrifice my eternal rewards for worldly gains in Jesus name.
