DON'T DENY GOD BECAUSE OF CHALLENGES.

DON'T DENY GOD BECAUSE OF CHALLENGES.

Scriptural Solution Insight.

Challenges are what make life have different meanings to everyone. We all face it in one way or the other. Most of the time, challenges come to test our faith and grow us. Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional. The challenge is impossible to avoid or prevent. The challenge will surely come once you're on Earth. But our response to the challenge determines if we overcome it. And the best and most positive way to Respond to Challenges is by Faith. In the face of the challenge don't deny God. Because our hope in Him makes us overcome every challenge.

The challenge comes to show our level of Faith. A woman called me and asked me to pray for his Son, who was arrested for a serious crime. And it's possible if Mercy from God doesn't speak, the young man will go to Jail. When immediately, I was told my faith was Active, and I had a strong peace and knew he would be free by passing some tests. Days We keep praying for Mercy. But 3 days before the arrest, the mother Called me and cried that the God she serves doesn't favor Her. Because the man, the young man offended, has taken the case to court. I was disappointed by the Words of the Woman. Immediately, I knew that the challenges of life can make anyone deny God. But whatever you're going through isn't worth denying God. When I thank God for mercy, just a few Minutes to the court, the man withdraws the case.

The funny part is the woman now calls me, and like, thank God. I now recall how she denied God because of the challenge that comes with testing her faith. When! Many of us are also faithful to God, but just because of little Challenges of life, we deny God. The story of the three friends of Daniel—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego is a lesson to learn from and Not deny God in the face of challenge. 

The story is in the Book of Daniel 3 the king asked everyone to bow and worship his Golden image. But the 3 friends of Daniel deny it. They know that the challenge comes with Death, But still, they refuse to deny God. They responded to the King when they were asked to be thrown into the blazing furnace, which should be the faith of believers in Christ Jesus. NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH, DO NOT DENY GOD. LET GOD WILL BE DONE BY REMAINING FAITHFUL TO HIM.

Dan.3.16 - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter.

Dan.3.17 - If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king.

Dan.3.18 - But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."

Let me share with you 3 things I learned from the 3 friends of Daniel.

1. Faithfulness: The unwavering faith of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego serves as a profound example of commitment to one's beliefs, even in the face of severe consequences. Many, when facing little Challenges in life, will look for the gods to provide Solutions for them; our faith in God is important when we're facing Challenges in Life. Our faithfulness to God makes us sure, that he's always with us. Isaiah 41:10:

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

In the face of different life challenges, Let's remain Faithful to God; he's with Us in the challenge. Our faithfulness to God in challenging times determines how defeated we are.

2. Divine intervention: in the face of the Challenge, you need to believe in divine Intervention; from the above scripture, they believe that in the challenge, God will still come to save them. They refuse to deny him but also believe in his intervention. When you're facing the Challenge of life, Believe in divine intervention. He will surely come through for you. 

".....Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God's."

3) Let God will be done: Sometimes, because of our faith in Christ, things can happen the way around our faith. And it can easily make us deny God. One of the realities of God is that he does things the way he wants, and that doesn't mean he's no longer God. That's why, as a believer, In every challenge, Pray for His Will to be done. V18 makes the 3 friends of Daniel have that Mindset. King, our faith is that he will deliver us, but if he doesn't, Let his will be done. And the will of God was done.

Instead of denying God, Declare God and let your will be done. 

Finally, there is Nothing worth denying your faith IN God; each challenge is only on earth. Because if we deny him on earth, He will deny us in heaven. Let us learn to trust in God even in challenges, difficulties, and hardships. Act in Faith till your last breath. God bless you.

Let's Pray: In my challenge of Life, Lord let your Will be done. In Jesus name. Amen.

Hope it's insightful.
