PrintAbout Rule and Reign Like Daniel Series
Daniel believed in God as Ruler, so he brought Heaven’s Rule into his earthly government and heathen captors. Do you rule and reign like Daniel did?
Devotional
…there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way. Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.
Daniel 4:29-30 ESV
The moment there is a mark of God’s power and favor on these men, the heathen king conscripts them into his service in Babylon. The very men, a mere moment ago, he would have burned to death in white hot rage for failing to bow to him as god. Now Nebuchadnezzar takes the manifestation of the Real God and owns it for himself.
If the principality of Satan cannot destroy you, he will exalt you, and use you for his ends. The enemy-tyrant ever seeks to destroy God’s own, one way or the other.
