MY CHRISTIAN JOURNEY AND DANIEL 1:5

“The king assigned them a daily amount of food and wine from the king’s table. They were to be trained for three years, and after that they were to enter the king’s service”

Have you ever, at least for once talk to God of your insufficiency, have you ever said Lord- only if you can give me this one thing, then I will be complete or Lord, why am I so short of needed strength or gift.

I think you should go back and check again. Everything it takes to get to where you are going is in your hand, waiting to be discovered. Maybe your prayer point then should be- Lord, help me to see that which you have given me and put into use.

What does a Christian journey has to do with a king giving people he want to use daily food, wine in his table and even some trainings before they can enter into his service.

The one who has called us to this believing journey is a KING, He made all other kings, before we can finally enter into His kingdom, there has to be process or a kind of daily working out on our relationship with Him.

As the king in the passage provided or assigned an amount of food daily for those people, God had done the same for those called by His name, there has been a portion assigned that will get you to where you are heading to.

“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”, that was according to 2 peter 1:3, imagine that, the writer said, everything we need for both life and godliness, everything.

What you then lack is what you haven’t discovered. How do you know you can fight, if you haven’t make an attempt to do so before, how do you know you have strength if you haven’t taken a step that requires strength. His divine power has given us everything we need not basically what you want, every required tool, and every necessary instrument, check yourself once again and see if you don’t already have some of the things you often pray for.

Lord, give me grace- grace is all you had to be able to open your mouth in the first place. Everything you need for the stage you are, has been given, only pray that God will open your eyes to see, your ears to hear and your mind to understand the usage.

If you keep asking and storing (not using), I don’t think you will keep on receiving, ensure you have used that which you have been given before you ask for another. Remember the story of the master and the servants he gave talents. You have all, but all may not be needed at this stage, pray to see what you need for this stage you are.

Everything you’ve been given is for the glory of GOD, not for you to play around with, its for you to be able to stand before Him on the last day and say boldly, I used all you gave me to the glory of your name. Everything He created, He did for His pleasure.
