Open Window

by Pastor Wilson Yeo

Set Apart (Daniel 1)
Step Out (Daniel 2)
Bow Down (Daniel 3)
Two Kings (Daniel 4-5)

Daniel 6:1-10
Daniel 6:11-17
Daniel 6:23-28

Big Idea :
Discern what is worth fighting for and be bold even in the face of trials such as opposition or persecution

God's favor and presence over Daniel did not remove them from going through persecution opposition and trials and difficulties. Instead, His presence allow them to thrive through trials and persecutions

2 Timothy 3:12
In fact everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evildoers and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

We can never be 100% prepared for the schemes of our enemy. We must rest secure in Jesus Christ knowing that no trials will come our way unless God allows it for a very good reason. And the reason is in James 1:2-4

James 1:2-4
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, that whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish it's work so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Trials have a way of bringing the best or worst out of us. Daniel prepare to lose his life but never his relationship with God.

What are the values and convictions that we will die for?
Mark 8:38
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man will be ashamed of them when he comes in His father's glory with his holy angels.

# No man can change God's perfect will for you #

# Trials will reveal the true God or (god) in our lives #

Smith Wigglesworth
Great Faith is the product of Great Fights
Great Testimonies are the outcome of Great Tests
Great Triumphs can only come out of Great Trials
