Text: Daniel 6:1-28

Today we shall examine the story of Daniel’s triumph. Daniel is one character who continues to challenge Christian believers with his integrity, faithfulness and ability to stand upright in the ace of temptation. Those who had conspired against Daniel knew that they could not accuse him of any wrongdoing. “The presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find none occasion or fault…” The only hope of destroying him was to accuse him falsely: “Then said these men, we shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God.” Jesus said we would be protected and kept safe just as Daniel was. Even when we are falsely accused as he was, we still come out unharmed. “Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake” (Matthew 5:11).

If we are in communion and fellowship with our God, the forces of evil will have no power over us because they will recognize that we do not belong to them and that we are not subjects of their kingdom. When the forces of darkness try to come against us, a boundary of intense light will be set round us. No darkness can overcome that protective shield because darkness must always give way to light.

To be assured of victory over the forces of evil and darkness in your own life. And to live in victory all your days, declare it in these words: “Lord, I thank you that, in the name of Jesus, you have enables me to overcome the world and all my enemies. Thank you for sending Jesus to set me free from the kingdom of darkness and to translate me into the Kingdom of your dear Son. In Him I am always more than a conqueror.” Amen.
