DANIEL-AN UNCOMPROMISING LEADER WITH AN EXCELLENT SPIRIT,

The commander of the officials assigned different names to Daniel and his friends.names were extremely important in biblical times,for they conveyed something of a person's identity.thus God sometimes gave a person a new name to indicate a changed life.However,the names the commander of the officials assigned to Daniel and his friends were the names of Babylonian gods. the name Belshazzar given to Daniel has been taken from 'BEL' a title for the Babylonian god Marduk(Dan:1:7) He could only change their names,but not their faith: But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king's choice food or with the wine which he drank;so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself(Dan:1:8)

Daniel did not want to take the delicacies or wine from the table of the king for he knew that partaking in them could defile his body ,the temple of god .as mach as we take care of our spirits,we need to take care of our bodies too.Daniel was not a compromise,BUT AN OVER COMER. We understand that even Paul was determind not to be compromiser from his statement,we live we move and we exit in Christ(acts:17:28)when we are born again, the risen lord jesus becaomes the source of our christian life ;in Him we are positioned and in whom we live, move and exist.Paul furthergoes on to say that if any man is in Christ,he is a new creature;the old things have passed away;behold all things have become new(2cor:5:17) When Daniel was brought to Babylon,he was about sixteen or seventeen years old and at that tender age ,he decided to take a firm stand for the lord in a foreign land.

WILL YOU BE LIKE DANIEL TODAY IN THIS WORLD FOR CHRIST!!! JABEZ BACK 2 BIBLE
