Hehe, You Don't Say! Lore Magic And Fortunetelling Can Be Learnt?


In today's post, our special characters include Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. These four young men at the time hailed from Judah but were eventually discovered among others by the Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzar, who declared a search for Israelites who hailed from noble families that possessed health, handsomeness, intelligence, sound education, good prospects and leadership positions in order to naturalize in Babylon and be involved in their governmental affairs.

These famous four were given Babylonian names by the head of the palace staff. Daniel was named Belteshazzar, Hananiah was named Shadrach, Mishael was named Meshach, Azariah was named Abednego. *We see where the names Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego took its origin from right? winks

They were indoctrinated into the Babylonian language and the lore of magic and fortunetelling. It would interest you to know that this training lasted for three solid years. (See Daniel: 1-7).

For talents to be nurtured to full maturity, rigorous training must ensue.

Today's piece enlightens us on the possibility of  a new skill or a new trade. Daniel and the other guys learnt Babylonian language, lore magic and fortunetelling.

All this didn't come easy because they had to eat healthy(Vegetable and water) even when they were supposed to be feasting from the royal menu and train really hard. They knew what they wanted and fought so hard to acquire all of it without having to fall into temptation of no sort.

The reward for mortification and fortification of the flesh is God's rain of blessing. He gave all four of them knowledge and skill, in both books and life. In addition, Daniel was gifted in understanding all sorts of visions and dreams.

Are you training real hard or just being clumsy about it? The exemplary lives of Daniel, Hananiah, Shadrach and Azariah is definitely one to emulate.

Have a great day guys!

UNEQUALLY YOKED

Who is the unequally yoked person? One who is unable to partner with you at a particular level. Failure to disassociate yourself from them will lead to sinking and eventual drowning. Anchor Scripture: { Proverbs 27:17 } "Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.'' Ab initio, humans were not wired to live in isolation, they were wired to have companions who will help them in their daily lives. Everyone who accrues successes at different level was helped. Iron sharpens iron. Never been heard of that iron sharpen plastic or vice-versa, the iron will remain blunt and will be unable to operate at the realm it was designed to, while the plastic will be dissected into bitty parts. "Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what fellowship does light have with darkness?"( 2 Corinthians 6:14- NET Bible ) This Biblical portion is one to ponder upon. Partnerships , Relationships , and Courtships are sensitive SHIPS that shouldn&#

Virtue Left Me...

Image
There are TWO times virtue leaves an individual. First, is when he is filled with the Holy Spirit (and his works are been manifested) but he falls into sin. Second, is when an individual is filled with the Holy Spirit but performs tons of miracle and is left exhausted. Let's term the former "lower virtue" and the latter " higher virtue." Both category of virtue need Prayer (intercessors/ intercessory) to be reinstated. Uninterestingly, the lower virtue takes a lot of time to be reinstated. However, the higher virtue can be reinstated with ease. Virtues are ethical behaviours showing high moral standards. Subscribing to sin leads to loss of the lower virtue, which send the sufferer into depression, stagnation, confusion, doubt, disbelief, trauma, sober moments, and all other negative psychological imbalance. Subscribing to holiness without introducing sin into the picture during workings of miracles reintroduces the sufferer/victim into the next level
