Title: Stand for Christ
By: Simon Maina Nuhu
Date: 15.11.2024
“If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king” (Daniel 3:17).
Standing for God means absolute loyalty to Him despite the situation. It translates one’s unflinching commitment to the Almighty God at any expense and such an act makes one deny themselves and all that they hold so dear to them in this life. There are quite a lot of people in the past who distinguished themselves for God thereby laying examples for us to follow. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were three godly friends and were part of those taken from their home country into captivity in Babylon. Though they were in a strange land, they did not drop or deny their faith. They continued being children of God because they knew that God is over all. When they were faced with a decision to choose between the God of heaven and the god of Babylon, they expressly chose the God of heaven because they were sure that He is the one and only true God and that even if He would not deliver them from the danger of the fiery fire, they were completely willing to go through that.
Some people do not absolutely believe in God and His unquantifiable love. They say only with their mouth that they believe in God but do not show the fruit of the confession (Isaiah 29:13). To avoid being called names by other people or laughed at, they hide their identity as friends of Jesus. They do not have the courage to show up and defend their faith.
However, God needs people like the three Hebrew young men who will believe in Him, take their stand in society, and live for Christ everywhere. They are also expected to show Christ to others through their lives and preaching without being ashamed of Him. Show that you are convinced about the God you believe in, and stand out for Jesus. Defend the faith at all times and at all costs because faithful is He that called us. In any circumstance, there are bountiful chances to showcase our loyalty to God. It is my sincere prayer that we exhibit true dedication and stand up at all times and in all conditions for Christ Jesus. Our Lord Jesus says in Matthew 10:33 ย ย “But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.”
