Topic: Having an understanding that life is by the grace of God
Text: Dan.5:1-12, 23-31
Having the understanding in us that we live and move by the grace of God will give us a sense of submission to God. It will inform us on how to serve the almighty God.
Belshazzar knew how God humbled his father but he didn’t note the lessons from his father’s experience.
He went ahead to challenge God because he felt he was now in authority. He had no fear nor respect for God (Ps.50:7-16).
Take a deep pause and reflect on how similar your life is with Belshazzar. You might not use the communion cup to defile God but how does your actions and service (or lack of it) defile God.
Corruption and demonic activities have taken over our society today.
In 1Tim.1:12 Paul told Timothy that it is only the mercy and grace of God that let him be who he is now. If Belshazzar had acknowledged God’s grace he wouldn’t have ended up the way he did.
Conclusion: Turn away from the life of sin you are living now. God has a standard of justice.
The power of tongue can condemn you and can also give you salvation. Choose wisely!!!
