Be Faithful to the end. Rev. 2:10

Daniel Purposed In HIS HEART That He would not defile Himself…Dan.1:8

Who was Daniel? What did Daniel do? He purposed…He decided… Where did he make this resolution? In His Heart What would he not do? Defile himself with the King’s meat and drink. How? PROVE THY SERVANTS… Put us to the test.

1. Daniel was faithful to God. 2. Daniel was snatched from home, moved as a prisoner to Babylon 3. He was enrolled in school in the king’s court. 4. He refused to defile himself with the king’s Delicacies. 5. He was told not to pray—yet he refused to obey man… 6. He was thrown into the lions den.. God honored and exalted him for that faithfulness.

Are you ready to do what Daniel did? What does it take today to be a Christian, to be faithfully serving the Lord? A decision must be made…When we are tried, what is our Answer? The devil wants you. The world around you wants you to Be like it. First: Decide who you want to serve? Matt. 11:28-30; Matt. 23:37

First: Decide who you want to serve? Matt. 11:28-30; Matt. 23:37

Second: Make up your mind to be faithful to Him. It is entirely up to you…no one else can serve God for you. Mtt. 16:26 ; Gal.2:20

Third. Prove you are a disciple! …I will follow Jesus! John 13:34,35 ; I Pet.2:21

Fourth: Be faithful…Who are you serving? Yourself? Others? Jesus Christ.. (Mtt.6:33)

Is God faithful? God is faithful to us meaning that He does what He promises and that he is reliable and dependable. I Thess. 5:24 “Faithful is he who has called you who will also do it.” 2 Tim. 2:13 “If we are faithless, He remains faithful for He cannot deny Himself” God always delivers on His promises! Examples:

Example: Abraham and Sarah God promised this couple that they would have a child in their old age: And it came to pass Heb. 11:11 “By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child When she was past the age, because she judged Him FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED. Sarah, because of God’s faithfulness, though she Was past the age of child bearing bore a son.

Deut. 7:9 Know therefore that the Lord your God Is God: he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant Of love to a thousand generations of those who love Him and keep his commands. A promise that God made and He keeps!! “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. (I Cor. 10:13) “ GOD IS FAITHFUL! Even when it comes to temptation… He does not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able to bear. God even makes a way of escape for us so that we don’t fall.

God expects us to be faithful. Everyone does not have the same opportunities: Nor do we all have the same abilities. BUT WE ALL HAVE SOMETHING!! In the parable of the talents : Jesus is the Master and His servants are us. Matt. 25:14-30

What does it mean to us to be faithful at O’Neal? Answer: It means to be stedfast or consistent in Allegiance or affection. A faithful person does not Waver. They are always there. You can count on them. To be faithful means that you are firm in adherence to Promises or in observance of duty. You keep your Promises and do your duties well.

Faithfulness is not a common character trait! It is rare! Matt. 7:13-14 FEW.. Will that Mean you?? Faithfulness is not an option we choose. God expects Us to be faithful to Him, and He seeks men and women Who will live so as to consistently carry out His will! I Sam. 2:35 “ And I will raise me up a faithful priest, That shall do according to that which is in mine heart And in my mind. “ Balaam: I can only speak and do What God says!! Num.22:18 And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the L ORD my God, to do less or more.

Be faithful in Prayer I Thess. 5:17 Acts 2:42

Be faithful in attending church services Acts 20:7 Heb. 10:25 Titus 3:1 Is it a good work? Told to be ready to every good work!

Be faithful in your giving. Prov. 3:9 “Honor the Lord with your possession. And with the first Fruits of all your increase. I Cor. 16:1-2

Be faithful in your relationships. Eph. 5:25 Husbands, love your wives.. Eph. 5:23 Wives, be subject to your husbands Eph. 6:1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord…

Be faithful to your commitment to serve the Lord. Remember what Jesus asked his apostles?? Will you also go away? What did Peter say? John 6:68,69 68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

Make up your mind to do better…and do it. Quit making excuses for yourself. Psalms 122:1 I was glad…not sad, not mad…

Be assured: This world is not my home… I am just traveling through it. 2 Tim.4:7,8 Heb. 9:27

Get rid of your sins that bog you down Isa. 59:1-2 James 5:16

Look what Daniel got! Dan. 1: Now at the end of the days that the king had said he should bring them in, then the prince of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 19 And the king communed with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: therefore stood they before the king.

Remember what you are going to get in the end. I Cor. 15:58 Rev. 14:13
