FIRE SCRIPTURE:
Daniel 3:8-18 – Christian Standard Bible
The Furnace of Blazing Fire
8 Some Chaldeans took this occasion to come forward and maliciously accuse the Jews. 9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “May the king live forever. 10 You as king have issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, drum, and every kind of music must fall down and worship the gold statue. 11 Whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire.
12 There are some Jews you have appointed to manage the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men have ignored you, the king; they do not serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.”
13 Then in a furious rage Nebuchadnezzar gave orders to bring in Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. So these men were brought before the king. 14 Nebuchadnezzar asked them, “Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, is it true that you don’t serve my gods or worship the gold statue I have set up?
15 Now if you’re ready, when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, drum, and every kind of music, fall down and worship the statue I made. But if you don’t worship it, you will immediately be thrown into a furnace of blazing fire—and who is the god who can rescue you from my power?”
16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we don’t need to give you an answer to this question. 17 If the God we serve exists, then he can rescue us from the furnace of blazing fire, and he can rescue us from the power of you, the king. 18 But even if he does not rescue us, we want you as king to know that we will not serve your gods or worship the gold statue you set up.”
MFM Daily Devotional 17th October 2025, MESSAGE
Though the Bible, as shown in our Memory Verse for today, teaches us to obey, honour and pray for those who rule over us, our first duty is to God Himself: to obey the first and the greatest commandment, to love God with all our hearts, souls, minds and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5; Matthew 22:37-38). Therefore, we are not expected to worship or bestow divine honour upon any false god, lesser god or any image representing a god.
These three young men (Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) knew and understood this truth and the scriptural affirmation that our God is a jealous God. He will not share His glory with any beggarly power. Little wonder, despite the threat of king Nebuchadnezzar, these three young men refused to compromise their personal convictions. Instead, they gave bold and unhesitating witness to their allegiance to the true God. They had a hope and a truth that were fixed on Him who was their refuge and strength. They also knew that the wrath of God against sin and disobedience was far worse than human wrath.
As a child of God, you should diligently ask God to put a firm determination within your heart to remain true to Him and His Word, regardless of the consequences.
The fact that everyone is doing something does not make it right.
In Daniel 3:28-30, King Nebuchadnezzar saw the fourth man in the fire, walking freely with three Hebrew men and testified to the greatness and power of God. He came to this conviction after his humbling experience.
May you receive the grace to stand for God in every area of life, in Jesus’ Name.
Some parents threaten and intimidate their children for accepting Christ as Lord and for serving Him. Some outrightly disown such children. Some threaten their wives for joining a living church and for going to pray to the living God. Some of such parents are not born again and they prefer that such children or wives join them in worshipping the devil.
Beloved, is this your current situation and experience? Tell that parent or husband humbly, “I will not serve your god!”
I pray that you will not experience the wrath of God. You will not go into perdition, in Jesus’ Name.
TODAY PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. Any problem in my life assigned to make me serve the idol of my father’s house, die, in the Name of Jesus.
2. Intimidation and harassment assigned to frustrate me out of Christ, die, in the Name of Jesus.
3. Idols of my father’s house, that is still active and waiting for my worship, you are a liar, die, in the Name of Jesus.
EVENING
4. Idol worshippers in my father’s house, calling my name for idol worship, you have done enough, die, in the Name of Jesus.
5. I refuse, by the power in the Name of Jesus, to bow down to any small god, in the Name of Jesus.
6. Idols in my father’s house my family members have been covenanted to, I reject you, I remove you, die by fire, in the Name of Jesus.
7. O God of Israel, You are my God and I shall serve You forever, in the Name of Jesus.
