The Topic of Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional for 26th May 2024 Is “The Power of Angelic Intervention (2)”
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Job 3; Job 4; Job 5; John 15; John 16
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Daniel 6:10-24
10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before.
11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help.
12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human being except to you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into the lions’ den?” The king answered, “The decree stands—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”
13 Then they said to the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, Your Majesty, or to the decree you put in writing. He still prays three times a day.”
14 When the king heard this, he was greatly distressed; he was determined to rescue Daniel and made every effort until sundown to save him.
15 Then the men went as a group to King Darius and said to him, “Remember, Your Majesty, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.”
16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed.
18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.
19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den.
20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”
21 Daniel answered, “May the king live forever!
22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.”
23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
24 At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
MEMORY VERSE: Daniel 6:22
My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, 0 king, have I done no hurt.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES: Be kind to strangers because it is the loving thing to do. Also, you never know they could be angels
PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
God’s Angel shall encamp round about you and your family. They shall deliver you from trouble and protect you, in the name of Jesus.

MFM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 26TH MAY 2024
Yesterday, we identified an important role of God’s angels and what they do when they are sent by God to intervene in the affairs of mortals. We saw how one warrior angel sent by God went into the camp of the Assyrians, the enemy of God’s children in Judah and killed 185,000 soldiers in one night. Beloved, God still fights f0r His children and He will fight f0r y0u, in Jesus name.
Today, we shall learn another area of intervention of God’s angels as recorded in the Bible. God’s angels set children of God free from danger, trouble, and impending death. In Daniel, the enemies of Daniel, who were envi0us of his rising pr0file in the land of Babylon, had conspired and made the king to make a decree that no one should pray to any God except the king’s id0ls. Daniel knew that he owed his life and sustenance to God and his constant fellowship with Him. He knew the plan of the enemy was to stop him from praying and receiving help from His God. So he did not stop praying. Eventually, his enemies found him praying and reported him to the king. He had run foul of the law. Consequently, he was thrown into the den of a lion and his enemies expected him to be devoured.
The Bible says that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers him from them all. Daniel was a righteous man. God sent His angel to shut the mouth of the lions and he lived. The king praised the God of Daniel who is able to save to the uttermost and who put the counsel of the conspirators to naught.
We saw the great roles God’s angels played in the deliverance and preservation of Lot when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah with fire. God sent two angels. The Bible says, “And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unt0 him: and they brought him f0rth, and set him without the city. And it came to pass when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; l00k not behind thee, neither stay th0u in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed… Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither.” Therefore the name of the City was called Zoar. The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar. Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;”
Beloved, the God of Daniel is still alive and He will shut the mouths of lions that want to devour you and disappoint the devices of the crafty in your life, in Jesus’ name.
