KEY TRAITS OF THE DANIEL’S COMPANY (3)

Another key trait of Daniels is their extraordinary strength of purpose. As a Daniel, your commitment to your purpose must surpass your personal desires (Daniel 1:8). When your purpose is stronger than your desires, you will achieve noble things. However, if your desires overpower your purpose, you may do crazy things.

Daniels are resolute individuals who make firm and correct decisions aligned with their purpose. They stand firm and say, “I won’t be polluted. Even if everyone else is doing it, I will not!” What is wrong cannot be justified by altering its appearance. For instance, as a medical doctor, if a girl comes to you for an abortion, it is not just a routine matter; it is a chance for you to save a life and guide her according to God’s will. You are expected to counsel her and let her know the reason why God brought her to you.

If you have made mistakes in the past, don’t be discouraged. The future still holds opportunities for you. A stumble or fall might be visible to some, but if you rise quickly and continue moving forward, it will soon be forgotten.

Even when faced with challenging situations, you must stand firm. Just as Joseph resisted the advances of Potiphar’s wife and Daniel rejected the king’s meat to remain pure, you, too, must uphold your principles and purpose.

Prayer: Lord, grant me the strength and capacity to confront every negative situation and challenge at every juncture on the journey of my destiny.
