HEY YOU DO RIGHT!
DANIEL 1: 1-8
BACKGROUND:
ISREAL HAD BEEN DEFEATED FOR THEIR SINS AGAINST GOD.
THEIR DIRTY GIRDLE SINS: PRIDE NOT SERVING GOD THE ONLY GOD CHASING AFTER OTHER GODS ETC
NEBUCHADNEZZAR TOOK THE BEST OF THE PEOPLE AWAY. INCLUDING THE KING OF JUDEA, & DANIEL, HANANIAH, AZARIAH, MISHAEL WAS AMOUNG THEM.
THE KING ASKED HIS GUARD OF THE EUNUCHS THAT HE WANTED HIM TO BRING CERTAIN YOUNG MEN INTO HIS PALACE TO RAISE THEM UP FOR HIS SERVICE
SO HE CHOSE THESE 4 YOUNG MEN & BROUGHT THEM IN
THEY WERE DRESSED UP. FED OF THE KINGS MEAT & PORTIONS
TREATED LIKE A PRINCE
THEN THEY CHANGE THEIR NAMES TO
DANIEL TO BELTESHAZZAR
HANNANIAH TO SHADRACH
MISHAEL TO MESHACH
AZARIAH TO ABEDNEGO (JUST LIKE THE WORLD TO CHANGE YOUR IDENTITY ALSO)
THEN THEY REFUSED TO DEFILE THEM SELVES OF THE KINGS MEAT
THE STORY GOES ON FROM THERE
THESE 3 HEBREW CHILDREN INTO THE FURNACE GOD PREVAILED JESUS WAS IN THE FIRE WITH THEM
DANIEL THROWN INTO THE LION DEN GOD AGAIN PREVAILED THE LORD CLOSED THE MOUTHS OF THE HUNGRY LIONS
MAY I SAY HERE THAT IF WE DO RIGHT? SERVE THE LORD COMPLETELY REST ASSURED THAT HE WILL GO THRU THE FIRE WITH YOU.
(MAY I ALSO ADD THAT THEY WERE NOT SAVED FROM THE FIRE.) (THEY WERE SAVED IN THE FIRE) (JESUS ALWAYS SEEMS SWEETER AFTER THE BIG TRIAL OR TEST)
MAY YOU KNOW HE WILL WALK WITH YOU IN THIS WORLD HE WILL PROTECT YOU FROM THE HUNGRY LIONS OF THIS WORLD HE WILL PROTECT YOU FROM THE ONE WHO SEEK TO DEVOUR YOU (THE DEVIL) 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
THE YOUNG MEN OF GOD CHOOSE TO DO RIGHT THE BOTTOM LINE GOD BLESSED THEM FOR DOING RIGHT
I FOUND A VERY PRACTICAL VERSE IN Proverbs 1:10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. THE 4 HEBREW CHILDREN UNDERSTOOD THIS VERSE. THEY ALSO LIVED IT
MY QUESTION IS WHY CAN’T WE LIVE IT!!!
THEY UNDERSTOOD THE REAL DEEP MEANING OF THIS VERSE THEY UNDERSTOOD THE HARDNESS OF PROVERBS 1:10
VERY SIMPLE HERE: IF A LOST OR SAVED PERSON TRIES TO GET YOU TO SIN OR DO WRONG JUST SAY NO!!
MAY I SAY IF FOR ONE MINUTE YOU THINK. THAT YOU’RE SAVED FRIENDS OR BOYFRIENDS OR GIRLFRIENDS WON’T LEAD YOU WRONG!!
YOU’RE DUMBMER THAN A BOX OF ROCKS
THEY WILL BE THE FIRST TO LEAD YOU WRONG WAY WHY? BECAUSE WE ARE A WICKED & UNGODLY PEOPLE
THEN THERE IS THIS VERSE IN 2 Samuel 13:3a But Amnon had a friend, … HEY READ THE REST OF THE STORY IN 2 SAMUEL 13:3-39 THIS ENDS UP WITH RAPE, MURDER, SHAME & SORROW
IF WE WERE GODLY
WE WOULD BE READING OUR BIBLES
WE WOULD BE PRAYING & SEEKING GOD’S PERFECT WILL
WE WOULD BE GIVING OUR TITHE & OUR TIME TO THE LORD
WE WOULD BE FAITHFUL TO CHURCH & SUNDAY SCHOOL & TO ACTIVITIES
WE WOULD BE FAITH FUL TO SOUL WINNING & TELLING OUR FRIENDS
WE WOULD OBEY OUR PARENTS & THE LORD
IF WE WERE GODLY!!!!!
PROVERBS 1:10 WITH IT’S DEEP MEANING IS: STAY AWAY GET AWAY
RUN,JUMP,SKIP, & LEAP IF YOU HAVE TO. WHATEVER IT TAKES STAY AWAY GET AWAY FROM THOSE WHO LEAD YOU WRONG
I BELIEVE IN THE GOD OF THESE 4 YOUNG MEN: DO YOU?
IF YOU DO THEN WHY DO YOU NOT DO RIGHT?
IT WAS ONCE SAID OF GREAT PREACHER ”DO RIGHT, DO RIGHT, IF THE STARS FALL DO RIGHT.”
OH GEE WHAT DOES THAT MEAN BRO HANSEN?
IT MEANS TO DO RIGHT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS DO RIGHT
BAD DAY AT SCHOOL DO RIGHT
FIGHT WITH THE PARENTS DO RIGHT
BAD DAY AT WORK DO RIGHT
MY BOY FRIENDS TELL ME IF I DON’T HE WILL LEAVE ME DO RIGHT
MY GIRLFREIND TELLS ME SHE WANTS TO DO RIGHT
MY FRIENDS SAY I’M NOT A MAN IF I DON’T DO RIGHT
WE FIND HERE A WONDERFUL STORY ABOUT HOW GOD USED 4 YOUNG MEN TO SHOW THE WORLD YOU CAN DO RIGHT
SEE GOD USES YOUNG PEOPLE
THEY REFUSED TO EAT OR DRINK OF THE KING’S TABLE
THE KING IS A FORM OF THE WORLD
THE KING PORTIONS IS A FORM OF WHAT THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER
(THEY WERE UNCLEAN FOR THEM)
YOU PEOPLE MAY I SAY THERE IS NOTHING WORTH LOSING YOUR SOUL OVER
THERE IS NOTHING WORTH LOSING WHAT GOD HAS FOR YOU IN YOUR LIFE FOR THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD
MAY I SAY THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD ARE UNCLEAN TO US
LISTEN TO ME I WAS SAVED FROM THAT AWFUL SIN WORLD I WAS SO DEEP IN IT MY FAMILY WAS AFRAID OF ME I TRIED KILLING MYSELF & I WAS UNHAPPY. THE WORSE I WAS HEADED FOR HELL
IN ALL HONESTY DO YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY IN LIFE?
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE HAPPY?
THEN DO RIGHT GET RID OF SELF DO RIGHT
1. IT IS ALWAYS RIGHT – TO DO RIGHT:
DANIEL, SHADRACH, MESHACH, & ABEDNEGO WOULD NOT BOW DOWN TO DO WRONG
THEY DIDN’T EVEN BAT AN EYE IT WAS A NO BRAINER FOR THEM THEY HAD NO SECOND THOUGHT
THEY JUST SAID NO
HERE IS WHAT KEEPS US FROM DOING RIGHT
THE PRICE
THERE IS ALWAYS A PRICE FOR DOING RIGHT
NO BODY WANTS TO PAY THE PRICE
THE WORLD HAS A PRICE IT’S CALLED HELL
GOD HAS A PRICE IT’S CALLED THE DEATH JESUS HIS ONLYBOTTEN SON. THE REWARD FOR TRUSTING A HOME IN HEAVEN
DANIEL DID RIGHT HIS PRICE WAS THE LIONS DEN
THE 3 HEBREW CHILDREN DID RIGHT THEIR PRICE WAS THE FIREY FURNACE SO HOT IT BURNED UP THE FAT MAN THAT WAS GING TO PUT THEM IN THE FURNANCE THEIR REWARD WAS JESUS WAS IN THE FURANCE WITRH THEM ALL THE WAY
OH BY THE WAY IF YOU MAKE A STAND FOR GOD. THE WORLD WILL PUNISH YOU FOR IT
(THEY WENT THRU THE WORLDS PUNISHMENT)
HOW WILL THE WORLD PUNISH ME FRIENDS WILL FORSAKE YOU THE WORLD CALLS YOU A JESUS FREAK NOT MUCH TO OFFER OUTSIDE OF THE WORLD (THAT IS A PROBLEM NOT ENOUGH FUN THINGS FOR THE CHRISTIAN)
I MEAN THEY HAVE ALL THE FUN STUFF TO DO. THEY HAVE ALL THE CLUBS, THE BOOZE, THE MOVIES THE MUSIC, THE GIRLS, & THE GUYS YOU KNOW THE FUN STUFF
OH YEA THE FUN STUFF GUESS WHAT? THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT THE BAD THINGS. THE HANG OVERS, LIVES THAT ARE RUIN, DEATH, & THOSE THAT ARE CRIPPLED FOR LIFE FOR BEING STUPID. YEA YOU KNOW THE FUN STUFF.
ALL THAT FUN STUFF IS GOING TO BURN UP IN GOD’S FURNACE DO YOU WANT TO BURN WITH IT
NOT SO MUCH FUN NOW IS IT?
DANIEL DID RIGHT GOD’S REWARD REWARDED TO HIGH PLACES (PROMOTED IN THE KINGS PALACE)
THE 3 HEBREW CHILDREN DID RIGHT GOD’S PRICE JESUS WAS SEEN IN THE FIRE WITH THEM (MAY I SAY THAT JESUS WILL GO THRU THE FIRE WITH YOU NOTHING NEW FOR HIM) THEY WERE PROMOTED ALSO KEEP IN MIND THESE YOUNG MEN.
HAD ALREADY MADE UP THEIR MINDS TO DO RIGHT THEY HAD PURPOSED IN THEIR HEARTS. Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
WILL YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO DO RIGHT
JUST SAY NO TO THE WORLD & WHAT IT OFFERS
GOD WILL REWARD YOU
IT ALWAYS RIGHT - TO DO RIGHT
2. IT IS ALWAYS RIGHT TO DO RIGHT AWAY FROM HOME:
SOMEONE ONCE SAID “THE REAL YOU” COMES OUT WHEN YOU ARE AWAY FROM HOME.
I WILL GO ONE STEP FUTHER WHEN YOU ARE EVEN AWAY FROM CHURCH WHERE THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW YOU
WHEN YOU GO OFF TO COLLEGE JOIN THE ARMY GO TO TEEN CAMP MOVE AWAY FROM HOME
TEMPTATION WILL COME
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
I MEAN MOM & DAD NOT AROUND THEY CAN’T SEE YOU
THE PREACHER CAN’T SEE YOU
THE YOUTH PASTOR CAN’T SEE YOU
THAT’S TRUE! BUT I KNOW SOMEONE WHO CAN SEE YOU ALL THE TIME Proverbs 5:21 For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
REST ASSURED YOU WILL BE FOUND OUT Numbers 32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out.
WE FIND 4 YOUNG MEN FAR AWAY FROM HOME
SO EASY TO GIVE IN
NO ONE WOULD SEE
NO ONE WOULD BLAME THEM FOR EATING THE KING’S MEAT AFTER YOU GOT TO EAT
LIVING IN THE PALACE WOW DO IT MAN
YOUR HEART WILL KNOW IT’S WRONG
GOD KNOWS IT’S WRONG
YOU WILL KNOW IT’S WRONG
THEY PURPOSED IN THEIR HEARTS FROM THE BEGINNING TO DO RIGHT
YOU SAY I HAVE MESSED UP ALL READY THEN GET IT RIGHT WITH GOD 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. THEN PURPOSE NOT TO DO IT AGAIN LIKE DANIEL DID
DO RIGHT AWAY FROM HOME AND CHURCH YOU ARE WHO YOU HANG WITH OR GO WITH
3.IT IS ALWAYS RIGHT TO DO RIGHT REGAURDLESS OF THE RESULTS:
A GOOD RULE TO FOLLOW ALWAYS MAKE YOUR DECISION FOR DOING RIGHT APART FROM THE END RESULTS
IF IT TURNS OUT WRONG DO RIGHT
DANIEL COULD HAVE BEEN EATEN BY THE LIONS HE DID RIGHT ANY WAY THE LIONS MOUTHS WERE SHUT UP BY GOD
THE 3 HEBREW CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN BURN ALIVE THEY DID RIGHT ANYWAY JESUS WENT THRU THE FIRE WITH THEM
STEPHEN THE PREACHER WAS STONED TO DEATH FOR PREACHING PREACHED THE TRUTH ANY WAY HE GOT STONED BUT SAW JESUS WITH OPEN ARMS TO WELCOME HIM HOME
FOLKS DOING RIGHT HAS ITS OWN REWARD
DON’T CONSIDER THE RESUTS WHEN YOU HAVE TO DECIEDE WHETER TO RIGHT OR WRONG
ALWAYS DO RIGHT
WHEN FACED WITH WRONG OR RIGHT AT SCHOOL DO RIGHT
WHEN FACED WITH WRONG OR RIGHT AT WORK DO RIGHT
WHEN FACED WITH RIGHT OR WRONG AROUND FRIENDS DO RIGHT
WHEN FACED WITH RIGHT OR WRONG WITH BOYFRIEND DO RIGHT
WHEN FACED WITH RIGHT OR WRONG WITH GIRFRIEND DO RIGHT
4.IT IS NOT RIGHT TO DO WRONG IN ORDER TO DO RIGHT
THERE IS POPULAR LIE GOING AROUND
“AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A CHANCE TO DO GOOD, ANYTHING GOES”
WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!!!!!!!!
MANY A BAD THING HAS BEEN DONE WRONG. IN ORDER TO MAKE IT RIGHT IT HAS DONE MUCH DAMAGE
RIGHT SHOULD RISE & FALL ON ITS OWN MERITS
NOT UPON THE OPPORTUNTIES IT PRESENTS
DOING RIGHT IS A OPPORTUNTY
HAS ITS OWN RESULTS
HAS ITS OWN REWARD
IT PRESENTS ITS OWN SATISFACTION
SHOULD I DO RIGHT EVEN IF IT MEANS LOSING MY JOB YES
SHOULD I DO RIGHT EVEN IF I LOSE MY POPULARITY
(GIRLS SING THE RIGHT SONGS NO MATTER, PLAY THE RIGHT SONG ON THE GUITAR, PIANO NO MATTER, DRESS RIGHT WHEN FACED WITH A CHOICE IN YOUR HEART YOU KNOW ITS WRONG DO RIGHT)
SHOULD I DO RIGHT IF IT MEANS LOSING MY FRIENDS YES
(WHEN FACED TO DO WRONG CHOOSE RIGHT)
SOME THOUGHTS:
DANIEL DID RIGHT & WAS PROMOTED TO THE TOP
NERO DID WRONG & PAUL DID RIGHT
HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU MET WITH THE NAME NERO (0)
HOW MANY PAULS HAVE YOU MET? (UN NUMBERED)
YOU SEE PARENTS NAME THEIR CHILDREN AFTER THOSE WHO HAVE DONE RIGHT
STEPHEN DID RIGHT & DIED HE LOOKED UP & SAW JESUS WAITING FOR HIM
JOHN DID RIGHT & WAS EXILED TO THE ISLE OF PATMOS BUT IT TURNED OUT RIGHT HE WAS TAKEN UP TO THE 3RD HEAVEN RESULT THE BOOK OF REVALTION WAS WRITTEN
THE 3 HEBREW CHILDREN DID RIGHT LOOKED BAD FOR THEM BUT JESUS WAS RIGHT THERE WITH THEM ALL THE WAY
THERE IS NO THRILL IN COMPRIMSE EVERY ONE DOES THAT
THERE IS NOTHING THAT COMPARES TO THE FEELING OF DOING RIGHT
NOT EVEN THE GREATEST ROLLERCOASTER RIDE CAN GIVE THE THRILL OF DOING RIGHT GIVES
NOT EVEN HAVING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRLFRIEND COMPARES
NOT EVEN THE HUNK OF A BOYFRINED COMPARES
NOTHING COMPARES TO THE FEELINGS THAT COMES FROM DOING RIGHT
DO RIGHT EVEN IF IT’S UNPOPULAR
DO RIGHT IF IT LOOKS BAD
DO RIGHT IF IT TURNS OUT WRONG
DO RIGHT WHEN OPPORTUNITY IS LOST
DO RIGHT IF NOBODY THINKS YOU SHOULD DO RIGHT
DO RIGHT EVEN IF NO BODY ELSE DOES RIGHT
I KNOW IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO DO RIGHT BUT LIFE IS NOT EASY
IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY TO SAY NO TO WRONG
BUT REMEMBER IT IS ALWAYS WRONG TO DO WRONG
RIGHT TO DO RIGHT
IT NEVER WRONG TO DO RIGHT
LET US PURPOSE IN HEARTS TO DO RIGHT
EVEN IF YOU SEE THE STARS FALLING DO RIGHT
END RELUTS ARE ALWAYS BETTER FOR DOING RIGHT
DOING WRONG ALWAYS BRINGS PUNISHMENT
Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
WHAT WILL YOU DO TEENAGER!
HEY MON & DAD YOU TOO!
HEY YOUTH PASTOR HOW ABOUT YOU!
HEY CHRISTAIN?????????????
