PAYING FOR THE SINS OF THE FATHERS – ANGLICAN DEVOTIONAL

READ: Daniel 1:1-7 (NKJV)

  1. In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.
  2. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the articles of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the articles into the treasure house of his god.
  3. Then the king instructed Ashpenaz, the master of his eunuchs, to bring some of the children of Israel and some of the king’s descendants and some of the nobles,
  4. young men in whom [there was] no blemish, but good-looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understand, who [had] ability to serve in the king’s palace, and whom they might teach the language and literature of the Chaldeans.
  5. And the king appointed for them a daily provision of the king’s delicacies and of the wine which he drank, and three years of training for them, so that at the end of [that time] they might serve before the king.
  6. Now from among those of the sons of Judah were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.
  7. To them the chief of the eunuchs gave names: he gave Daniel [the name] Belteshazzar; to Hananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach; and to Azariah, Abed-Nego.

THE MESSAGE:

Daniel and his young colleagues found themselves in Babylon for the sins committed by their fathers over the years. God had taken time to warn them through His prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah but they never listened. God even told them through Jeremiah that the people of Judah would spend seventy years in captivity in Babylon, yet they remained adamant (Jeremiah 25: 11). In our text, we see Daniel and other young men selected to undergo a special training to serve in the palace of king Nebuchadnezzar. They had no choice than to obey. Some of us are suffering today because of the sins of our fathers in the past (Ezekiel 18: 1-2; Exodus 20: 4-5). Such people may labour under one curse or the other; sometimes, they can’t understand what is happening in their lives because their labours do not bear much fruit.

As a father, are you watching the life you are currently living so that you do not leave behind for your generations sins they will pay for because of your carelessness? If you are suffering under the sins of your fathers, thank God for the Lord Jesus Christ who brought redemption to mankind by shedding His blood on the Cross (1 Corinthians 15: 57). May you allow Him to free you today!

PRAYER: Lord Jesus, may You set me free today from every bondage arising from the sins of my fathers.
