“Look!” Nebuchadnezzar shouted. “I see four men , unbound , walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god!” Daniel 3: 25 The Holy Bible , The New Living Translation
Every Christian must all go through the burning off of the dross. The dross is impurities with in our heart like greed , arrogance , impatience. It certainly is not enjoyable. The longer we fight it , the longer we will be in the fire.
For me it lasted a year. For some others I know , it lasted for up to five years.
Trust me , it is better to surrender to Christ.
But , Jesus said He will never leave us and He will not. He is right in the furnace with us. Although it is extremely unpleasant at the time , we praise Jehovah for this blessing every day of our lives afterwards.
This experience brings us ever closer to our Heavenly Beloved and because the dross is gone , our personal , social and communal live with Jehovah , Jesus and The Holy Spirit is much better.
Prayer: Thank you Jehovah ‘Immeku (The Lord Is With You Judges 6:12 ) that You have blessed me to put me in the furnace to burn off the impurities that come between You and me. An added benefit it that these impurities are also bad for me as well so my life is better without them. I thank you in the name of He who has walked the walk with me through out this ordeal, Jesus Christ. Amen
May you be blessed to know you are not walking through the furnace alone. Joseph a son of Jehovah
