God
needs a man like Daniel, the overcomer, who was a self-sacrificing man
with the spirit of martyrdom. This characteristic cannot appear
spontaneously or overnight. In order to gain this characteristic, we
need to contact and experience the sacrificing Christ more and more. The
more we do this, the more we will know Him and the more we will know
how great, how good, how gracious, how amazing, and how loving Christ
is. Consequently, His love of affection will constrain us to live for
Him, and to die for Him. (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
To
live for Him sounds good, but to die for Him does not sound really
enjoyable to me, is it? But paradoxically, the result of this is that we
will be among the happiest persons in the world, because we will be
able to enjoy the Lord every time, and we will be praising Him all the
day long. Moreover, we will provide happiness for God and also for
others.
Wow, what an amazing life we will have! Let's be the overcomers,
the self-sacrificing men with the spirit of martyrdom.
