PRINCIPLES MAKE PRINCIPALS
SCRIPTURE: 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. Daniel 1:8
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Those who stand out in life stand on standards.
Principles are fundamental truths or guidelines set by an entity or a person to regulate their conducts or affairs.
Principal people are principled people. It was principle that made
Daniel to reject the sumptuous delicacies of the king of Babylon. Daniel
also refused to stop praying on the strength of his principles (Daniel
6:11-12).
The shortage of principles is the reason for the scarcity of
principal people on earth. The stronger your value, the more valuable
you will be on earth.
You may ask why no one wants to adhere to the advice of a thief or a
harlot. It is because they lack principles. A drunkard has no voice on
earth.
Those who stand out in life stand on standards. When principles are weak, influence will be weak.
Principled people are always attracted to principled people.
Integrity attracts integrity. So, if you are a principled person, a
smoker, or a gossip should not be comfortable around you. Your rigidity
is an indictment on their carnality; your discipline is a rebuke on
their carelessness.
Beloved, to become a principal person in life, you must be a person of strong principles.
Remember this: Those who stand out in life stand on standards
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Read the account of Daniel in the scripture
2. Make up your mind to be a person of principle like Daniel.
